THE 2010 Solomon Islands Mission Youth Congress of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) ended on a high note on Saturday, with new friendship being forged.
The week-long congress brought together more than one thousand youths, volunteers, speakers, and guests to the campsite at the Burns Creek, east Honiara.
And following the conclusion of the congress, many of the youths established bonds and friendships.
For many of the youths, the friendships created were the highlight after the week-long event.
One of the youths form Gizo, Zedi Milton, said the congress had been his first outing after many years in the Western Province.
He said the congress enabled him to make new friends and reunite with old ones.
"And it was sad indeed to separate after the congress because of the many friends and connections that have been created amongst the youths," he said.
A Honiara youth Toli Seth said the congress provides an opportunity for young people in the country to establish new connections and relations.
Mr Seth said many bonds and friendships were formed throughout the week.
"And that’s one thing good about the gathering," he said.
A youth official also told the gathering that the event is the best time to find their future and right partner.
On Saturday, some of the youths organised lunch as part of fellowshipping together during the congress.
Youths as far as Temotu to Choiseul gathered for the event, organised for the first time since the opening of the Maranatha Hall at Burns Creek.
The congress ended on Saturday evening after a powerful sermon by guest speaker Pr Barak Munganda, then the lowering of the flag in the afternoon, followed by a concert later in the evening.
Temotu youths were the first to leave on Saturday evening.
Others left on Sunday and throughout in this week.
