TORONTO - öÏÓãÊÓƵapp 1,000 youth and their families gathered together at Metro Toronto Convention CentreöÏÓãÊÓƵapp John Bassett Theatre to learn about a simple five-letter word that most of us struggle to understand: mercy.

TORONTO - For the 15th year in a row Canadian and American youths joined together for a day of love, laughter and lifting the Lord higher in their hearts.

Held on March 3 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, this yearöÏÓãÊÓƵapp Lift Jesus Higher Youth Rally combined loud music, modern technology and religious testimony, all in an attempt to engage the 1,300 in attendance.

The youth rally was just one aspect of the annual Lift Jesus Higher Rally. It also caters to adults, and this year had to turn people away at the door because it was at capacity.
