Help me write the Minute of 1ST AGC YOUTH EXECUTIVE MEETING which was held on the 5th of February, 2025 at the CED Auditorium using the salient points below:

Opening prayer was done by Bro. peter Onuabuchi at 8:10pm.
Chairperson was the youth president for 2025 - Bro. Austin Egbunike.
He emphasized that from time to time,
-we may run vigil for executives meeting.
-Responses on Whatsapp groups are very important.
-Fasting & Prayer - important for Exco's
-Planning of Programmes to come in subsequent meetings (Quarterly, Weekly, Special programmes)
Bro. Austin emphasized that his interest for this year is to continue with last year youth theme "Raising Godly Profittable youth
" because he feels like we have not yet covered it.
The excos introduced a program last year "SWAP" which stands for Spirit Worship and Prayer. - It held twice last year. He stated that there is much need to continue it.
-He stated that Our Reverend Introduced a programme last year "Youth Awake" for every sunday but Bro. Austin appealed to him that it should be two weeks interval instead of every sunday. The exco's of 2024 noticed that every two weeks was also very stressful so Bro Austin met Reverend and spoke with him to allow us look within the Youth Ministry & find how the programme will be okay for the youth. The others agreed to this idea.
So Bro. Austin suggested Youth Awake to be Once a month.
He also suggested the introduction of Social media accounts for the youth ministry = Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter now "X", Facebook, etc which will help boost publicity.
Live streaming Youth Awake can help us and holding down vital youth with programmes and involvement also.
Bro. Boniface also suggested Film Shows/Movie Nights, Career talks, Picnics, Community Service while Bro. Austin added Talksow and running the programmes via livestreaming on all our platforms can help.

The meeting then shifted to planning for Thursday 7th of February, 2025 youth evening fellowship.
The Exco's chose Bro. Charles to Anchor the Youth Evening Service for 7th.
The programme agenda went thus:
