THE MYF BADGE

Rev. Charles D. Kittoe designed the Badge of the MYF upon an order by the British Methodist Conference.  The Rev. Kittoe also recommended the motto of the Fellowship, which is a summary of the Fellowship’s Aims and Objectives.  The Fellowship adopted it.  The Badge has the following message:

1. Round Shape

 This signifies the World and the Supreme mission of God and all Christian Youth.

2. The Blue Colour

 This is the colour of the Methodist Church and signifies the bright sky.

3. The Yellow Colour

 This stands for the rich and endowed land of Ghana, and also the heavenly treasure we are all craving for

4. The Shell

 This signifies God the Father protecting all of us as the oyster is protected by its shell.

5. The Line under the Shell

 This is a Chain of brotherhood that links all members of the Fellowship all over the World.

The Badge is the embodiment of what the Fellowship is and stands for.  This is why members must cherish it and wear it.
