UYPCF Celebrates 25th Anniversary, Holds International Conference in Asaba

The Ututu Young Peoples’ Christian Fellowship (UYPCF) has celebrated its 25th anniversary with a four-day International Conference held from Thursday, August 27 to Sunday, August 30, 2026, at St. Patrick College, 1 Nnebisi Road, Asaba, Delta State.

The conference, held under the theme, “Season of All-Round Increase,” drawn from Psalm 115:14, featured worship, prayers, teachings, fellowship and other activities aimed at promoting the spiritual growth of members.

The President of UYPCF, Bro. Sunday Nwachukwu, led the fellowship during the anniversary celebration, as members reflected on the organisation’s 25 years of growth, service and commitment to God.

According to Bro Sunday Nwachukwu, Ututu Young Peoples’ Christian Fellowship (UYPCF) is a mandate from God and not the making of any man. She is both non-denominational and inter-denominational and was born with a special vision to “raise a people of great destiny.” God is doing this through the total emancipation of our people and dear land from the powers of darkness and translation of same into His glorious light.

One of the major highlights of the conference was a quiz competition involving participants from various zones of the fellowship. The competition provided members with an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the Bible while promoting learning and healthy competition.
