Retreats, adventure trips, or local meet-ups to foster deeper connections to enhance spiritual health. Skill-based volunteering, mission trips designed for busy professionals with flexible schedules.

To have a more active community with fellow Young Professionals

I would like to acknowledge the leadership of our leaders from General to local churches. There are many factors to consider when conducting the prior activities and when the activity itself is necessary for the particular place but to my observation, the activity or program of Pathfinder or Masterguide is the demand of our church. It would be a help for the youth in Adventist community. Another is the fellowship from other mission maybe, in addition to that the spiritual retreat. Moreover, Bible reading should be encouraged and daily prayer. We need the leader who knows in implementation of the programs prior to what had agreed upon. The best to it is touched our heart while being enlightened and keep our spirit driven to be a light.

Topics on habits that has an impact to health, how to avoid bad habits like staying long hours in social media, financial management, stewardship, family relationship and proper courtship and marriage.

Community Services, Seminars, Fellowship, Outdoor Activities

To make the Adventist Church and AY program more relevant to young professionals, it should be more flexible and accommodating in activities that not only glorify God but also address real-life challenges. Programs could include work-life balance, career growth, financial management, and mental health. Discussions on relationships, handling rejection, and stress management would also be valuable. Additionally, providing guidance on ethical decision-making, balancing faith and career, and offering opportunities for service and mission work would help young professionals feel supported and connected to the church community.

-Fellowship activities aimed at making connections with fellow young professionals. -Community outreach wherein each young professional may render service in accordance with their profession.

1. New generational activities, topics and programs that will cater the young professional attending in Adventist church. 2. Work-Life-Spiritual Balance 3. Community and Social Support 4. Personal and Spiritual Growth 5. Digital and Technological Engagement 6. Financial Stewardship 7. Advocacy and Social Responsibility 8. Life Transitions and Planning 9. Family Life Programs 10. Career Development and Mentorship

Topics that focused on the Overcoming common crises of Young Professionals, ways to be a light in our workplace, and how to deal with adulting stage. Topics that deals with the realities of life. About the activities, I would recommend community services. Or mission trips. In our conference, all teachers from Adventist Schools are annually going to places to have evangelistic effort.

Topics about: how to live a life well in real world with a connection of God of course, how to prepare in Marriage, how to be faithful to God and to your partner practically, how to handle business with the help of God, how to be a good parents, how to train up a child in accordance to the Lord, how to cope up in the real world, but still bringing the light of God, how to neglect bad companionship, how to be friendly inside the church, for everyone not to feel left behind instead they will feel belongingness, how to be Christ like character practically (character development), how to choose a good partner, and how to put God in the center of relationship. I know some of these are in the book of EGW, but still different if we discuss it inside the church.

The church should extend, enhance and offer more program and activities during AY Program like visitation and community service.

About financial literacy and engagement of youth in the society

We can create programs that showcase our professions, our work, and our purpose. By doing so, we inspire the youth to pursue their own dreams and help them realize that they too can achieve their goals.

Seminar for all professionals in each Mission or union, like there will be gathering that would encourage all adventist professional to stand firm and aI would like to suggest the union or Mission to help our graduates to dins a job local or international, so that they can be a big support like financial or moral support to any church activities.

Family, youth, friends and other outreach activities.

I am a MAS AMiCUS alumni, a master guide and a youth leader. I think we all have the support that the youth department can offer. All we have to do is to involve; involve in God's service, in God's mission. I know just like what we feel back then , mga kadasigon nga atong gibati , we can be alive in church again. Maybe we will start in ourselves. Tanan jud ta maluya , pero wala na siguro ta angay nga basulon ana but ourselves. Why not start within ourselves, and kita ang mobalik sa AY and attend other church services . Maybe we can make a difference.

do a outreach program to all young professionals

As for me, it would be nice to have an active organization for the young professional though we have but not just as active as others (women’s, youths, etc)

