n the olden days, when Jerusalem was to be rebuilt, the prophet, in vision, heard one heavenly messenger saying to another, Run, speak to this young man. And so, in these days, the young men and young women of the advent movement have been given an important part to act in the closing drama of earth's history. We are to be Gods Helping hands in saving souls-channels which His love is day by day to flow to the perishing. Be steadfast-Stand for the right principles though the heavens fall, always abounding in the work of the Lord for your labor is not in vain. The Lord has appointed the youth to be His helping hand.-Testimonies for the Church, Vol. VII, p. 64. Fortunate is the man who starts out with his understanding of what matters most in life. But life is worth nothing unless we use it in the service of God. Have we so lived, that our Heavenly Father will dare to whisper: I have not died on the cross in vain. With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world! -Education, p. 271. God Bless Everyone!

AY MISSION: The salvation of youth through Jesus Christ. We understand youth ministry to be that work of the church that is conducted for, with, and by young people. AY AIM: The Advent message to all the world in my generation. AY MOTTO: The love of Christ constrains me. AY PLEDGE: Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part in the youth ministry of the church, doing what I can to help others and to finish the work of the Gospel in all the world.

Dear Beloved Youth Leaders, Warm greetings from the cool place of South New Zealand Conference! Christchurch New Zealand. Congratulations for having this great activity in relaunching and reclaiming your youth in your area. The Lord will surely give you strength and power as you lay plans for this great program. We are now living in these last days of earth's history. We need to commit ourselves and unite together to reclaim young people who are being enslaved by Satans illusion. Our Christian influence in leading them would really make a difference to their lives. As you meet together and make out plans for the success of your ministry, please allow the Holy spirit to guide you and lead you so your program would make young people more committed and involved in God's service. Just want to remind you of the five things needed as you convene together this weekend: 1. Relationship with God 2. Create a Vision 3. Selling the Vision 4. Pressing toward the goal 5. Lead by Example May this words will inspire you as you go on with your different youth activities. God bless Young People and more power. Yours in Christ's Service, Pastor Jezreel D. Locop & Family Past CPUC Youth Director

Two shoe salespeople were sent to Africa to open up new markets. Three days after arriving, one salesperson called the office and said, "Im returning on the next flight. Cant sell shoes here. Everybody goes barefoot. At the same time the other salesperson sent an email to the factory, telling "The prospects are unlimited. Nobody wears shoes here!" unknown. Our prospects for heaven are unlimited. The harvest is great in MOISSA. and he said to them, The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Luke 10:2. We have a good number of youth in MOISSA but how many are laborers in the harvest? Let us therefore pray for these young people that they may be trained because with such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Savior might be carried to the whole world! (Education, p. 271) We have an underutilized army. No wonder many of our youth are slipping through the church back door and are found in the market place of the worldly pleasures. It is our burden to reclaim these youth. Unless we work for God, we are really doing nothing worthwhile on earth. About the eleventh hour (last days) he went out into the market place and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing? ''No one has hired us,' they answered him. "He said to them, 'go and work in my vineyard. Matt 20:6, 7. How many of our young people are idle because they were not hired (trained) and challenged to work for God? We are now at the eleventh hour and we do not want to be seen standing idle when King Jesus the Saviors coming back. Worldly success and pleasures are only but a short time. By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaohs daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. Hebrews 11:24-25. I invite the church leaders, parents and conference youth administrators to train and challenged our young people and generously support their projects and re-launch the youth ministry in every local church. Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. (1Tim 6:17-19) As we work together, let us bear in mind that we are co-laborers with God and if God be with us, who can be against us? Therefore my fellow young people, aim high, catch a vision and together with God and our Parents; let us build not a dream, but a reality. May we do it now!

In His Service, Benjie Hornales

MOISSA Adventist Youth Society Projects

The 7 GLOBAL STRATEGIC THEMES & EMPHASES 2006 2010 developed by the General Conference Youth Ministry Department are adopted by the MOISSA AYS as projects starting 2010 and onwards to reclaim our youth and re-launch our Youth Ministry.

1. The MOISSA AYS in collaboration with The Center for Global Evangelism, the Sabbath School/Personal Ministries department and Adventist Laymens Services and Industries (ASI) will continue to finance, inspire, involve and support the youth in the presentation of a full scale, Christ-centered, doctrinal evangelistic series. This highly ambitious program is known as the Elijah Project. MOISSA Youth with the assistance of the local churches, will organize themselves, receive training by the Youth and Personal Ministries directors, be equipped and form evangelistic teams. The Elijah Project is to affirm the youth in their faith, and give them the opportunity to participate in a way that will bring other young people to Christ and the church, as well as consolidate those in the church.
Budget: Estimated at 7,000 PhP (Transportation, Snacks, and logistics) Date: TBA

2. The MOISSA Youth firmly believes that prayer is one of the most powerful communication bond, with God that exist in the life of a Christian and it must be reinforced, motivated and done more often. groups, Adventurers, Pathfinders, and Ambassadors will hold Prayer Conferences annually (hold week of prayer). -Make young people rediscover the book of Psalms as Israels special prayer book in the Old Testament. The psalms are prayers in the form of songs. (hold music festival using scripture songs) -Budget: - Handouts, snacks and logistics (Week of Prayer) Estimate: 2000 PhP -Decoration, logistics and snacks (Music Festival) Estimate: 3000 PhP -Dates: TBA *Budget may vary depending on local church AYS 5
-Youth

