Chimwemwe Mission District - AY

Pastor Angel Chipulu writes :
As we go for the local church elections in October and November kindly note the following :

1. The position of Adventist Youth Leader(AY Leader) does not exist.The new Church Manual and the Youth Manuals don't have such a position.

2. The name of our Department is not Youth Ministry but Adventist Youth Ministries (AYM). The department has 5 levels of Ministries namely :Adventurer, Pathfinder, Ambassador, Young Adult and Public Campus Ministry(PCM)

3. Public Campus Ministry(PCM)is no longer "stand alone". It is now part of Adventist Youth Ministries. It is the 5th Ministry in the Adventist Youth Ministries.

4. The Young Adult Leader may chair the Youth Committee at the local church. Chairing the Youth Committee does not make him superior to the other leaders like Adventurer Director, Pathfinder Director, Ambassador Director and PCM Cordinator. All the 5 leaders are at par.

5. Master Guide(Junior Youth Leadership Training Course) and Senior Youth Leader(SYL) are at par. They are all leadership programmes. Non is inferior to the other.

6. The definition of who a 'youth' is in our Church is from 4-30 years. Master Guides and SYL who are above 30 are part of youth ministries even though they are not youths by definition. Those above 30 should continue to mentor and inspire the young ones. Pastors and all those elected to youth leadership positions even if they are above 30 are still part of Youth Ministries.

7. The Little Lambs and Early Birlds are the newest classes in the Adventurer Ministry.

8. Club Ministry Training(CMT) has replaced Pathfinder Leadership Award(PLA), Advanced Pathfinder Leadership Award(APLA) and Pathfinder Instructor Award(PIA). There will be no Investiture ceremony in Club Ministry Training(CMT).Master Guide remains the highest Junior Youth Leadership Program

9. Bible Truth will not be examinable according to the the revised Master Guide Carricullum.

10. Master Guide and SYL have no age limit.

Happy Preparation day everyone.
