The vision of GYD is to recapture the reality of Adventist youth as a global movement mobilised for service, contributing to the proclamation of the everlasting gospel and ushering in the second coming of Jesus Christ. There is a lot more to religious faith than simply going to church and listening to sermons. The true practice of religion involves the revelation of God\u2019s love in living out Jesus\u2019s gospel commission as He bade us to before He ascended to heaven: through all manners of selfless acts that point a desperately needy world to the ultimate hope of the better world He has made possible for us. Grounded in the concluding words of Jesus in the parable of the Good Samaritan, \u201cGo and do likewise\u201d (Luke 10:25-37), the theme of the Global Youth Day is \u201cBe the sermon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GYD takes place every year on the third Sabbath of March. The next one will be 21 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-500x280.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-1100x619.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GYD-2026.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What are you planning to do?
