The first ever For the Strength of Youth conference in the country of Ethiopia was held this year.

FSY is a large, five-day event sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that includes devotionals, classes and activities designed to help strengthen faith in Jesus Christ and help youth have fun as they learn to apply the gospel in all aspects of their lives.

Sixty-eight youth and 16 leaders gathered in Ethiopia’s capital city of Addis Ababa for FSY Sept. 1-6. The theme was taken from this year’s youth theme, “Look Unto Christ,” found in Doctrine and Covenants 6:36, which says, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”
