This quinquennial journey began in Hagerstown, Maryland at the Mt. Aetna Youth Camp, where 13 World Youth Directors em-braced the 7 Strategic Themes to guide all youth activities during these past five years.

The overall theme voted was “It’s time” –to reach, connect, reclaim, train, retain, involve and serve. All youth activities, Adventurer, Pathfinder, Ambassador and Senior Youth, en-sured that these key focuses were highlighted.

The Ambassadors, a new level for young people ages 16 – 21+, was also voted and approved to be launched around the world. To date, the Ambassadors level has a membership of 373,247 divided among 13,738 clubs.

Large youth congresses were held in every world division. These events provided programs and activities that were devotional in nature and provided for special affirmation and celebration oppor-tunities, such as the Pan European Youth Congress with 4,000 youth in attendance, or the South Asia Pacific Division Youth Congress held at Mountain View College with 80,000 worshippers in atten-dance on Sabbath.

The camporees also continued to attract huge crowds. The North American Division saw a record-breaking camporee with the attendance of 37,000 Pathfinders. Every division, union, and local conference made the camporees a special time for the Pathfinders to give their hearts to Jesus Christ and recommit their lives for His services.

I will be remised if the 2nd World Conference on Youth and Community Service held in Taipei, Taiwan is not mentioned here. Over 1,500 young people from every division came to impact this country. As a result, English Language International Schools have been opened around the country and operated by Seventh-day Adventist personnel. I could go on and on sharing great happenings of Seventh-day Adventist youth around the world.

At the headquarters, we revamped our website, developed and revised materials, and took new ini-tiatives encouraging the Youth Accent magazine to enrich youth leaders around the world with cutting- edge resources. Also, yearly themes and Week of Prayer materials were produced for world divisions.

ing their eyes and ears towards Atlanta, Georgia for General Conference Session. Every five years the church gets togeth-er to elect world leaders, plan strategies for missions, and revise church policies and church manual items. The theme for this session is what has been the main focus of Youth Ministry for the past 130 years: “The Advent Message to the whole world in my generation.” Ev-ery aim, motto, pledge, and law that has ever motivated Adventist Youth Minis-tries is found in 2 Corinthians 5:14.

The Seventh-day Adventist® Church is one of the very few denominations around the world that enjoys this kind of world unity. During this time when our youth are caught between two worlds, the World Soccer Cup and the General Conference Session, it is proper for us to remind ourselves to prayerfully join thousands of our fellow church members who will be convening in Atlanta, Georgia from June 23rd to July 3rd under the theme “Proclaim His Grace.” It is my prayer and hope that this will be our last General Conference Session and that the next one will be in Heaven. We are tired of being caught between two worlds. I look forward to a new heaven where we will worship one God and have a perfect world to enjoy!

To every young person I have talked to in the past few months, whether in Mexico or Samoa, they have all proved to me how they have been caught between two worlds as we approach the month of June.

The World Soccer Cup, to be played in South Africa, is being anticipated by many young people and those who are young at heart. People are supporting “winning teams” even before the games begin. I met a young person the other day in Best Buy (an electronic store here in the USA) buying a huge 52-inch flat monitor/TV in preparation for the event. He told me that he wanted to enjoy every minute of it and to feel like he was watching it live in South Africa.

As I thought of this great event unifying the whole world, I could not help but think of another event that is less than 15 days away for the Seventh-day Adventist® Church. Church members everywhere are direct-

No one thought the Elijah Project would involve so many young people in Evangelism. As we come to the end of this quinquennium, 43,813 projects were held, with the total number of baptisms reaching 193,913. We thank your young people for their dedication in spreading the good news in their territories. Ellen G. White wrote, “I saw that many souls might be saved if the young were where they ought to be…” (Messages to Young People, p. 206) As the young men and women participated in this project, we saw their lives and even their choice of life’s work affected. The youth of the Adventist Church have in every generation responded to the challenge, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel.’ Today, under the Elijah Project or Mission Caleb (for the South American Division), thousands of young people in many countries are serving the Lord as valiantly as the pioneers did.

As we come to the end of this awesome quinquennium, I want to thank all of the youth directors at every level of the church who untiringly led our youth to the Cross of Calvary. God bless all of you as you continue to proclaim His grace! From all of us at the World Headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, God bless you all! And remem-ber—He is coming soon!

1. Building bridges between the church and the community.

2. Developing meaningful relationships between the church and the leaders of the community and the nation.

3. The preparation of ground for gospel seed planting, aiding in making the com-munity receptive to the gospel message through evangelistic outreach.

4. SDA Churches, clinics, and schools got their building permits and support due to these community services done by SDA youth.

Youth community service programs had been proven very effective in training our young people to do great things for the Lord and in the building up of His church on earth. We would love to see these community service programs continue during the next quinquennium, 2011-2015, for God’s glory.

One of the favorite activities carried out by Seventh-day Adventist® (SDA) young people during the 2006-2010 quinquennium was the community ser-vice program, also called youth service ministries, where the youth are made aware of the community needs and are asked to provide services that benefit others. It’s a chance to apply their skills and ideals toward helping others and meeting critical needs in the community. By doing this, the youth learn new skills and get pleasure from new experiences, which results in a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Purpose

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus gave His marching orders: “Go out and train every-one you meet, far and near, in this way of life” (The Message). The commu-nity service:

1. Trains the youth to do missionary work, proclaiming the message of truth through their services and words. (Ephesians 4:11-12)

2. Trains the youth to connect with people and reach out to them with the gospel message.

3. Trains the youth to share their faith with others and fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission.

4. Trains the youth to develop a sense of civic duty, fulfilling what Jesus says in Matthew 25: 35, 36, that by doing good deeds to others, they have done that to Jesus Himself.

Activities

The SDA youth have participated in many community service activities, such as: Street and Neighborhood Cleanings, House/Office Building Cleaning and Repaint-ing, Teaching English, Art and Songs, Puppet Ministries, Lake and Beach Clean Ups, Church Renovations, Prison Ministry, Orphanage and Geriatrics Ministries, Hospital Visitations, Health Ministries, Blood Donors, Road and Bridge Repair, Food and Clothing Distributions, Tracts and Literature Ministries, etc.

Results

The community service conducted by SDA youth has brought about many positive results, such as:

THE ADVENTURERS

There are approximately 32,000 Adventurer clubs worldwide, with a membership of almost 1.5 million children, ages 6-9. The Adventurer club is designed to strengthen the parent-child relationship by provid-ing activities that require parents and children to work together. The activities are geared toward making the Bible more relevant to parents and children and creating opportunities for parents to learn parenting skills while at the same time enjoying special activities with their children.

The 4-year, age-specific curriculum includes approxi-mately 75 specialized awards in the areas of Arts & Crafts, Nature, Recreation, Spiritual development and Household Arts. For more information on these levels and awards, please visit our website: www.gcyouthmin-istries.org.

THE PATH… FINDERS

Sixty years ago the Pathfinder movement was officially voted as a structured club in the Seventh-day Adven-tist® church. The philosophy was carefully and prayer-fully chosen on the premise that “children learn best by example, rather than precept.” As they see leaders and parents modeling spiritual and social values, they too will aspire to develop high moral principles, loving and caring attitudes, and the determination to excel in all their various pursuits.

One of the objectives of the Pathfinder club is to help young people understand that God and the church loves them, cares for them, and appreciates them. The num-ber one objective of each club should be the personal salvation of every Pathfinder. Built into every program should be activities that encourage a healthy appreciation and love for God’s creation by enjoying outdoor activity (campouts, nature walks, nature honors, etc.) and seeking to foster the harmonious development of the physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual life of the Pathfinder.

The Pathfinder club also serves as an outreach ministry that helps to take care of people in need while sharing with them the Word of God, and one of its main focuses is evangelism. Let me share two stories with you of how Pathfindering can be used to bring others to Jesus.

STORY #1

Eastern Central Africa Division Camporee, Mwanza, Tanzania, summer 2008. During the camporee, the Tanzanian Union leadership scouted the area for children who were very poor and had nothing and no one to take care of them. They found 30 non-Adventist children from the surrounding villages and “adopted” them. At the end of the camporee they presented the children to the delegates and all those present and announced that all 30 children were going to be taken care of by the union and would attend the local boarding academy. This really touched me; I had to fight back the tears from coming. Just as Jesus, our leader, gives us hope for a better future, these leaders gave these children hope for a better to-morrow. I would like to see every Pathfinder Club involved in this kind of project. I’ll like to see every leader focused on caring about the children we already have in the church, but also on going out to offer other children the same hope Jesus gives us today.

STORY #2

In January 2009 I attended the Chilean Union Campo-ree and had the privilege of meeting a very interesting lady who shared her story with me. This lady, a nurse, said she felt the need to leave her native country, Chile, and go to Easter Island to do evangelistic work with the native people of that island. She is a Master Guide and worked with the Pathfinder club and decided that the best way to reach the local people was to organize a Pathfinder Club on the island so that she could care for, teach and love the Rapa-Nui children. After sev-eral months, the group grew to more than 20 people, including parents and children. In January 2009, because of this lady’s efforts, the first three Rapa Nui people

The first camporee for the newly formed Central Mexican Union was held at Xalostoc Camp in Mo-relos, Mexico from April 30 – May 3, 2010.

There are currently 171 churches in the Central Mexican Union with 67,243 church members. The church membership in this union is comprised of 75% youth under the age of 30.

Under the theme, “Happy and Faithful,” 113 Pathfinder clubs were represented with 3,300 Pathfinders and leaders in attendance. Local government officials also attended, rendering sup-port and appreciation to the Pathfinder ministry in their community. The highlights of the campo-ree were a parade of flags, swimming, marches, morning and evening devotions, and workshops. On Sabbath, 33 Pathfinders were baptized.

were baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist® Church. Because of the vision of a leader who believed in the po-tential of the Pathfinder Club as an Evangelistic ministry, in May 2010 the first Seventh-day Adventist® church was organized on the Rapa-Nui (Easter) Island.

The Pathfinder ministry is one of the most active min-istries in the Seventh-day Adventist® church. With God’s help, this ministry has grown to what it is today.

Remember the Path…Finders in your prayers.

Leaders throughout the world have been actively engaged in organizing camporees for their clubs. Space will not allow me to list all the camporees and other events that have taken place. The following page lists the events that were held at a Division-wide level.

THE MASTER’S… GUIDE

The Master Guide continues to be the highest level of leadership within the Adventurer/ Pathfinder programs of our church.

The Master Guide has accepted the responsibility of guiding children to Jesus. Our goal is to see the parents, who should be the first guide of the children, work hand-

in-hand with these leaders in leading their children to Jesus.

Although this ministry is the highest leadership level, we need leaders to recognize that they cannot stop growing. They need to continue seeking knowledge, both from the Bible and through various training semi-nars and conventions organized by their conferences, unions, and divisions.

When you are called to a position of leadership you can sometimes make the mistake of thinking you are ultimately the one in charge, and that the end result depends solely on you. But this is not so…it’s a paradox. The results depend on you, but at the same time it does not REALLY depend on you. You see, it is God who choos-es you. And it is He who will give you the skills, talents, knowledge, and wisdom necessary to succeed. He will guide you into choosing the team of workers that is best suited for the job—sometimes He may not choose your friends or the ones you think you should work with, BUT He will always choose the one that is right for the job.

So, how do you find success as a team? By letting the Master be your Guide.

On May 23, the first Seventh-day Adventist Church was inducted on Easter Island. Approximately 105 young people traveled from different parts of Chile to Easter Island (Rapa Nui) to support and to be part of the special inauguration.

The opening ceremony lasted about two hours. It was touching to be in a church built by seven teachers in a record time of two weeks! The church has a capacity for 50 people, but that day it was overflowing with more than 200, including those who were watching from outside.

Local officials attended the ceremony, as well as many administra-tors from the Chilean Union and Conferences. Otimar Goncalves, South American Youth Director, and Jonatan Tejel, World Pathfinder Director, also took part in this very important service.

The Easter Island church is special. Cecilia Maldonado, a Master Guide, went to live on Easter Island about three years ago and started working within the community. Little by little, she began working with the little children, the young people of the island, and their families, and formed a Pathfinder Club. The Pathfinders are the creators of this dream to build a Seventh-day Adventist Church. Pastor David Victoriano, Chile Union Youth Director, has worked tirelessly to do so and faced many obstacles along the way. But this was God’s project, and when God is in charge, nothing is impossible.

Despite many barriers, God worked many miracles until on May 21, the first Seventh-day Adventist® Church was completed, just two days before the opening ceremony.

God works though the Pathfinders to finish the work we are command-ed to do. This is a ministry of evangelism, no doubt about it. It is clear that our young people will finish the work set before them.

God has blessed the Pathfinder Ministry, and He is working through them. Another church has already been planted! I have no doubt that this ministry was created with Heaven’s blessings. Christ is at the fore-front of this mission.

Let’s not forget Acts 1:8 in which we are commanded to preach to the ends of the earth. God bless the Pathfinders and their ministry!

On January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake, a 7.0 on the Richter scale, rocked Port Au Prince, Haiti and its sur-roundings. More than 320,000 people lost their lives in this disaster; 560 were Seventh-day Adventist members, 450 of which were young people.

On June 3, the General Conference World Youth Leaders headed for Port Au Prince to show their love and support to the Seventh-day Adventist people of Haiti, particularly the young people. Bernardo Rodriguez, IAD Youth Director, together with Balvin Braham, his associate, and Wally Admunsons, IAD ADRA Director, joined us in Miami.

At the Toussaint Louverture International Airport, one hundred fifty Master Guides and Pathfinders were waiting to welcome us with a special ceremony, exchanging speeches and songs accompanied by trumpets.

On the way to the hotel we passed several areas with collapsed buildings and houses, a heart-rending scene, and in the evening we attended a meeting with all Mission and Union Youth Directors to discuss the programs for the week-end.

On Friday, we visited four SDA churches, three of which were demolished. In one church, six members had died in the earthquake. We also visited the Adventist Hospital, Adventist radio station, Adventist University and ADRA Head-quarters.

Currently, there are 5,000 families living in tents on property adjacent to the Haiti Union. Another 25,000 people live in tents at the Adventist University, creating many challenges--no classes for five months.

Hiskia Missah preached for the Consecration program in a temporary church built on what is left of the destroyed Morija Church, with 400 people in attendance. Many wanted to know: “Why did a good God allow such terrible suf-ferings to happen to His people?” The answer is in the Second Coming of Jesus.

On Sabbath, we visited the First SDA Church near the presidential palace in Port Au Prince. On January 12, 22 choir members were practicing their songs for the evangelistic meetings when the church collapsed and all of them per-ished. During our visit, almost 2,000 members attended the fully-packed temporary church tent.

In the afternoon, the first investiture service since the earthquake occurred was conducted. Eighty-nine Master Guides and 16 Senior Youth Leaders were invested. Jonatan Tejel was the speaker, explaining that Jesus can turn failures into successes and sorrows into joy. The program was very impressive; the Pathfinders marched and sang with enthusiasm. Most of the Pathfinders who performed the fancy drills lost their parents in the earthquake, but the program seemed to bring back some of the joy they have lost.

There are 1,500,000 people now living in tents or make-shift tents, and they are now facing another big problem—rains and hurricanes, which can cause landslides and flooding. Please keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts and prayers. We look forward to the great reunion with those who died but will live forever with Christ.
