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.

Engagement for the youth to study SOP Ang most especially bible because in our times of youth the higher time of fucos is on socmed and gadgets that's why I recommend to leaders to encourage all youth to improve studying or seminar and review bible study thank you
Professional growth and Spiritual Growth related activities that would bring back the fire within the YP, that would encourage them to be more active and engage in every church program and activities.
Provided meaningful and intentional programs. Like: 1. Devotionals for Professionals-Create or share devotionals that address workplace challenges and inspire faith in daily tasks. 2. Entrepreneurship Support- Provide training and resources for starting and running businesses aligned with Christian values. 3. Mindfulness and Prayer Sessions- Offer programs focused on stress relief, such as guided prayer, meditation, or wellness workshops. 4. Financial Literacy Programs- Teach budgeting, investing, and tithing based on biblical principles.
The church could have a printed guide of topics to be discussed during AY program to encourage participation of young adult professionals.
Conventions or Fellowships for Adventist Young Professionals These gatherings serve as a dynamic platform where Adventist young professionals can openly collaborate, engage, and build meaningful connections. Through these events, they are given opportunities to explore how they can effectively contribute to the ministry, develop their leadership skills, and grow both spiritually and professionally. By fostering a supportive network, these conventions empower young professionals to use their talents and expertise in service to God and their communities.
Hmm, I can’t think of anything at the moment. As a youth leader, I make sure to include relevant topics covering different aspects of life in our AY program. However, if you have any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.
Prophecy, Master Guide Program

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
Engagement. Community outreach. Leadership skills. Financial independence.
There will be a group dynamics that cater all levels during AY program. Bible Drill to encourage bible reading. Last Days events short lecture then there will be quiz and prizes after.
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.
Developing Young Professionals' skills and talents to better serve the church and the community
activities that are AYP friendly and activities that will catch my interest as a AYP. Topics like financial literacy, skill development, outreach programs.
Yes topics and activities are important and good, but the most important role as young adults could better do is to stay in the church, staying in Jesus, and thats the only answer could fit on addressing our needs. Topics and activities may vary from time to time, and that doesn't mean that we won't go to church because some topics and activities doesn't match to our age anylonger.
Youth empowerment through weekend retreat and socialization.
1. Mental Health 2. Trainings to be Missionaries (local programs - because national and international programs are not accessible by everyone 3.Music Lesson every Sabbath afternoon 4.

unique programs, church/hospital/mission school's visitations, AY programs outside the church
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.
Seminars on balancing work and spirituality especially in young professionals who are working outside our institutions. Problems or issues about sabbath keeping and work.
Programs tailor fit for young professionals
These are the topics that I think could better support young professionals: Mental Health Support: Creating safe spaces to discuss mental health and its intersection with faith, career, and relationships. Navigating Singleness and Marriage: Honest conversations about finding a life partner, building healthy relationships, and maintaining God-centered marriages. Mentorship Programs: Pairing young professionals with experienced Adventists in similar fields for guidance and encouragement.
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.
Outreach program, campings, also ay program needs improvement.
The four aspects of life that should have a balanced program are mental, physical, social, and, most importantly, spiritual training and activities.
Master guide club,singing ministry and youth outings.
Any activities unless it help the young people to be active and be use specially to serve God.
Marriage lectures, practical skills development, such as budgeting tips, accounting, etc.
Mental health related programs, work-life-church balance discussions, skill-based workshops/trainings (there are many to offer),
Church participation during Career development
Selection of songs, Outdoor program during AY, Outreach program
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unique A.y program ideas every saturday
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)
More support for AY program.
"Generations in Harmony" program: A program to bring younger and older church members together, helping them understand and appreciate each other. It bridges the gap between generations, ensuring everyone feels included and valued in the church. 1. Group Conversations Mix young and older members into small groups to talk about faith, worship, and life challenges. 2. Skill Swaps Younger members teach technology, like using social media or smartphones. Older members share life lessons, spiritual advice, or church traditions. 3. Worship Teamwork Teams of different generations plan Sabbath programs together. Blend modern and traditional ideas for a meaningful worship experience. 4. Community Service Projects Work together on activities like feeding programs, clean-ups, or outreach events. Build connections while serving others. 5. Reflection Time End each session by sharing what everyone learned or enjoyed. Use the feedback to improve future gatherings. Lessons: Helps people understand each other better. Builds friendships across generations. Creates a more united and welcoming church family. Makes everyone feel they belong, no matter their age or background.
Initiate programs or camp, or seminars for us.
A seminar that focuses on the strengthening the faith of the young professionals in the fields of their expertise and at the same time how to share God messages even in the busyness of the work place where they in.
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.
Selflessness and Faithfulness --- even if others are not and the church programs do not align to one's standard.
Time management seminar
marriage counselling/ mental health programs/ retreats/ debriefing and the likes.
Young professionals workshops
Livelihood training programs/ programs that are in line with the individual's career, Mental Health, Sex Education
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.
The church should extend, enhance and offer more program and activities during AY Program like visitation and community service.
It is better they have master Guide and Camping must be important inside the Church for the young people
Topics on professional development with spiritual upliftment, laws protecting Sabbath keeping/religious freedom, health, connection with other young professionals, etc.
More programs for Young professionals
Maybe make a revival or program to captivate the attention of the young ones.Becsuse AY is neglected in some areas .Here in our church we can do AY in a very short time only
Any topics to enhance spirituality of the young professionals such as bible markings,spirit of prophecy forum, young professionals camps, workshops and many more.
Spiritual Gifts program
There's a lot of activities in the church, I guess I need only support from them. Through their support young professionals could be better specially in leading the youth. We really need advises from them .
Ignite SYL programs
Outreach program once a month is enough
AYF program for young professionals.
It’s better if they have the same program in morning (i mean the sabbath school program & divine program). No more playing/game activities. I know it’s fun but not everyone is enjoying it.
To have a more active community with fellow Young Professionals
Outreach programs.
Music Ministry, music lesson and christ centered character development
Hmmm ... maybe how to choose a significant other for singles seminar? or a budget friendly conventions?
I am inviting them to share their field bu giving some insights and talks during AY Programs.
A Y program
It is better to teach our young professionals about evangelism. Particularly in making sermons "PROPER SERMONS" not just talking nonsense in the pulpit like an entertainer. Teach them how to play musical instruments that are relevant to the church program. Nowadays, as I have observed, some of our churches now resemble a karaoke hall. Church members rely on the projected lyrics while singing along with the MIDI/Minos One music. We are now lacking youth that are knowledgeable on playing musical instrument.
Professional Training: Finding work For marriage Career guidance Etc
Seminars like Managing Your Boss, Managing Your Time, or How to Shine as an Adventist in the workplace.