3. The General Conference Youth Ministries Department firmly believes in the need of facing the challenge of looking for and reclaiming the lost. We have always been attentive to and cared about young people that are born in families already in the church; but they are leaving the church like water between our fingers. The Gospel of Luke, chapter 15, shows us how Christ, as the Good Shepherd, looks for His lost sheep until it is found; while leaving the other 99 in a safe place. -Create an extensive list of all the young people registered in your AYS group and find out who is actually attending and who is not. If its not possible to get a complete list, use the names you have and then ask the young people of your church for names and addresses of their friends that used to come, but no longer attend church. Assign someone to work with the missing members when you make contact. -Have an annual Re-Encounter program, spanning three months, culminating in a Homecoming Sabbath celebration. Start a Prayer list for all inactive youth. -Call young people who are not attending and invite them to social activities. Give them time to decide. If you have called them once, twice or even three times and they do not respond do not be discouraged, try again. -Start group visits. If possible have the meetings in the homes of the missing young people. The pastor and the friends of the missing youth play a very important role in winning them back. Invite friends to accompany you on these visits. -Hold an annual District-wide Homecoming Sabbath where the whole program is specifically arranged with the returning youth in mind. This should be held in all churches on the same date. -Organize a Youth Mentoring program. Each returning young person should be linked with an established believer who can encourage them. Prepare a Youth Mentoring Manual. -Educate the church so that they can be friendly and warm towards the returning young people. Allow the young people space to grow and develop in their Christian experience. -Help returning young people to become involved in the life of the church. If possible link them with a youth small group. Budget*: Social Night (snacks and prizes) 1000 PhP Homecoming Sabbath (lunch) Estimate : 1000 PhP Dates: TBA *Budget may vary depending on local church AYS

4. The MOISSA AYS is aware of the necessity of a special training aimed at our AY leaders. We believe that working with the youth is a marvelous challenge, and an excellent opportunity for us to influence and lead young people to a fuller and richer experience with Christ. We further believe that provision should be made that will help train and equip our youth leaders to deal with some of these challenges. -Conduct AY leaders training. Budget: Handouts (500 per church): 4,500 PhP (9 churches) Date: On May if possible.

5. The General Conference Youth Ministries Department recognizes the challenge of the huge presence of Adventist youth, and that the need to keep them both engaged and spiritually alive is a top priority for youth ministry. -Develop materials to assist Pastor and Youth Leaders as they minister to youth: Resources Pastors and Elders Handbook, Empowering Youth, AY Story and Pathfinder Story, Youth Ministry Handbook -Encourage each church to establish Adventurer Club, Pathfinder Club, Ambassador [club] and Young adult ministries to serve as discipleship centers for youth: Resources Youth Leadership Award Manual, Ambassador Manual -Encourage each local church to have their own library for youth.
Budget: 500 per church (estimate 4,500 PhP for 9 churches) for books and printing. Book Shelf (estimate 1,000-3,000 per church but depends on local AYS) Date: ASAP on Books, TBA for Bookshelf.

6. The General Conference Youth Ministries Department will work together with

administration, pastors, educators and ministers throughout the world church to promote Youth Involvement in all aspects of church life. -Make the document YouthFirst available to every administrator, pastor, educator, minister and youth leader. -Church Administrators to provide opportunity for youth to be included as delegates to committees. -Develop training programs for Youth Leadership development. - At all levels develop a talent bank of youth leaders/youth and their skills, interests and abilities, then invite them to participate in services and other activities.

7. The General Conference Youth Ministries Department will embrace service as a way for our youth to implement a consistent commitment to minister to the needs of others. Young people in every church will be encouraged to share hope to the communities in which they live. -Position Adventist Youth as a well known serving group of people in the community. Serve others through a ministry of in-reach and out-reach evangelism. -The church must accept the challenge of providing financial and other assistance to help young people to carry out the ministry of helping others.
Budget and date depends on local church AYS.

Canjulao Holds Its Second Baccalaureate Service

by Jennifer Canilao

Canjulao Graduating Students conducted their second Baccalaureate Service and Tribute to Parents at Canjulao SDA Church last March 20,2010 with its theme: Ciel-Bondessez, a Spanish Translation of Heaven-Bound with motto: The Knowledge of the Scripture is worth more than a College Education. The entire Sabbath was exclusively sponsored by all graduating students from college down to pre-school. During the Sabbath School Program, the graduates performed a playlet entitled Life at School which featured how students struggled to live out their faith in God so to speak the challenges they are facing in their everyday life at school. The said event was graced by the presence of our MOISSA District Leader Pastor Romeo Illustrisimo, who delivered his godly message to the graduates. He emphasized the steps to the ladder of success. First, knowledge of the scripture is the foundation of all the knowledge which will enable us to become a better and successful individual. Second, to be great and successful, one should recognize God as the wellspring of blessings and source of everything. He also apportioned to the graduates his views and outlook regarding success in profession based on Biblical Principles. At 4:00 pm, the program continued by giving acknowledgement to parents and guardians who in one way or another have the biggest influence of what the graduates have become and accomplished. All graduates sang melodiously as they gave their deepest and warmest thanks to their parents. The program was followed by reading the letters of Wishes and Thanks from the graduates to their parents. It was narrated by the amiable and enthusiastic peerage who called themselves D Chorus. Strong feelings of emotion burst out into tears which shattered the sentiments of the whole congregation. The graduates letters touched the parents heart deeply that reached far into the core part of their senses. It was the moment of mixed feelings. Parents were so overwhelmed with the love that their children have demonstrated. The program ended with misty-eyes and happiness among parents and brethren.

