Overcomers

Chronicle…

The youth of a Church form its backbone. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says – “Remember now your creator in the days of your youth.” The chronicle of Zion’s youth – of how many Daniels’, Davids’ Esthers’ and Ruths’ were moulded from ordinary young people – is a dynamic and inspiring account.

It was in the early 1980s – a time of great awakening – that a core group of youngsters at Zion began a humble fellowship. As God began multiplying the youth, many surrendered their life to God and some committed themselves to full-time ministry. The revival that began in the youth through sincere prayers of the pastors and the Church’s members, multiplied a thousand fold, and took shape as God’s mighty army at Zion.

Conquerors’ Meet – Evolution and Revolution

It was God’s vision to Pastor Charles to begin a special service for Zion’s youth army. By God’s grace, the “Conquerors’ meet” began in 2006 at Zion. This meet takes place on every Sunday at 5 pm at Zion church. Conquerors’ meet is a time of fellowship for young people to grow more in the Lord. Mentored by Pastor Charles and Bro Solomon, and supported by Mrs. Preethy Charles Mrs. Anusha Solomon, the youth service greatly encourages and enables individuals to come closer to the Saviour and triumph through Him.

The Overcomers – Triumphant in Christ

The youth at Zion are called “The Overcomers.” This army was raised up by the Lord to defeat Satan and for young men and women to stand as testimonies of his wondrous love. The Overcomers have a sharp two-edged sword, which is the word of God, to overcome any situation triumphantly in Christ. The following verse is the promise that the Lord has given to this youth power team, and the name (The Overcomers) comes from the same.

“13…I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one… 14…I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.” ~ I John 2: 13, 14

The Beginning…

The Overcomers continue to grow steadfastly in the word of God and it is only through continuous prayers that this ministry has seen exponential growth. This is just the beginning of God’s revival in this land. There are many paths ahead to overcome, which young men/women of God can confidently achieve through the magnificent name of our Lord Jesus.
