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.

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.

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.

A quick refresher on SDA Beliefs but the period covers at least a month. Or have discussions that somewhat branches off from the Sabbath School lesson of the week, putting on a different POV. whst usually happens is the conclusions in Sabbath School lessons are too general

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.
