In an address presented by sister Anthonia Ubachukwu said the program was ment for both the young and the old and that God's standards cannot be changed because of Worldly standard and called on parents to lead by examples as their children were studying them and that life style matters alot. The youth preacher at the event Sister Chisom James who spoke on the message titled "whose standard ?" gave examples of Biblical characters, who model God's standard like Samuel, Joseph, Daniel and Joshua. Sis Chisom said people should fear God and stick to his standards, while also stressing the need to stay away from compromising situations that can expose believers to shame, hopelessness and loss of eternal life. She stressed that children should spend less time on watching television or social media and take their studies seriously.
