10 blaze is a training event that trains young people to engage in ministries. Unlike other training events that allows attendees to flit between different tracks, blaze provides attendees with 10 hours of intensive theoretical and practical training in a ministry of their choice. They can choose from a dozen different ministries. Once trained we are expecting attendees to return to their church/community and use their new skills to impact the lives of their friends, family and peers. We would like pastors and churches to: 1. Select and support those young people within whom they see potential. Send them to blaze for training and equipping. 2. Provide mentorship for these young once they return. Help direct their enthusiasm, and don t let it wane. 3. Help create opportunities for these young people to use their new skills. We know that being actively engage in the mission of the Church will foster spiritual growth and commitment. Thus it is imperative that young people, everybody, finds an avenue for their spiritual gifts and talents. Active members benefit the church by less problematic, more loyal and better stewards. The Youth Department believes that this represents a life on fire. FAQ The minimum age is 14. This is because the training is intensive and requires significant concentration. Trainers are not there to manage behavior. There is no maximum age. If you will find this training beneficial to you and your ministry, then please attend. The price includes accommodation, meals, resources and training. Minors have to attend with a chaperone. We recommend a ratio of 1:8. Chaperone have to pay. We suggest that the chaperone pays the full registration fee and fully participate in the training, rather than just observing. More details about pricing are on the registration site. The program starts at 6 pm on Friday, and concludes on Sunday at 11:40 TRAC K S Evangelism Preaching Hospital Chaplaincy Mentoring Bible Study Counseling Kids Creative Ministry Campus Ministry Small Groups Medical Missionary Children's Church Prison Ministry Drama Ministry The Ministerial Department will sponsor the first 100 young people to the sum of $40 IF the local church will also contribute $40 AND use them. Thus the young person will pay only $40 for the weekend training, but they will be expected to use what they ve learnt in/for their local church. To take advantage of this offer: 1. Ask the young person/adult to give the church $ Ask your treasurer to send the Youth Department a check for $120. (Made payable to Florida Conference) 3. After the young person/adult has used their training in the local church please complete the prescribed form and we ll send you a check for $40.

HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun.

As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers.

17 HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor. Desmond Thomas Doss (February 7, 1919 March 23, 2006) was the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor and one of only three so honored. He was a corporal (private first class at the time of his Medal of Honor heroics) in the U.S. Army, assigned to the Medical Detachment, 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division. Enlisting voluntarily in April 1942, Desmond Doss refused to kill an enemy soldier or carry a weapon into combat because of his personal beliefs as a Seventh-day Adventist. He consequently became a medic, and while serving in the Pacific theatre of World War II, he saved the lives of his comrades, while at the same time adhering to his religious convictions. Doss was wounded three times during the war, and shortly before leaving the Army, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, which cost him a lung. He was discharged from the Army in Tell the World is a unique fully dramatized cinematic production which powerfully tells the story of the birth and development of the early Advent movement. Shot on location it features an original musical score, and a full cast of professional actors and film crew. In an effort to make the film as real as possible, all 170 pages of the Tell the World script and the 200+ scenes were meticulously scrutinized for historical accuracy by three of the church s foremost historians Dr. Alan Lindsay, Prof. George R. Knight and Dr. Jim Nix of the Ellen G White Estate.

Readers were challenged to try 12 different spiritual disciplines in 12 months. The book was very popular, and the 4000 copies have been exhausted. The YM Department has taken the contents, ideas and activates and added new challenges and put them into the new website. The new website allows you to monitor your progress, record your areas of growth and share comments and ideas. The website can also send you alerts and reminders so that you do not forget to complete your challenges. The web was built by Brandon Hurst, former UF student and Adventist Campus Ministry volunteer. Later versions will include: the ability to share your accomplishments through social media. You ll also be able to complete challenges as a group. You ll be able to modify challenges to meet your individual/group needs. You ll be able to set yourself up as a group administrator and monitor your group s progress with shared challenges. We are very excited about this new website and the difference that it can make in the lives of young people. We encourage you to register on the site, and incorporate it in to your spiritual growth plans. Please send us your feedback.
