In a time when the world is growing darker and filled with more evil, we as the church must draw ever closer to God. As we learn to lean on Him and dwell in His presence, we may understand the depths of the Glory of God.

Hebrews 10:19-22 explains that we are able to go into the very presence of God, and experience His Glory. By the sacrifice of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can draw near to God.

-How do we enter the presence of God?

-How do we draw near in faith?

-What does it mean to have a pure heart?

-How do we experience the presence of God?

In verse 19, the writer of Hebrews tells us that we can come directly into the presence of God in confidence. This is possible by the sacrifice of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

In verse 22, we are reminded to draw near to God with unwavering faith, trusting completely in the redeeming work of Christ. So that we can dwell in the presence of God.

Continuing in verse 22 it teaches that when we draw near to God, we must come with a pure heart, freed from our guilty conscience. 

Verse 19-22 shows us that through the Blood of Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can enter the presence of God. Drawing near to Him in full Faith and a Pure Heart.

Our theme for 2025-2026 RBYA year is "Experiencing the Presence of God”. Our prayer for this year is that we understand what it means to dwell in the presence of God, and for this knowledge to impact our lives in an applicable way.  May it strengthen our confidence and the attitude of our hearts in prayer.

Our greatest desire is that through these events and camps, we draw closer to God and understand His presence and glory in a deeper way, knowing that we have access to the throne room of God through Christ. 

We pray that through these events, all the glory and honor be given to God.

Because we believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal salvation and because we understand the many difficulties young people encounter in their pursuit of Christ, our mission is to serve the Romanian Baptist youth of the United States and Canada by pointing them to Jesus Christ in everything that we do.

Every event we organize (Converge conferences, winter camp, summer camp, etc.) and all the social media content we will publish will be for the glory of God and for the salvation and sanctification of the youth.

RBYA does not replace the local church. That is why we strive to encourage pastors, youth leaders and especially parents, to support and serve in their local churches and in their homes by teaching, encouraging, , uniting, loving and discipling their youth.
