On Friday evening, dozens of young people gathered at Beautiful Feet Ministries (BFM) for the third annual Youth and Kids Rally in the Valley event in Boardman. 

Praise and worship performers and motivational speakers lit up the crowd as they spread messages of unity and hope.

"We are just basically doing something to gather the youth together, so that we could do something  positive and impactful and also bring glory to God," BFM minister Trinity Sharper said.  

Sharper believes uplifting the next generation while promoting the gospel of Christ will help steer them away from negative influences and towards a brighter future.
