The idea to organize such congress was previously conceived many months ahead.

The event is to be held at Domo Polisport, Guatemala City.
Eduardo Verastegui and Karyme Lozano will share their conversion experiences to motivate the youth in saying Yes to Jesus Chr-ist! Yes to purity, chastity and Yes to God! This can be read in the Mexican actor's website.