Bitaw, for me lang as a youth specially sa AY Program is that siguro ang mahimo tang ma Abi abihun specially Ng naa tay mga new faces na Makita Kay sauna isa sa akoang giganahan nga mobalik jud ko sa AY Program is that Makita nako Ang amega nako sa simbahan nga kusog kaayo mo Abi Abi sa akoa, kanang feeling nga og Makita ko niya sa simbahan is permi ko niyang Gina kumusta, Gina invite Gina uban uban sa bisan onsa nga activities that time Kay sauna man gud grabi kaayo nako kaulawon sa simbahan permi rajud ko naas kilid or Dili mag apil2 sa program Kay lagi mahadlok ko nga ipa lead ko sa prayer or sa bisan onsa nga task Kay lagi Wala koy confidence makig storya atubangan sa tao specially sa Church, but one thing nga ganahan ko mosimba and excited ko is that naay isa ka tao na akoang Gina look forward that time nga Makita og mauban nako sya tungud saiyahang ka active sa activity sa church sa bisan onsa nga program sya jud na mag participate and Ang ganahan sad nako is permi ko niya Gina pangita permi ko niya nga ipa apil kana bitawng ma feel jud nako nga belong jud ko, nga grupo Kay saiyahang pagka thoughtful na Inspired ko nga mahimo pud nga pariha saiyaha nga kahibaw mo ampo, kahibaw mokanta, kahibaw mo preside, kahibaw mo promotional talk, kahibaw mo lead sa mga youth, kahibaw makig higala og daghan syag suod nga amega, di jud nako ni sya malimtan tungud sa simple lang nga kinaiya niya nga iyahang ginapakita every Sabbath na inspired ko nga mamahimong susama pud saiyaha nga magamit sa church and daghan maamega nga kahibaw pud mokanta kanang naa Kay confidence. A simple Abi abihun nato atoang mga higala mga bisita to the point na atoa jud sila ubanon e invite sa mga programs and activities sud sa simbahan pangumustaon and e encourage and make a bonding with them

Maybe providing enough job offers based on their courses as Adventists would help ensure that it's not hard for us to work in our profession while also allowing us to do ministry without any pressure.

Outreach

In my case, i really try my best to integrate in the AY program activities that can relate all ages. We no longer sing action songs. I collaborate with women's organization, health department. Like for example, we had our health lectures that we used during the VOY two years ago. We finished all of those last years tapping other members to hold the lecture. For tjis year, i am planning to have a cooking tips or cooking demo and healthy juices for this nutrition month. I believe that if young professionals and youth will collaborate in the Sabbath afternoon, the program and service will improve. Last December, we had our grandparents appreciation day. All ages participated.. We had our motif for dress, "1980's*. I think the church can also go with the monthly celebration in the government. This February we will talk about the different types, form, expressions and languages of love. If it's mental health month, fire prevention, father's/mother's day, nutrition month, i suggest that we will integrate this to our program. The young professionals and the older ones will be the Lecturers. I also create questions tht i may use for group dynamics. This includes sharings per group, testimonies. Mostly, members get emotional, appreciating the presence of all members.

An outlet to be used to serve within the church. More fellowship with other young professionals

Topics on professional development with spiritual upliftment, laws protecting Sabbath keeping/religious freedom, health, connection with other young professionals, etc.

Mental health. Stable Job/Employment. There must be an organization of adventist professionals, that is duly recognize by the government, if possible, that is one of the main purpose is to help younger adventist people to get a stable job in harmony with our belief. Helping each other improving standard of living. And through this, we could be a better assets of our local churches and the mission in spreading the gospel. Hopefully you won't take it as badly.

Intimate Relationship with God Outreach program to native tribes Prayer

Just be personal. Discipleship program should be introduced in very small groups. Break out sa traditional nga church sevices nga setting, og be more specific to specific person or group of people. Lisud noh? haha.. peru lisud na sya ky wala paman pud ge attempt. Dili kylangan walaon ang traditional church services ky naa man uban nga mas hiyang or mas comfortable sa traditional. Peru break out sessions sa uban nga nangaylangan. I'm sure daghan na. Ang church gathering should not be confined within the four walls of the church. Explore!! I think, kaning survery nindot ni nga start on how to understand each and every church member. Mas e detailed lang ni. I think mao ng kulang sa atoa, walay effort to know and understand each member on a very personal level.

As what I observe today, people are becoming more and more heinous. I hope that not just the professionals but every Adventist member would take the call seriously. I just understood yesterday of how great our mission is in spreading the gospel. The harvest is indeed plentiful but the laborers are so few. I foresee that we need to conduct seminars or sermons focusing on "answering the call" or "evangelism". This, I understood is the purpose why we are here. I hope soon, I can finally answer His call too.

Create some programs that are suited for our level, like seminars for the young professionals especially life advices in order to practically help us balance Faith, work and etc.

How my profession or skills can be used in worldwide mission.