Pathfinder Camping Activity by Dianne Tagubar (Best Camper)

August 21-23, 2009 is the date to be etched in the history of Canjulao Church. The Canjulao pathfinder club held a camp out for the little leaders who will hugely lead someday. The camping was held at the exquisite site of Canjulao Church. All pathfinder campers manifested great joy and excitement as they pitched their tents and prepared dinner but oh! where are the knives and chopping boards? Nabilin sa balay EXCITED man gud! Nevertheless it never hindered us from having a very delicious meal. The sun set, and it was time for the scheduled evening activities when disruptions started. The tiny raindrops fell, and turned into heavy rain. It is indeed good to check the weather forecast, one camper sighed. All of us were unprepared because we did not expect it to happen that night. The big problem was that the water eventually satiated our tents which caused our baggage, wet. Some of the campers evacuated the campsite and went to the church which is just a walking distance from the site. Our Pathfinder leader told us to pray for a clear and dry evening the next day. And sure enough when the next day came, God answered our prayers with a sign of a rainbow.

Rainy Evening Social Night Gods Answered our Prayer: The Rainbow
When we were instructed how to prepare our breakfast, Nakaka schocking kaayo ang gulay gipabukal lang ug gibutangan ug asin kan-on na dayon everyone was shock because it was their first time to ate such simple meal. During the evening we were able to enjoy the rainless night with social party. It was so much fun. Uber afoy ayo oi (Over kapoy kayo oi) that is why some of the campers spent their AY program sleeping. Others were doing their banners and practiced the different types of knot tying and pancake flipping. That was indeed, a very exciting, knowledge loaded and fun filled activity. Campers Comments and Testimonials: Marjorie : Happy ko kay daghan ko ug nakat-unan ug lingaw pod. Ericka: Malipayon ko kay daghan mi nakat-unan ilabina ang knot tying Chen-chen: Enjoy ang camping kay didto ko ga celebrate sa ako birthday. Dimple: Happy ko kay enjoy au oihahaha!

Weljane: Enjoy ko, tungod nindot ug daghan ko nakat-onan labi na ang different types of knot tying.

Master Guides continue to guide

by Queenie Ashly U. Ocariza A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better. -Jim Rohn2009 is a muddy year for almost 20 Masterguide Aspirants, as they crawled through the mud while cooking, eating, and in acquiring skills as part of their training. the said event was spearheaded by MG Director Rey Illustrisimo and Master Guide Deputy Director Edger Casio of Humay-humay Church. 12

It was a fun-filled activity for us aspirants as we underwent a rigid training for one ultimate goal-To be invested as Master Guide. We acquired skills on Swimming, Cooking, Knot Tying, and First Aid. The training was even more exciting when we had our spelunking and mountaineering at the Cambinocot, Paril, Talamban and Mt. Manunggal, Balamban, Cebu, respectively. Heres a few pics for you to peep on

Albeit, the training wont be complete without the presence of Pastor Romeo Illustrisimo. Congratulations everyone for an exemplary performance!

Ellen G. White Counsel:

Letters to Young Lovers by Ellen G. White Our Heavenly Father is concerned over our love-life. Through the inspired writings of scripture and of Ellen G. White, God has given counsels to young people in their quest for happiness. 1. Marriage -- a Foretaste of Heaven The warmth of true friendship and the love that binds the hearts of husband and wife are a foretaste of heaven. God has ordained that there should be perfect love and perfect harmony between those who enter into the marriage relation. 2. Finding the Right Mate Be Practical Before assuming the responsibilities involved in marriage, young men and young women should have such an experience in practical life as will prepare them for its duties and its burdens. Since both men and women have a part in homemaking, boys as well as girls should gain a knowledge of household duties. 3. Is It Really Love? Is it True Love? True love is a high and holy principle, altogether different in character from that love which is awakened by impulse and which suddenly dies when severely tested. Love, A Tender Plant Love is a plant of heavenly growth, and it must be fostered and nourished. Affectionate hearts, truthful, loving words, will make happy families and exert an elevating influence upon all who come within the sphere of their influence. When real life comes in with its troubles and cares, they are wholly unprepared to meet them. They expect in each other perfection, but find weakness and defects; for finite men and women are not faultless. Then they begin to find fault with each other, and to express their disappointment. Instead of this, they should try to help each other, and should seek practical godliness to help them to fight the battle of life valiantly. "Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen" (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 Phillips)

