As I reflected on a recent conversation with Brother Elvis, one of Michel Camp District’s promising youth leaders, his words struck a deep chord within me: “The found must find.”
This simple yet profound statement kept echoing in my spirit, especially as we prepare to celebrate National Youth Week under the theme “Unleashed to Go and Tell.” The Holy Spirit began to reveal how deeply connected these two phrases are, both expressing the same divine mandate: those who have been saved must in turn lead others to salvation.
“The found must find” is more than a catchphrase; it is a call to action. It reminds us of who we are and what we have been called to do. As followers of Christ, we are not to keep the gospel to ourselves. The grace that found us must flow through us to reach others who are still lost in darkness.
In John 4:21–30, we encounter the Samaritan woman; a person despised and rejected by her society. Yet Jesus found her, revealed Himself to her as the Messiah, and completely transformed her life. Immediately, she left her water jar, ran to her community, and said, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did!” Through her testimony, many believed in Jesus.
Like that woman, we were once lost in sin, far from God, but He found us, forgave us, and gave us new life. Having been found, it is now our responsibility and privilege to help others encounter the same Saviour.
As we observe National Youth Week, may we, the youth of The Church of Pentecost, rise to this great assignment. Let us go into our communities, schools, marketplaces, and online spaces to share the message of Jesus with boldness and compassion. We are the found, and it is time to find others.
“The found must find” is not just a theme for an event; it is a lifestyle. It is the heartbeat of missions and evangelism. Every believer is called to go and tell. As we live out this truth, we become agents of transformation, bringing others into the saving knowledge of Christ.
We will go and tell, because we remember that Jesus found us, and it is now our sacred duty to find others and introduce them to Him.
Hey brother!
Hey sister!
Go and tell!
