AY MOTTO:
The love of Christ compels me.

Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part in the youth ministry of the church, doing what I can to help others and to finish the work of the Gospel in all the world.
The Master Guide (MG) curriculum is one of the leadership programs that the General Conference Youth Ministries Department uses to train people for youth leadership. It is the “Ph.D.” of youth ministry in the field. You cannot earn your Master Guide without taking at least one Basic Staff Training (BST) course.
The Master Guide is the expert, the advisor, the promoter for Adventurers and Pathfinders. As such, MG is NOT a Pathfinder program, it is a Youth Ministry Leadership Program.
The General Conference youth ministries department, in consultation with the youth directors of the thirteen divisions of the world field, has re-Visioned youth ministry and has repositioned Jesus at the center of its existence and mission.
As our motto declares, the love of Christ compels us. Jesus, the Creator of the universe, in whom the fullness of divinity dwells, came down to become like one of us, to restore us to His likeness. He made peace with us through His blood on the cross (Colossians 1: 15-20 NIV).
Jesus Himself says, “And I, if lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me” (John 12:32 KJV).
Global Seventh-day Adventist Youth ministries will elevate Jesus in all aspects of its operation
In response to the growing need of leaders, the loss of ambassadors and young adults, the wave of technology and the focus on the Local Church, Senior Youth Leader (SYL) has been written for Leaders who wish to be involved with Ambassadors and Young Adults. Thus, SYL is a leadership curriculum for Senior Youth Ministry. The church is facing an alarming depletion of young people. It has often been reported that youth are leaving the church not because of doctrinal issues but relational ones. The reasons for losing them can be studied and researched, but something must be done now. The youth want a say in the development and planning of the work of God. Generally, the youth want to be recognized, listened to, appreciated, and involved. This Leadership Curriculum attempts to prepare youth and young adult leaders to address these important issues.
