International  RAYAC The International Richard Allen Young Adult Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church

Richard Allen Young Adult Council (RAYAC) was born at the 45th Quadrennial Session of the AME Church, and is an outgrowth of the Richard Allen Youth Council (RAYC). The RAYAC no longer serves as an overseeing body of other youth organizations, it is now a group for young adults between the ages of 21-39. The goal of the RAYAC is to retain young adults to the Lord, the church, and to lead young adults to use their gifts and talents in the service of the Lord.

Today, the Connectional Richard Allen Young Adult Council pauses to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸❤️

As we gather with family, friends, and community, may we never forget those who gave their lives in service to this nation. Their courage, sacrifice, and legacy will forever be remembered.

From the Connectional RAYAC family, we say thank you. 🕊️

Today, we honor more than a continent — we honor a legacy. 🌍❤️🖤💚

Africa Day, celebrated each year on May 25th, commemorates the founding of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, now known as the African Union. This day stands as a reminder of Africa’s strength, unity, liberation, and continued impact across the world.

As members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and RAYAC Districts 14–20, we recognize the deep historical and spiritual connection between Africa and the AME Church. From the resilience of our ancestors to the global witness of the Black Church today, Africa’s influence continues to shape our worship, our culture, our leadership, and our faith.

Today is not only about reflection — it is about celebration. We celebrate the richness of African cultures, languages, traditions, innovation, and the young leaders rising across the continent and throughout the diaspora.

May we continue to walk in unity, justice, excellence, and purpose as one global church connected by faith and mission.

Mental health matters in the Body of Christ too.

Sometimes we shout through it.
Sometimes we pray through it.
Sometimes we smile through it.

But healing also comes through honest conversations, safe spaces, wisdom, and support. 🤍