WE COME, WE SEE, WE CONQUER: MT. TALINIS EXPEDITON by Lester Cuizon Last April 1 4, 2010; the L.A.M.B (Lapu-lapu Adventist Mountaineers and Bikers) headed by Engr. Lito Caro, went to conquer the well acclaimed Mt. Talinis at Dumaguete City. The group composed of 11 guys and 9 gals, most of which are first time climbers. We left Lapu-Lapu City on March 30, 2010 at 9 in the morning to the port of Liloan Santander. The group spent the first night at Camabe bunk house, the official campsite for climbers. On Thursday, Apirl 1, the group started their ascent around 8 in the morning which took us 4 hrs to reach the first pit stop. We had our break at Yagumyum lake , a stagnant lake but has an awesome view which reminded us of Gods handiwork. Afterwards the group walked another 4 hours to reach the campsite Nailig lake, which is situated in the middle of the towering mountains for a night slumber. The lake served as our water source. When night came, the place was covered by a thick fog which made us hardly see the surroundings. April 2 another day of walking, the group left Nailig camp around 9 am to go to the next camp site which took us 4 more hours of walking and sliding since the trail was going down and arrived at the campsite known as the Ranch, where we immediately went swimming in the fresh and cool water of the twin falls. After the tiring walk, we took some time to thank God during the vesper worship which was led by yours truly. April 3, after the morning worship the group left the camp to continue their journey... going home, which took us another 5 hrs before arriving at the pick-up point. The group went home full of different experiences, stories and tales to tell but most importantly they were able to see Gods beautiful creation and how wonderful the world is. Till next year!!! come one come all!!!

by Queenie Ashly U. Ocariza

JAIL MINISTRY

For almost a decade now, Atty. Enerio N. Ocariza still continue the ministry visiting inmates at Soong City Jail, Lapu-lapu city. As invested Master Guides, we opted in Humay-humay church, to utilize our skills by serving our brothers and sisters

whom had long been disregarded by the community We sing songs to them every Sabbath and share inspiring messages that will surely uplift their downcast spirit. This is what God has entrusted to all of us to prepare ourselves and others for the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

LEPROSARIUM MINISTRY Part of our ministry is the visitation of our brethren afflicted with leprosy at Eversley, Consolacion, Cebu. Gleeful spirit showed to their eyes as we shared the good news of salvation and love. TRACKS DISTRIBUTION Giving tracks along the urban places, markets, towns, churches, provinces, wherever and to whoever we come in contact with, is a fulfilling one. You will surely feel good taking part in the ministry of God.

Central Visayan Conference Pathfinder Bible Achievement

by Vivitzgrace T. Resabal

November 14, 2009 marked the 4th Pathfinder Bible Achievement (PBA) held at Maguikay SDA church, which was participated by a huge number of individuals from the four participating church-based Pathfinder clubs, namely Basak, Canjulao, Cordova and Maguikay. From the said participating clubs, there were 6 Adventurer teams, 7 Pathfinder teams and 7 Master Guide teams who took part in the challenge of answering the questions from the selected SDA Fundamental Doctrines that have been assigned to them. The event was graced by the presence of our ever supportive CPUC Youth Director, Pastor Jezreel Lucop, who opened the event by giving a very inspiring message to everyone. Furthermore, the program will not be complete without the presence of our District Leader, Pastor Romeo Illustrisimo, who showed support by acting as one of the board of judges.

Although Pastor Don Barcenas, NCCDAC district leader, was not around, he never missed the event by sending his wife, Mrs. Bebelita Barcenas. Moreover, a guest team from Humay-humay PF club joined the fun and excitement of this annual event. PBA is an event open to all pathfinder clubs which was developed in 1987 by Elder Terry Dodge, who was at the time was pastor of the 7th-day Adventist church in Sheridan, Wyoming. This is an annual event, wherein each year, the pathfinders will study a certain book or section of the Bible. Since they will be working together as a team, they will experience teamwork and fun while studying the Bible. In 2007, Cordova Masterguide Club adopted this program and opened it to both Adventurers (ages 6-9) and Pathfinders (ages 10-15) but still carried the title of the program, which is Pathfinder Bible Achievement. Consequently, the first PBA was held at Maguikay Church last November 10, 2007. The program was a success. Thus in the following year (2008), the organizers endeavored to conduct it twice a year.

17

Thus, the 2nd and 3rd PBA was conducted last May 24, 2008 & November 15, 2008 respectively. Furthermore, due to the request of the young people, it was in the 3rd PBA when the organizers decided to add another category for the Master Guides ages 16-25. However, due to some budget constraints, in 2009 the organizers decided to run the PBA, just once a year. To have a peek view of the Past PBAs, take a look at the following summary

It is the ultimate goal of PBA that each participant will be drawn closer to Jesus through Bible Study. Thus, we are inviting all churches to form a team of 6 members each for the adventurers, pathfinders and master guide levels and be ready for the next PBA event this year which will be sponsored by the Basak Pathfinder Club this coming November 2010. 18

MOISSA Youth Society: A Call for Service News and Updates

by Jasper Mantos The First Encounter: It was last March 20, 2010 at Canjulao Church about 2:00 P.M. that the zealous young people of MOISSA met. The thought of having a few attendees was turned into a misapprehension, when 40 active young men and women arrived severally. The attendance was comprised of A.Y. leaders and Youth Elders who are ready for the call of service. Aside from the young people who are enthusiastic to take part, the meeting was also graced by the presence of Pastor Romeo Illustrisimo (MOISSA District Pastor) and some Elders of Canjulao church. The following are the agenda that were discussed during the meeting: 1. Nomination of Officers, 2. MOISSA AYS Regular Meetings, 3. Source of Funds and 4.Leadership Training Seminar.

