Hey TD!
Let’s give a shout out to our 2019 Youth Speakers Tournament team: Anabell Xu, Benson Yu, Jason Ke, and Stefan Chu. It was a very special year, as the team and coaches really experienced intimacy and bonding with Christ as the center of it all. There was lots of vulnerability, openness, tears, and laughter, as the team learned to trust and share their lives with one another, warts and all. In doing so, they learned how to keep one another accountable, while still accepting one another and all the quirks we all possess.
God grew each speaker deep down where it counts and helped them develop and deliver some excellent diverse powerful speeches on Sex & Television, Jesus is Greater Than Religion, 5 Things Every High School Graduate Should Know About the Bible, and Dear Younger Me. Each speaker was able to reach their potential and most importtantly, meet God.
As far as the actual CA State Youth Speakers Tournament results, we’d like to say a special congratulations to Anabell Xu for winning the tournament! Anabell is the latest in MBCLA Youth Speakers Tournament winners that will be charged to steward her victory and entrustment well:
