We are told through scripture to “Trust in the

Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto

thine own understanding. In all thy ways

acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy

paths.”(Proverbs 3:5, 6)

At times it can be easier said than done.

How do we trust God with ALL of our heart

through the process of Sanctification?

Please Join us for a refreshing weekend of

revival and reformation as we study, learn,

and grow in grace together.

"We have the privilege of being directed by

a wise Counselor.

God can make humble men mighty in His

service. Those who obediently respond to the

call of duty, improving their abilities to the

very utmost, may be sure of receiving divine

assistance. Angels will come as messengers

of light to the help of those who will do all

that they can on their part, and then trust in

God to co-operate with their efforts." GW

Tell the World is a unique fully dramatized cinematic production which powerfully tells the story of the birth

and development of the early Advent movement. Shot on location it features an original musical score, and

a full cast of professional actors and film crew. In an effort to make the film as real as possible, all 170 pages

of the Tell the World script and the 200+ scenes were meticulously scrutinized for historical accuracy by three

of the church’s foremost historians—Dr. Alan Lindsay, Prof. George R. Knight and Dr. Jim Nix of the Ellen G

White Estate.

The conference for youth workers

by youth workers

Skit Guys Take Main Stage For the first time ever, The Skit Guys will not only perform at a Late-night, but they are

emceeing the entire conference! Get ready to laugh 'till it hurts, with the comedians who

get you.

Choose from more than 200 hours of in-depth

training that will fit the specific needs of your

youth ministry. When we say the learning is deeper, we really mean it. Here, you don’t just listen — you engage,

participate, question, challenge, and, most importantly, do. There’s not a fill-in-the-blank outline in

sight. When you’re here, you dive in head first. SYMC isn’t a conference that happens to you; it’s an

experience that can’t happen without you.

The Break Room is aimed at educating and bring-

ing awareness to different social issues in the com-

munity in order to empower individuals to make a

difference. A break room is typically a relaxed envi-

ronment where individuals congregate and have

down to earth discussions and that is the environ-

ment we want to create with this ministry.

12-in-12 spiritual discipline

book now has its own

website.

The 2010 12-in12 book introduced

young people and families to spir-

itual disciplines as a means of de-

veloping a closer relationship with God. Readers

were challenged to try 12 different spiritual disci-

plines in 12 months. The book was very popular,

and the 4000 copies have been exhausted.

The YM Department has taken the contents, ideas

and activates and added new challenges and put

them into the new website.

www.12-in-12.com

The new website allows you to monitor your pro-

gress, record your areas of growth and share com-

ments and ideas. The website can also send you

alerts and reminders so that you do not forget to

complete your challenges.

The web was built by Brandon Hurst, former UF stu-

dent and Adventist Campus Ministry vol-

unteer.

Later versions will include:

the ability to share your accomplish-

ments through social media.

You’ll also be able to complete chal-

lenges as a group.

You’ll be able to modify challenges to

meet your individual/group needs.

You’ll be able to set yourself up as a group ad-

ministrator and monitor your group’s progress

with shared challenges.

We are very excited about this new website and

the difference that it can make in the lives of

young people. We encourage you to register on

the site, and incorporate it in to your spiritual

growth plans.

Please send us your feedback.

How to Report Child Abuse/Neglect

Be prepared to provide specific descriptions of the incident(s) or the circumstances contributing to the risk of harm, including who was involved, what occurred, when and where it occurred, why it happened, the extent of any injuries sustained, what the victim(s) said happened, and any other pertinent information are very important. Information callers should have ready in-cludes:

Name, date of birth (or approximate age), race, and gender, for all adults and children involved.

Addresses or another means to locate the subjects of the report, including current location.

Information regarding disabilities and/or limitations of the victims (especially for vulnerable adult victims).

Other relevant information that would expedite an investigation, such as directions to the victim (especially in rural areas) and potential risks to the investigator, should be given to the Abuse Hotline Counselor.

Just want to check on each club after Hurricane Hermine. I think our entire area was touched by rain, wind, storm surge or a mixture of all. I pray all is well with each and every family in our ministry. If there is anything we can do to help please let us know. some may not have power yet, so when you are able to read this know that you have been prayed for. May God con-tinue to bless you and your families in all you do. Carol Barnett North Area Administrator Pathfinders

The Youth Department now has a radio station, albeit an online radio station. Ken

Grant, former Pathfinder North Zone A Administrator, is leading a team of young

people in the production and broadcast of radio programs. He is looking for others

to join the team. The great thing is that the station is licensed to have five different

broadcast locations, and so you do not have to be in North Florida to get involved,

you can live anywhere.

For more information about this new venture please contact Ken Grant by email at