The church is languishing for the help of young men who will bear a courageous testimony, who will with their ardent zeal stir up the sluggish energies of Gods people, and so increase the power of the church in the world
(Message to Young People, p. 25).

Regular meeting is held bimonthly, third Saturday at 2.P.M. to 4 P.M. The venue depends upon the Chairmans prerogative. The body agreed that each church will contribute a fixed amount every month as a means of raising funds. The Leadership Training is on the stage of planning. It will be scheduled after the association. The First EXECOM Meeting: The first Executive Committee Meeting was held last March 26, 2010 at Enjoy Learning Center (ELC) SDA Church; 7:00 oclock in the evening. There were 17 officers and selected invitees present. The following were the agenda discussed during the meeting: 1. Induction of Officers 2. Amendmenst and Approval of the Minutes of the Meeting 3. Leadership Training, 4. Youth Camp in Olanggo during the Association and 5. MOISSA Youth Society Newsletter. The Induction of Officers will be taken place in Olanggo Church during the association on April 24, 2010. There were minor amendments of the Minutes of the Meeting and so it was voted and carried. Suggestions and discussions were accommodated regarding the Leadership Training but the date has not decided yet due to several considerations. 19

A youth camp will be organized this association in Olanggo , which will start from Friday and ends on Sunday. MOISSA Youth Society will be distributing its official newsletter spearheaded by Ms. Grace Hornales an active youth leader of Canjulao Church. The Second EXECOM Meeting; The second Executive Committee Meeting was held last April 16, 2010 at Enjoy Learning Center (ELC) SDA Church at about 7:00 P.M. There were 25 officers together with invitees. The following were discussed during the meeting 1. MOISSA AYS Association Program and 2. MOISSA AYS Newsletter. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 in the evening with a picture taking. They [the youth] can form themselves into bands to do Christian help work. . . .They will find many opportunities to use the talent that God has given them in carrying melody and sunshine into many lonely places darkened by sorrow and affliction, singing to those who seldom have church privileges (Counsels to Teachers, p. 547).

The enemy will not prevail against youth who are actively engaged in the things of God. That the youth may work for: Other youth Their church Their fellow men This triple purpose that God has outlined for His youth is really the second part of the objective presented in a practical sense: Guide into Service. From the time youth missionary work first began, this triple purpose has been put into practice. The goal is to save each Adventist youth who faces the battle against sin, striving to rescue more and more souls for the kingdom of God. In 1947 the dynamic slogan Share your Faith brought new emphasis to soul-winning around the world. That the youth may work for other youth. Educate the youth to help the youth; and in seeking to do this work each will gain experience that will qualify him to become a consecrated worker in a larger sphere (Messages to Young People, p. 208).

Pathfinder Leadership Conference 2009

By Vivitzgrace Resabal

Several Pathfinders, Master Guides and MG Trainees from Basak, Canjulao, Cordova, Maguikay, Cebu and Humay-Humay convened last October 16-18, 2009 in Camp Marina Boy Scouts Grounds, Capitol Hills for the Pathfinder Leadership Conference 2009 with a theme Keep the Flame Alive. This conference aimed at giving basic staff training to the campers to prepare them to become effective pathfinder leaders in their respective churches and to help them understand the difference between school based and church based Pathfindering. No less than the CPUC Youth director, Pastor Jezreel Locop, gave the message during the opening night on Friday, October 16. On Sabbath morning at 4:30am, camp deputy directors MG Grace Hornales, MG Jovelyn Bontoyan, MG Adelyn Padilla and MG Jenevic Canilao, led the campers to a small hill, a little bit away from the camp site for the morning devotional. The dawn worship was sponsored by the Maguikay campers. After all of the campers were energized in the Song, Drama and Nature Hike led by the deputy directors, Pastor Romy Illustrisimo, MOISSA district leader, enlightened them with the summary of the Sabbath School lesson. Moreover, Dr Isaias Guisando, CVC Education Director, discussed about the Club Discipline and Pastor Jun Samson, CVC Youth Director, discussed about the AY Ministry. After all the lectures, a dynamic open forum entitled Lets Talk followed, which was moderated by MG Miraflor Matugas and MG Genevic Canilao. It was the best time when all the campers were able to voice out their concerns on issues related to leading their fellow young people in the church. MGT Virjie Hornales demonstrated Puto Making, MG Willie Joy Jumawid also showed how to make an inexpensive ultra light camp stove and MG Adilyn Padilla demonstrated how to make a camp pancake. MG Lito Caro lectured on Backpacking to give the campers some fundamental ideas on how to prepare a backpack for an outdoor activity (e.g hiking, mountain climbing, camping). After the team building activities, nobody dared to miss the wall rapelling adventure which was really an exciting but high-risk activity. But praise God, nobody got hurt in it. Even the oldest among the Master Guides, MG Jean Sarong successfully hurdled this challenge. In addition, the Slide for Life was equally thrilling. And these activities were really made possible with the help of MG Lito Caro who patiently took the lead and generously shared all of his equipment. Concurrently, some of the campers also went swimming in the pool with MG Willy Joy Jumawid giving them some basic tips on swimming. Finally, the camp was called to a break at around 3pm by MG Benjie Hornales. And all the praises and glory be unto our Almighty God for the success of this Pathfinder Conference. Until next! 21

