He pulled back on the control M stick of his F-8 Crusader jet fighter and climbed through 46,000 feet. He would just go over this bad weather—or so he thought. He heard a loud bump and a rumble from the engine. A fire warning light came on. His flight was over. He pulled the ejection handle and was blown into the thin, cold air of 47,000 feet. Decompression caused blood to flow from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. In seconds he had frostbite from the -58 degrees Fahrenheit temperature. He fell into the thundercloud he had been trying to avoid. “I saw that I was in an angry ocean of boiling clouds, blacks, and grays, and whites,” he remembered in his book The Man Who Rode the Thunder. When his parachute came out, he thought his ride was over, but it was just begin- ning. Air currents in the cloud yanked him up, down, and sideways. He saw lightning, which he described as “blue blades several feet thick.” “Sometimes I was falling through heavy water—I’d take a breath and breathe in a mouthful of water. Sometimes I had the sensation I was looping the chute. I was blown up and down as much as 6,000 feet at a time.” At one point he was thrown up into the parachute, and he felt it drape over him like a sheet. At times he was pelted by hailstones that were big enough to leave welts. The battering by the wind, rain, and hail continued for 40 minutes; then he drifted out of the clouds down to a forest of evergreen trees. Colonel Rankin had what may have been the scariest parachute ride ever, but he survived. Maybe you’re going through scary times at home or school. You may feel anxious or depressed. But these times will pass. You have a God who loves you and will be with you through the storm and help you land on your feet. April 25, 2020 | GUIDE | 3 BY Christine Collier NAME THAT STORM “But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his under- standing. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses” (Jeremiah 10:12, 13, NIV). Test your knowledge of the following weather events by matching the correct answer with the definition. Tornado Hurricane Volcano Tidal Wave Asteroid Comet Earthquake Tsunami Avalanche 1.

  • 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.

  • 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.
