The lack of united prayer in churches. The adventist culture of labeling people. The false bearing witness of many even pastor unfortunately. Labelling people as liberal or conservative or offshoots before actually knowing them and knowing there journey. I personally have known people who were accused as liberal, conservative and shoots but when I come to know them they were not. They were just growing in their relationship with Jesus. This hasty labeling of people must stop. The church also must get out of our adventist bubble. Let young people go out and minister to the community literally not jsut during crusades but making service to the Community a lifestyle.

Being a junior doctor is highly time-demanding and inflexible; when I'm on duty on Saturdays, I cannot attend church at all, leaving me feeling disconnected from our church programs.

Young professionals in AY programs often struggle to balance work, personal responsibilities, and church activities. Time management can be tough, and taking on leadership roles sometimes leads to burnout. Financial pressures and the feeling that some church programs don’t address their needs—like career guidance or spiritual growth—can leave them feeling disconnected. Generational and cultural gaps in the church may create misunderstandings, and some young adults feel isolated if they don’t have peers in similar life stages. Challenges like; Time management Lack of peer support Burnout and fatigue Cultural and generational differences Leadership pressure Navigating secular influences

One of the challenges is relationship. I a.m newly married and I a.m still adjusting with our married life. Sometimes we have misunderstanding and sometimes I did not able to tender my part as youth leader effectively now due to this marriage adjustment but I a.m still praying for it that somehow I can balance both. God Bless

The possibility of Saturday classes, differing views and opinions of the older generation regarding what spiritualty truly is, generational gaps between the youth/young adults and older generation, demographic between the youth/young professionals in the church is unequal (less youth and they are likely to be misinterpreted/not supported well during youth activities that are outdoors or activities that are located far from the church vicinity), misunderstandings and miscommunications are common in the church especially between the old and young)