My Friend My Friend, I stand in the judgment now And I feel that you are to be blame somehow, On earth I walk with you day by day, Never, never did you point the way! You know the Lord in truth and glory But never did you tell me the story My knowledge then of God was very dim, You could have led me safely to Him Though we live together on earth You never told me the second birth And now I stand here condemned Because you failed to mention Him. You taught me many things thats true I called you my friend and I trusted you. But I learn now that its too late, You could have save me from this lake. We walked by day and we talked by night And yet you showed me not the light. You let me live and love and die, And yet you knew Ill never live on high. I called you my friend in life I trusted you through joy and strife Uncaring that I fall into this horrible lake Must I still call you My Friend? Why , oh! why? Were you ashamed to tell me That Jesus Christ is the way to heaven and eternal life? You discussed with me so many subjects under the sun But the thing I needed to know you failed to tell me? Now, as I suffer the ignominy and pain of hell-fire You are up there with Father Abraham Enjoying the blessing of Beulah Land! You call this friendship? You calls this love? -Anonymous-

SOMETIMES WITHOUT HIM IS ENOUGH SOMETIMES IN YOUR LIFE YOU FIND IT HARD TO SLEEP AT NIGHT YOU THINK OF HIM AND THE PAST SO CLEAR IT FLASHES BACK THE MEMORIES THAT YOUVE HAD YOU TRY TO FORGET HIM BUT HIS PRESENCE STILL LINGERING SOMEWHERE IN YOUR LIFE YOU COME TO THE POINT OF REMINISHING HIS FIRST HI! WITH A SWEET SMILE AND IT ENDS WITH A SAD GOODBYE ALTHOUGH IT HURTS A LOT BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HIS LOVE WONT LAST SOMEHOW IN YOUR LIFE YOU MUST LEARN THE GAME OF LOVE ITS TIME TO MOVE ON AND SAVE THOSE TEARS YOU HAVE TO LET HIM GO AND START TO PAINT A NEW LIFE WITH A RAINBOW.

Healthy Lifestyle to the Max: Summit

by Margie H. Varga April 9 to 11 , 2010, Cebu Visayan Conference and Central Philippine Union Conference Health Department, with the leadership of Pastor Lemuel Escamos and Pastor Charles Nogra, in cooperation with the Department of Health, successfully launched a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE to the MAX SUMMIT at the East Visayan Academy Gymnasium which was participated by more than 300 delegates coming from Cebu and neighboring islands and 50 young volunteers from different churches who tremendously took part in assisting the food preparation under the supervision of the HELP President, Cecile Yap, who had tendered her active participation in this event. These Young volunteers are Master Guides coming from Canjulao Church predominately, and others from Maguikay and Humay-humay churches. A series of Health Lectures was imparted to us from a renowned Health Crusaders around the Philippines spearheaded by Dr. Tam Mateo of ABS-CBN Salamat Doc together with Mr. Pacifico Eresmas and company. We were blessed with a very inspiring information about how Vitamin C works in our body by a recognized Filipino Scientist and a Professor of Biochemistry at Mountain View College, Dr. Jose Oclarit. The Summit started with a Medical Mission: Operation Tuli and Medical Check ups and ended with a pap smear procedure, with the participation of the Physicians and Nurses from our very own H.W. Miller Memorial Sanitarium and Hospital. This seminar was made, in giving new impetus towards healthy lifestyle among the Seventh-Day Adventist Church members who profess to be the healthiest people on earth. The question is, Are we really true to what we eat?. Hopefully this made us realize that our body is the temple of God of which we must give an extra care. With this horrifying yet very informative lectures from our Health Crusaders, it is our earnest prayer that we may feed our body the food which God has designed for us.

OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

by Edna Linao Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future. After I graduated from college, I asked myself, What should I do with my life?, Wondering which road to take? Then, I remembered the promise in Jeremiah 29:11 and realized Gods plan in my life. Ephesians 2:7 simply explains that He wants to pour out His far and beyond favor on me. I find courage to do more, to do bigger and serve the Most High because He promises that His dream for my life is much bigger and better than I can imagine. I started applying for a job and was happy to land one, yet the orientation falls on Sabbath Day. The principal couldnt excuse me so I talked to the president of the school and told him that I am a Seventh - day Adventist and explained to him that Saturday is a special day because it is holy. I told him that it is a big NO for me to work on Saturday. He did not consider my belief and told me that I cannot attain success for what I am standing for. I declined the job and I cast all my worries upon Him. I do not want to exchange my Sabbath for anything else and I do not want to break my special relationship to God. I talked to God and hold my faith on Him and claimed His promise in Jeremiah 29:11. A week after, another school called me for an interview and hired me without compromising my Sabbath. A couple of years passed, my friend, Vivitz Resabal (ate vitz), my classmate in Cordova Master Guide training program, invited me to sing to her cousins evangelistic meeting in Dumaguete for weekends. I met her cousin, Girlie Zunega, a missionary in Korea for three years. I met her again circumstantially, in Tagaytay City and both of us that time were teaching ESL in different schools. Several months after, I got a call for an interview from Saipan SDA School where Girlie Zunega got a job there after teaching ESL . Fortunately, their school was looking for a teacher and Ate Vitz and Kuya Luna Casio, an accountant of CPUC recommended me to Girlie. I was considered for the job and got a slot. I dont know about Saipan then and when I looked at the map it is just a small dot. Saipan is an island of US territory; it is an island of the thieves; a historical island. When I arrived in Saipan, I saw a big mission for me. We have four churches, a Korean Church, Central Church, Filipino Church and Local Church. Local Church is a church where the people from the island worship. They speak 2 dialects: Chamorro and Carolinian. Some of them are kinky hair, short and chew betel nut and spit all the time. 24

