REV. FR. ASUE CELEBRATES BENUE YOUTHS ON INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY
Rev. Fr. Terungwa Asue, Spiritual Director, St. Mathias Catholic Church, Nyichia-Selagi, has felicitated with the youth of Benue State on the occasion of the 2026 International Youth Day.
Fr. Asue encouraged young people to see their youth as a precious gift and a season of purpose, urging them to place God at the centre of their dreams, pursue knowledge, cultivate good character and use their talents for the good of society.
Quoting St. Paul, he reminded them: โLet no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.โ (1 Timothy 4:12)
He called on Benue youths to remain people of faith, hope, peace and integrity, stressing that with God, discipline and purposeful living, they could become a powerful force for the transformation of Benue State and Nigeria.
Happy International Youth Day 2026 to the great youth of Benue State!
May Christ guide your dreams, strengthen your faith and make your youth a testimony of His grace.
