We thank the Lord for His loving care, guidance, and presence. The Tenom Subzone Upper Primary Student Spiritual Convocation was successfully held at Tenom Church from 28th to 30th June 2024, and concluded smoothly. Children aged 8 to 12 gathered at the church during the weekend and school holidays to participate in the activities, study the Bible, cultivate piety and discipline, and deepen their understanding of the truth. Through these lessons, they learned about their roles in life and how their love and conduct should glorify God in their interactions with others. As the Bible encourages, "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young."  Just like Jesus, who at twelve years old accompanied His parents to Jerusalem to observe the festival, the children found a perfect example to follow.

We thank the Lord and the parents for their commitment to their children’s spiritual growth. We also appreciate the dedication and encouragement of the teachers, who guided the children in holding fast to the truth, understanding it, and applying it in their daily lives. May all honor, glory, and praise be to His holy name.