there are only few of us youth who are active in the church activities and most of us are working in school. We dedicate our lives to God. We allow Him to use us in His work and we use our talents in His service. We pray to God to give us strength as we work together in the island. We do House visitation, Bible study, sing songs and pray for them, branch Sabbath School, health expo, hospital visitation and evangelistic meetings. We experienced public shooting and people were dead and injured, stealing and breaking (akyat-bahay) of the houses in the teachers compound. Teachers laptops were stolen except mine and Girlies. One of our teachers got physical harassed and almost got killed. Despite of the challenges, we still claim the promise of God in Romans 8:3139. He is bigger than all our problems; bigger than all of our fears; bigger than any mountain that we can see; bigger than all our questions and bigger than anything else in this world. Indeed, Our God is an awesome God! Praise God! Saipan has 2 pathfinder clubs now with 21 members in Central Church and 15 members in Local Church. We meet every Sunday for Pathfinder drilling and in gaining honors. We have afternoon outreach every Sabbath, Bible achievement and amazing facts adventures for kids evangelistic meeting. God is so wonderful! He has a great love for us. He is with us from day to day and He is our constant friend. We have to trust and serve Him fully. Lets keep our eyes looking unto Him and hasten His work for Jesus is coming very soon! A lot of youth are actively participating in every church activity. As I look back, I remembered all my thoughts after I graduated in college. This is what I want in my life. God led me to this road. I am on the mission for Christ. We also have the Life's purpose mission and that is "To reach out and prepare ourselves and others for eternal life". Jesus is the Only Way. Always remember that God is already there. Wherever you are and wherever you are. He is right there beside you seeing and knowing. He already knows whats behind, now, and lies ahead of us. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Our God is an awesome God!!!!

This is a survey conducted among SDA young people regarding the observance of Sabbath and their Conviction towards this long been stepped issuelisten as they SPEAKS!

The QUESTION: If you have classes, exams, work and other endeavors which falls on the Sabbath Day would you go for it or stand for your faith? The ANSWERS:
No. Because Sabbath day is the most important day of the week. It reminds us of our Creator who created the world and this is the special day where we can worship Him and have fellowship with our brethren. ---Julimar Repolidon,18

I will prefer to go to church because it's more important compared to the activities in school. Even though I will miss that certain activity in school, Il make it up to myself by praising God , growing and enhancing my faith in Him physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. ---Geraldine Repolidon,16

I don't go to school during Sabbath Days since when I was in elementary and until I graduated in High School. ---Junalyn Saniban,18
No. Because I know what Sabbath is and one thing, my parents won't permit me for they know that Sabbath is a holy day. ---Mae Ann Piquero,13

No. Because the knowledge of every person comes from God even the knowledge of my teachers so it would be great spending the Sabbath with the Giver of it. I always go to church every Saturday even if we have regular classes. ---Elma Grace Soco, 13
When my boss told me to report for work on Saturday, unwaveringly I said NO. It is the most sacred day for me and my God. -Juvelyn Bontuyan, 20

Sa among school ang among Principal nagsugo na mo eskwela mi ug Sabado. Nakulbaan Kaayo ko! Kay mosimba gud ko every Sabbath Day. Ang dili mo eskwela ug Sabado dili kapasar ingon sa among principal. Nagduhaduha kaayo ko apan nagpatigbabaw ang akong gugma sa Ginoo. Ug nakahuna-huna dayon ko sa gisulti sa among masterguide Love God Above All ug wala jud ko mo eskwela. Gipatawag ko sa principal ug gihatag nko ang akong rason dayon miingon ang among principal na dili nami mo eskwela ug Sabado. God is Good All the Time! - Mark James Matugas, 12 Do not compromise the Sabbath Day to anything else in this world. In fact , what good it is when you gain the whole world yet losses your own soul? Be FIRM, STAND For what is right, for your reward is GREAT-Eternal Life. Remember, we are the sons and daughters of the one who owns the world, how could He forsake us? - GBH, 29 I used to work on Sabbath before, but it doesnt give me peace and I constantly like chasing lucks and blessings just dont get in. So I renew my vow to God not to defile myself from breaking the Sabbath again. Now I have a good work and mirthfully serving God. The Change is ours to make. Change na, Now na! - Jenpaul, 29
Finishing school is an ultimate goal for every child. NO Attendance on Saturday, No Marching! My teacher, gulped. When I heard her voice, I firmly stood to my faith and decided to gonot in school but in church. I still graduated.

