Convention FAQs
Q1: When and where is the International Youth Convention this year?
The IYC’24 will be held from July 18th – 21st at 10000 Kleckley Drive, Houston, Texas.
Q2: Who is the convention meant for? Is it only for teenagers and youth?
No—people of all ages can attend! There will be specialized breakout sessions focusing on all kinds of subjects—from spiritual empowerment to academic excellence to educational scholarship and internship to entrepreneurship, relationship, financial management, and ministerial development. The convention will showcase seminars and workshops for all age groups. Activities include indoor and outdoor games, choir demonstrations, and events for all family members to enjoy.
Q3: I am an adult – do I still need to register?
Yes! All intending participants must register with their own name, regardless of their age. This registration guarantees each attendee access to a pre-packaged conference badge, T-shirt, and other conference materials.
Q4: What must I bring to have a smooth sign-in process upon arrival?
Please have a copy of your ticket on hand, either electronically on a phone or other device or physically printed out. We cannot reissue tickets on-site, so please ensure that you come prepared. If you cannot find your ticket, please email registration@mfmyouthministries.org before the start of the convention. Once the convention commences, our representatives will not be able to respond to inquiries and concerns.
Q5: What does a ticket look like, and how do I get one?
Conference participant ticket will be emailed to you within 3 days of your registration. The message will come from TicketLeap with the subject line “MFM Youth Ministry sent you a ticket to International Youth Convention ’24”

Q7: How do I register for the convention?
Please visit our website, mfmym.org, and click the REGISTER BUTTON in the top right-hand corner. You should get a confirmation message when your registration is completed.
Q8: What do I get from registering? Will I be allowed into the convention auditorium if I don't have a registration?
A conference participant badge, T-shirt, meal tickets, lecture series booklet, age-appropriate spiritual books, and other pre-packaged conference materials. You must register to attend the seminars and workshops and participate in the revival and anointing services.
Q9: I can't seem to find my ticket in my email, but I already registered. What do I do? Should I register again?
Please don’t. Conference participant tickets are sent into your email box from TicketLeap with the subject line – “MFM Youth Ministry sent you a ticket to International Youth Convention ’24.” If after three (3) business days you still have not received your ticket and you are confident that you completed your registration, please send email registration@mfmyouthministries.org, and a representative will personally assist you with your registration. Registering more than once per attendee causes a pile-up in the database and lengthens the ticket distribution process for our volunteers.
Q10: Will accommodation and feeding be provided?
While lunch and dinner will be provided for all participants younger than 34, there will be food trucks onsite where participants can purchase food and drinks. All participants are expected to book their hotel accommodations. Information about discount prices for hotel accommodations is available on our website: https://mfmym.org/example/.
Q11: I'm interested in volunteering, and I've heard that I need to register twice. What does that mean? Do I need to submit my registration for the convention again?
Definitely not. The volunteer sign-up form is different from registering for the convention. The volunteer form provides the conference planners with the details about when you will arrive for the event and what workstream you are volunteering for. You are required to register for the conference separately, even as a volunteer.
