Apostle Samuel Oppong-Brenya, officiated the youth divine service at Navorongo. He used Exodus 24:3-5 as the basis for the divine service. The Apostle dwelt much on verse 5 where stout young men with zeal offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. He entreated the youth to show the same commitment and zeal in the salvation work of Christ under His Apostles. He mentioned among other young men in the old covenant like Joseph, David and Samuel. He described the following attributes of Joseph,
