Imagine joining a global conversation where young people from all corners of the world come together to explore a shared theme. Well, that’s precisely what’s happening on Sunday, January 28, 2024, as we dive into the 2024 youth theme, “I am a disciple of Jesus Christ” (3 Nephi 5:13). It’s not just any discussion; it’s a Worldwide Discussion Event for Youth on discipleship!
Who’s Leading the Way?
Youth, we invite you to gather with your peers, your youth group, and your friends because this extraordinary discussion will be led by none other than Elder Gary E. Stevenson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Language No Barrier

Stevenson will be available in a variety of languages, including Cantonese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. You can find this enlightening video on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org broadcast page and in the Gospel Library Youth Events collection. Mark your calendars for January 28 because that’s when you’ll have the chance to watch it with your group.
