The Friday evening program was a cantata by Theo- dore Dubois based on the seven last words of Christ. The musical program was prefaced by a welcome by Robert Knutson, principal of Wisconsin Academy. Elder G. E. Hutches, educational secretary of the Lake Union Con- ference, made appropriate remarks, and Elder R. E. Erich Bekowies, principal of Battle Creek Academy, directs a massed choir number. Finney, president of the Wisconsin Conference, offered the invocation and presented thoughts on the cantata theme. Minnie Iverson Wood conducted the choir. The Sabbath School featured special music by groups from Andrews University Academy, Indiana Academy, and Grand Ledge Academy. Elder Lester Rilea, Wiscon- sin youth leader, presented the general lesson study. The Sabbath sermon was presented by Dr. George Akers of Andrews University. The eleven o'clock hour music was furnished by the massed choir, directed by Miss Louise Larmon and Fredrick Lorenz. All the participating academy choirs sang as separate groups and also as a massed choir at the Sabbath after- noon sacred concert. A musical vespers at 7:15 p.m. ushered out the Sabbath. The festival was concluded by a band concert at 8:30 p.m. with band directors from the several academies con- ducting the various numbers. Rudolph Strukoff, who has been working with the University of Indiana and was recently called to teach at Andrews University, sang a series of solos.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

  • Youth Sabbath School Leader

    Youth Sabbath School Leader

    Youth Sabbath School Leader A ministry description for local church leaders Introduction God asks the church to be a community of people sharing a common purpose and fellowship, continually growing in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God. Paul describes the church as Christ’s “body” (Eph. 1:22). God calls us into His body for the purpose of establishing a saving relationship with Him and community with one another. The Holy Spirit convicts our minds, leads us to repentance, and plants us within the church. You experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the world within your church; the world experiences the living presence of Jesus Christ as it witnesses your church. When a local church serves the world it is an expression of the love of Christ to the world. Thus, the church is a servant body. Created for service, it serves the Lord in praise, serves one another in love, and serves the world in humility. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). God calls every member of the church into ministry. The church is “a kingdom of priests” (I Peter 2:9). Our priesthood is to each other within the church and to the world. A youth leader, like any other church officer, is a ministering servant of God. As a youth ministry leader it is important that you see teens as an important part of the present church, not just the church to come.

    It Is Written

    John Bradshaw, speaker-director. Photo from ItIsWritten.com It is Written GREG HUDSON Greg Hudson, D.Min. (Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan), is the senior pastor of the Georgia-Cumberland Academy church in Calhoun, Georgia. He has worked as a registered nurse, and served as a pastor and academy chaplain in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television ministry founded by George Vandeman, began a weekly broadcast in selected American cities in 1956 and has since extended its reach throughout the world. The first religious television program to broadcast in color, It Is Written has innovated methods of using mass media technologies to augment local evangelism throughout its history. The Emergence of Adventist Television Ministry (1939-1955) The Adventist church became involved in television ministry in 1949, a decade after the televising of the New York World’s Fair in 1939 demonstrated the potential of this new medium.1 After the end of World War II in 1945, as more and more Americans acquired television sets, Adventists saw both its dangers as an immoral influence and its great potential in reaching large numbers of people with the message of Jesus.2 The success demonstrated by the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, helped prepare Adventists to recognize the evangelistic potential of modern media. R. H. Libby, J. L. Tucker, and W. A. Fagal pioneered the Adventist use of television as a means of evangelism. On the west coast Tucker started airing The Quiet Hour in 1949.3 In November of that same year, R. H. Libby started airing A Faith to Live By in Baltimore, generating much interest and hundreds of Bible studies, despite working with no budget, no music director, and no musicians.4 Soon another program, Heralds of Hope, with evangelist Robert L.

DEVENISH, Assistant Communication Director, South Australian Conference DURING THE FOUR MONTHS lead- ing up to the Pastor George Vandeman Revelation Seminar in Adelaide, various forms of advertising were used to attract new viewers to the "It Is Written" programme. The most successful form of advertising proved to be thirty-second spot advertisements on radio. On all occasions when radio advertisements were broadcast the responses to the free book offers were far above normal. On one Sunday the responses were five times higher than usual. One lady wrote in and thanked us for advertising the "It Is Written" programme on radio. She had not previously viewed Pastor Vandeman. These advertisements, broadcast between twelve midnight and six in the morning, cost just one dollar each. On March 20 Pastor Vandeman recorded advertising tags here in Adelaide, to be used in all future radio advertisements for "It Is Written." Pastor Vandeman also recorded two television commercials, to be broadcast free by the two channels carrying the "It Is Written" programme in this conference. Also while in Adelaide, Pastor Lonnie Melashenko taped interviews with five people; to be included in future "It Is Written" programmes.

    The International Sabbath School Teachers' Association

    The International Sabbath School Teachers’ Association INTRODUCTION TO SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER TRAINING For Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department Directors International Sabbath School Teachers’ Association Description, Rationale, and Organization Introduction Why is there need for a systematic way to train Sabbath School teachers? Perhaps the students sitting in Sabbath School classes can answer that question better than anyone else! Consider this: When someone becomes ill and needs an operation, how do they choose the person who will perform the operation? Do they go to the local auto mechanic and ask him to operate because he has a lot of tools on hand? Would they stop the first person they meet on the street and ask him or her to perform the operation? Of course not! A person needing an operation chooses a trained and licensed physician. Such people are termed “professionals” in their particular area of expertise because they have adequate training and know what they are doing. The same principle applies to acquiring biblical knowledge and helping people heal their souls. When they want knowledge about the Bible or spiritual help, to whom do they go? They go to someone who is a “professional” in the sense that they know what they are talking about, and know how to adequately help heal souls. An adult Sabbath School teacher training system will help teachers learn, in a systematic way, how to be competent and skilled at what they do. A Sabbath School teacher training system accomplishes three things: ●It teaches how to impart sound biblical knowledge. ●It teaches how to help students apply that knowledge to everyday life.
