The YDFs have a twice-a-month online study doing chapter analysis led by Kuya Gary Leath. They have finished the book of Galatians and are now studying the book of Ephesians.

During the 4-day Intensive Midyear Training for the YDFs, the trainees learned about biblical interpretation and spiritual gifts. They also discussed 2 Timothy and the book titled, “The Ways of the Alongsider”.
