BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE TO AYF NIGERIA ON THE OCCASION OF HER 79TH ANNIVERSARY — MAY 7, 2026
On behalf of the President and the entire JEPC 3 family of Supra North, I bring you warm felicitations as the Anglican Youth Fellowship of Nigeria celebrates 79 glorious years of grace, growth, and godly impact today.
*79 YEARS OF FAITHFULNESS*
Since 1947, AYF Nigeria has stood as a beacon of light, raising generations of young people who are rooted in Christ and committed to the mission of the Church. From one fellowship to thousands across Dioceses, from small gatherings to a national movement — it is truly the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our sight.
Through changing seasons, challenges, and times of revival, AYF has remained steadfast in its mandate: To build up Christ-like youths who will transform the Church and society. That is no small feat. It is a testimony of God’s sustaining grace.
*A MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION*
We thank God for the founding fathers whose vision gave birth to this fellowship. We appreciate every past and present National Executive, Chaplain, Diocesan Council, and member who has labored sacrificially to keep the flame burning. Your sacrifices have not been in vain.
A MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT
As we mark 79 years, we are reminded that our journey is not over. The harvest is still plenty, and the generation before us needs a bold, passionate, and Spirit-filled youth force. May AYF continue to be a place where young people encounter Christ, are discipled, and are deployed for Kingdom service.
*Our theme for this year, IF GOD BE FOR US — Romans 8:31,* reminds us that the same God who brought us this far will take us further. No challenge, no opposition, no cultural shift can stop what God has ordained for AYF Nigeria.
*OUR PRAYER FOR AYF @ 79*
• May the Lord renew your strength and raise more laborers for His vineyard.
• May AYF continue to be a voice of truth, a platform of unity, and a house of revival.
• May the next generation surpass us in holiness, excellence, and impact.
JEPC 3, Supra North, stands with you in thanksgiving and celebration. We are proud to be part of this great family. As we look forward to the 80th anniversary next year, we pray that God will grant AYF even greater testimonies.
*Happy 79th Anniversary, AYF Nigeria!*
_Towards the Perfect Man… Forward Ever, Backward Never!_
