HeartCry Varsity & Youth Conference

The Pursuit of Glory

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time
are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

Romans 8:18

Dates June 23 – July 7, 2026
Cities Lagos  ·  Jos  ·  Abuja
Speaker Paul Washer

"This world's glory is fading. Come and behold the true and eternal Glory."

Conference theme

Three Sessions. One Vision.

The Varsity and Youth conferences are built around three sessions that lead young people from the emptiness of worldly glory to the overwhelming, eternal beauty of God's glory.

01

The World's Fading Glory

Matthew 4:8

What Satan offered Christ — all the kingdoms and their glory — is what the world still offers us today. This session exposes the vanity of earthly ambition and the emptiness behind its promises.

02

Beholding the True Glory

2 Corinthians 3:18

As we behold the glory of the Lord we are transformed. This session turns our gaze toward Christ — the radiance of God's glory — and calls us to a life of transformation through the Word.

03

Future Glory

Romans 8:18

The sufferings of this present time cannot compare to what awaits. This session fixes our eyes on the coming glory that sustains endurance, fuels hope, and makes the pursuit worth everything.

Paul Washer

Paul Washer is the founder and missions director of the HeartCry Missionary Society, an organization devoted to supporting indigenous missionaries in some of the most unreached regions of the world. He is widely known for his uncompromising, expository preaching grounded in the Reformed Baptist tradition, calling believers to a serious and genuine Christian life rooted in Scripture, prayer, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

His ministry has taken him to dozens of nations, and his burden for the nations — alongside his commitment to the local church — has defined HeartCry's mission since its founding in 1994.