-Nelly Joy Buntuyan, 18

When a prominent engineer asked me to work in a very renowned and productive steel company, I was excited and interested. I told myself, at last I can have now a good reason to give my family and children a promising future. But when he told me, Agwantaha lang sa ang usa ka bulan trabahu-e lang sa ang Sabado, total maregular ka maka request nka ug Saturday off, without a second thought, I refused the offer. Now my children have their own stable jobs and they are earning well. God is the wellspring of blessings!Just be faithful and you will receive the good things you never thought you could have. RBH, 51 27

Raising Vegan Kids

by Dr. Tam Mateo How to Raise a Vegan Child Most families have been raised to incorporate meat into everyday meals. This increased adaptation to a meaty diet raises multiple health concerns like heart conditions, high blood pressure and many others. In order to curb this trend, teaching kids to eat vegetables is a must. Here are some tips how to raise a vegan child. Start them Young Starting kids at a very young age lets them appreciate a vegan diet leading them to embrace the vegan lifestyle even when they grow old. Share your Appetite for Life Kids dislike the taste of vegetables mainly because they emulate how their parents dislike it. Showing them by example that you like vegetables, they too will share your appetite for life. Reinforced Positivity Reward your children and acknowledge their vegan efforts to uplift the image of eating vegetables and the ideals of a vegan lifestyle. Personal Story of Raising Vegan Kids Mrs. Aida Mateo Mother of 2 I was raised in a Chinese family where the table is wet with five to six viands per meal, excluding our merienda. When I went to the United States and met my husband, Dr. Tam we have been engrossed with our work and business, that had to be finished each day, we didnt have time to cook our own food. So we would eat out in restaurants. Our business succeeded, but my health suffered. I was stricken with cancer. My heart fell when I found out about my case. It was then that we turned to our Great Healer. I prayed for help. The Lord answered as my husband became the First Filipino Naturopathic Doctor. We followed the Lords way of healing the Natural way. And by Gods grace, I survived. After the miracles, I vowed to serve the Lord. And the Lord gave me a bonus my two lovely daughters. But for now, this isnt about my healing it is about the gift entrusted to mothers from heaven, how I raised my kids Vegan! 28

My youngest Tammy eats raw salad and so as not to adulterate her taste, we do not add any unnecessary salt, sugar or oil in her diet. We also abstain from eating rice or bread. Instead, she eats saba (A variety of banana), camote (sweet potato), or corn, When we go out I bring all our food to make sure that all she eats are natural. Ive raised them early on a vegan diet, because I myself am a vegan. I explain to my children, the benefits of having this kind of diet, so when they are with different people, they will not be tempted to stray from natural food. Parents should start this practice and set an example for their children to follow. You must eat healthy and natural food, so you can motivate your children to do the same. If ampalaya (bitter melon) is bitter to your taste, eat it like its the best tasting vegetable around and show them you liked it. Our children will enjoy eating what you, as parents, like to eat.

HEALTHY LIVING and WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM the NATURAL WAY!

By Cecile Yap April 2009, I went to my Doctor at Perpetual Succor Hospital in Cebu City because I felt a pain in my ankle, I was weak and I was gasping for air! I knew I was obese but I didn't bother to know how much I weighed. In the clinic, I was so shocked to find out that I weighed 187 pounds! My Doctor told me to have my cholesterol level and blood sugar tested at High Precision.

1 Cor. 10:31 - Wether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. DRUGS ONLY TREAT SYMPTOMS, NOT CAUSES

The results made me to decide that I really had to change my lifestyle if I wanted to live longer! I was so afraid. I ask my husband Ramon what I will do because, I was so afraid of my health! He told me do something! This was when I became suspicious and jealous, I felt insecure. Then I prayed day and night asking help from Jesus Christ. A few days later, I read an ad in the newspaper about a Slimming Center that provided services for a big price. I was hesitant to try because it was too expensive but when I thought about it, I wanted it. I asked my husband if it was the right thing to do and he said to try it. After 5 sessions I complained because I only lost 1 pound. They said maybe I didn't follow their diet program or exercise. The supervisor told me to eat match box sizes of any viand and 1/2 cup rice and only a small slice of dessert. I followed their menu and they also told me to detoxify myself. After that, still nothing happened because after the session I felt hungry! My prayers were answered when somebody called me a few weeks later about a Wellness program. I was hesitant to join because I was already attending that weight loss program in the slimming center. For me it is always an honor to be invited, I attended the seminar and we were also trained to become Medical Missionaries. Everybody was shocked with the result when I religiously followed the Program, after five days I lost 5 lbs. and at present I continue shedding the pounds, I am so happy with the result! This is what you will achieve if you CALL ME NOW to avail my Healthy Lifestyle Services. If, you don't want to loss weight, you will become Healthy and have a strong body FREE from any diseases and if you are sick now, just try and believe, it will be REVERSED. . .

This is how I look now! My weight is - 165 lbs. as of April 11, 2010. I am inviting you to try and join this Program for you, family and friends. I ACCEPT ONE ON ONE CONSULTATION for a minimum fee.

Outreach Mission
Do you want your youth group to be visible in the community? Experience the transformation that comes from reaching out to others. Watch your young people grow in their relationship with God through sharing Gods love with others. See that love overflow into families, friends, neighbors, and yes...the world! "Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age." --Matthew 28:18-20 (The Message)

The Objective of the Adventist Youth

To save from sin and guide into service: this true and only motive, so complete and impressive, was adopted during the 1926 General Conference session. To obtain the salvation of the youth it is necessary to give them every possible opportunity to participate in all Adventist youth activities. By keeping youth actively preparing for more efficient service, they are protected from evil. It is necessary to place them in some activity as soon as they are ready. Seeking the good of others is the way in which true happiness can be found (Counsels on Stewardship, p. 24).
