1 August 2013 Novi Sad, Serbia [Agnieszka Kluska, ted<\/em>NEWS]<\/span>\u00a0Bustling streets of Novi Sad and bright sunshine welcomed young Adventists making their way into SPENS,\u00a0 European Adventist Youth Congress site, this morning.<\/p>\n

Aleksandra and Enoch opened the morning programme by introducing two visitors from Papua New Guinea who travelled for 87 hours and passed through 7 countries on the way. Nothing is impossible if the goal is worth the effort and the Pan-European Adventist Youth Congress many a time exceeds the expectations. This morning has proved it also, leaving many inspired and hungry for more.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joyful worship and insightful drama set the stage for Pastor David Asscherick who used it fully to capture the audience\u2019s attention and share his thoughts on the theme of\u00a0 \u201eThe Power of Jesus to make me GROW\u201c.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The speaker pointed out that transition from the old to the new is compared to a walk in the Scriptures. \u201eIt\u2019s a walk, not a leap. It takes time\u201c. The inward man is being renewed from faith to faith, from grace to grace, day by day, continued Asscherick.<\/p>\n

\u201eWhen you\u2019re learning to walk, falling becomes a very real possibility\u201c remarked the speaker referring to Proverbs 24:16. \u201eSo many of us have been told that struggle is wrong\u201c. \u201eIf you struggle in your Christian experience, if you\u2019re finding it hard to learn how to walk again when you walk with Christ, that means you\u2019re swimming against the whole river of your inclinations and the inclinations of the world.\u201c \u201eThe struggle itself is a proof that you are alive!\u201c<\/p>\n

\"\"David Asscherick concluded \u201eThe secret to Christian growth is to keep getting up\u201c. The audience was encouraged to join in the prayer and pledge to keep rising from their falls while trusting solely in the grace of Christ.<\/p>\n

Asscherick illustrated his message with lots of movement, infectious energy and humour. \u201eToday I\u2019ve heard the message I was waiting for\u201c said Tomek from Poland. \u201eI loved this energy\u201c added Katia from Denmark.<\/p>\n

Intercessory prayers and music closed the morning worhsip and youth proceeded to seminars and workshops of their choice.<\/p>\n
