On August 1st, an online world camp that delivered hope to the hearts of East Africans ended the three-day long campaign.
In Africa, the Internet was expensive and there were few people who owned smartphones, so it was difficult to invite them, but the members of the East African IYF branch worked together and prepared a total of 10,626 people, and 55 million people received it through 33 broadcasters. I could be with the citizens.
IYF Uganda has continued to maintain close relations by signing MOUs with various government agencies, universities, and companies. When requesting a congratulatory speech for this East Africa World Camp, many government and university officials who have worked with them happily sent congratulatory speeches and sponsored the logo. In addition, it participated as a panel of Youth Connect, a program for planning the future of youth, and told the stories to the students participating in the forum about how they overcame the difficulties they faced in their lives.

“Thank you to Pastor Ock Soo Park, founder of the IYF for inviting us to give a congratulatory remark to the young people participating in this important annual event, the Online World Camp. An unprecedented online online event that has attracted millions of young people from all over the world. When participating in the camp, I encourage you to be creative.The global epidemic of the coronavirus has limited freedom of passage and physical exchange, but this cannot stop the exchange of information and even the exchange of ideas.
The reason is that through the information revolution, the whole world is condensed on your smartphone. This online world camp is designed to stimulate young people to participate in the development of their communities. This will be a great opportunity to develop an attitude.
We hope you will find fruitful results, and I ask you to put into practice all the useful ideas that have come out of this 2020 Online World Camp.”

Pastor Ock Soo Park’s words were aired on the occasion of an online Bible seminar held by Pastor Ock Soo Park as a lecturer in Korea, and was connected to UBC’s national broadcasting station, Dream TV, and Impact. Following this, a lecture by Pastor Ock Soo Park at the online world camp will be aired, and we are discussing with UBC, Channel 44, AZAM TV-Channel U, and Dream TV. So, up to 25,000,000 people will watch the broadcast.
For this camp, the president of the state broadcasting station sent a congratulatory message, and after the camp , the schedule was put into the state broadcasting station’s program and is being aired once a week. On the radio, pastor Ock Soo Park’s lecture is broadcast once a week after CLF.
We have signed a contract so that Pastor Park’s lecture can be held once a week, and we plan to give a world camp lecture once a week. Seruwada Bishop decided to help keep it airing whenever there was an event.
At Azam TV Channel U, I was open to IYF activities and wanted to be with all programs. For the East African Talent Show, the IYF Talent Show video and the World Camp Opening Ceremony program were made available on their TV. It promised to injure the first, second, and third place in advertisements and finals five times a day, and decided to broadcast GBS contents in the future.
Channel 44, the largest Christian broadcasting station in Uganda, is holding an MOU with Kenya GBS TV after an online Bible seminar and CLF. Pastor Ock Soo Park’s lecture will be aired once a day, and the World Camp lecture is also edited and aired every day.
At this World Camp, a fresh talent show was held to show the talents and talents of East African youth. A total of 400 teams applied from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania, and a total of 31 teams from Uganda participated. As the number of IYF Facebook channel followers in each country in East Africa increased through God Talent, the World Camp was promoted, and at the same time, many students who did not know IYF learned about IYF.

“The pastor said that God knows that we cannot keep the law. Also, Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and those who call on His name are forgiven. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and whatever burden he bears. Regardless of what he said, he said to lay down and rest. Also, Pastor Park emphasized that the law is the shadow of good things to come. All our sins were forgiven. When Jesus came, we were all liberated from our sins. By death our sins were washed away and made us holy. Our sins are also over.”

“The true meaning of the Sabbath is Jesus. The reason Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath is because he takes off all our burdens on that day. The true meaning of the Sabbath is Jesus, who washed away our sins and gave us true Sabbath and freedom. Do not look to the law, but look to Jesus. Jesus came and forgiven all our sins. Jesus came and our sins are forgiven through the shed of blood. We are righteous and forgiven through the blood of Jesus. You can come before God.”
In particular, as all the fresh talent participants participated in the camp, many Ugandan students were able to listen to God’s Word. Among them, while listening to Pastor Ock Soo Park’s words, many students received salvation and expressed their joy and gratitude for receiving salvation by sending their testimonies of salvation.
The Uganda branch contacted each person connected through the last IYF World Camp and events, and the branch members also invited their families and poured out their hearts. As a result, close to 2,000 people filed online, far more than expected.
In the meantime, connected pastors also attended the World Camp, gathering 10, 15, and 20 members of their church’s youth and congregation to listen to the word on a small cell phone, and those who attended sent their testimonies every hour.
On the other hand, IYF Uganda members attended as teachers and shared links every hour so that students in their class could attend. Also, because it was difficult for the ZOOM group to attend, they personally called and led participants through fellowship.

“First of all, I would like to thank you for being able to participate in the 2020 World Camp. This World Camp has given me many opportunities to make a constructive change in my life. A woman caught in adultery while listening to lectures in the morning and yesterday evening. What I can confess is that through Jesus I was actually able to ask God to set me free, but I was living with a lot of guilt on my shoulders, and what I feel now is that I have a better relationship with God. is.”

“If we are sinners, we are thinking that the cross of Jesus is a failure, because Jesus Christ has washed away all our sins. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and it is a good thing to come. We are the law. Can’t be slaves to us. Jesus has given us real rest.”
Mutegeji Emmanuel
“Thank God for allowing me to attend the 2020 World Camp. My life has nothing to do with God. But through Pastor Park’s lecture, my heart and God were connected. Daniel said all thoughts came up, but God’s As the pastor said, the reason God gave the law through John 8:1 is that the law is the shadow of good things to come, and Jesus paid for all my sins, so I am a righteous man and I am perfect. ”
Baruku Erikan
“The intent of the law is to convict us of our sins. We all have broken the law. But Jesus died for our sins. We are saved from our sins. By keeping the law, we are saved. They can never be justified. If they realize how they become righteous before God in this regretful and fearful situation like Corona 19, people will be free from sin and God will guide them.”
Michael
“In the old covenant we were enemies of God, but in the new covenant we became our God and became a sure man of God. We learned that the old covenant not only separated us from God but also brought death. This is why the woman caught during adultery in John 8 was stoned to death, but no one was able to help. I am grateful that I was able to learn that I was free from sin because of the words Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished”. “It is finished” is a word that confirms that I have been washed out at once. Thank you for taking me free from the bondage of sin.”
Meweveze Peter Paul
“I used to cry everyday thinking that I was a sinner, but now I realize the truth of Romans 3:23. Jesus came to this world to save us from our sins, and that is what Jesus bleeds as he died on the cross, and we That’s why he said, “It is finished,” meaning that our sins have been resolved forever, and if we say that we are sinners, we are rejecting the cross of Jesus. I am a sinner, but I am no longer a sinner if Jesus has forgiven them, and I do not believe my thoughts because we should not believe our thoughts.”
Due to the recent coronavirus, Ugandan people spend their free lives only at home without being able to face each other while practicing’social distance’ due to the coronavirus, especially due to economic difficulties. The online world camp invigorated such Ugandan people, brought light and hope, and found peace in the heart.
We thank God for working in Uganda through the online world camp, and we hope to connect with more young students in Uganda through future programs such as Mind Camp and Toyo Academy, and to grow in God.
