ADVENTURERS AS A MINISTRY The Adventurer Club provides fun and creative ways for children. The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist church- sponsored ministry

2 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

open to all children ages 4-9, in which the church, home and school join together to help children grow joyfully in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. The Adventurer Club is offered to assist parents in making the development of their child richer and more meaningful. It is the policy of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to admit children to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities made available by the church, regardless of race, gender, handicap, or religion. Difference between pathfinders and adventurers The Adventurer Club has been created so younger children may have a club of their own. The programming and planning for the Adventurer Club should be simple and short, but creative. In some ways the Pathfinder and Adventurer Clubs are similar, but the Adventurer program is to be unique in its own way and should be kept separate. One of the Adventurer Club objectives is to provide a meaningful and exciting experience as the children look forward with anticipation to being a Pathfinder in the future. The Pathfinder Club is designed to meet the growing needs of children ages 10-15 by strengthening healthy peer relationships. An adventurer is designed to meet the needs of 4-9 year olds by strengthening their family relationships. It is not intended that we duplicate all the experiences of Pathfindering, but rather that by providing a separate Adventurer Club many needs of the youth aged 6-9 will be met in an exciting and enjoyable way and thus they will be ready to fully enjoy the Pathfinder experience when that time arrives. In many instances parents have children in both clubs and may be involved themselves. Therefore, it may be necessary to operate the Adventurer and Pathfinder club meetings at the same hour and day, but this does not mean that the clubs should be combined. Adventurer club and Adventist youth The church provides three different and distinct programs for the progressive development of its youth. Level 1 - THE ADVENTURER CLUB - A separate club for children ages 4-9, (pre-kindergarten to grade 4). The club has its own uniform and stars , chips & awards, insignia, and class curriculum. Level 2 - THE PATHFINDER CLUB - A separate club specifically designed to foster the spiritual, mental, physical, and social development of the 10-15 year old. This club has its own honors, insignia, classes, and a uniform different from that worn by members of the Adventurer Club. Level 3 - The Ambassadors CLUB for those in the 16-21age group. Level 4- THE YOUNG ADULT CLUB for those of 22-31+age group These fourth levels have a common purpose in the salvation of our youth. Their development and operation share a common theology of ministry which is rooted in Scripture and expanded in the Spirit of Prophecy. ORANIZATION Within each club boys and girls are organized into units of four to eight Adventurers with a counselor as their leader. All Adventurers activity revolves around the unit. The Adventurer unit has frequent fellowships periods that are planned by and for the Adventurer unit guided by the counselor and often includes member of the Adventurer’s family.

ADVENTURER CLUB BASICS In this overview of the Adventurer Club, we’ll take a quick look at the mission, curriculum, pledge, law, song , and all the patches your kids can earn as of the club.

Patches for little lambs are called stars, for eager beaver they are called chips and for busy bees through helping hands they are called awards.

2. Safety, Philosophy & History of Adventurers Seminars A Short History of Adventurers Based on the history provided by Norm Tew in the Master Guide resource Personal and spiritual growth/ a brief history of youth ministry in the South Pacific -April 2010 World History In the year 1930 four Pre-JMV (Junior Missionary Volunteer) classes were developed for 6-9 year old children. These classes were: Busy Bee, Sunbeam, Builder and Helping Hand. The name Pre-JMV’s was renamed ‘Adventurers’ in 1979 -Was created in order to strengthen the parent/child relationship and further the child’s development in spiritual, physical, mental, and social areas. -General conference endorsed ideas of BUSY BEE, SUN-BEAM, BUILDER, & HELPING HAND in 1939. -In 1972 the Washington conference sponsored a club for children called “BEAVERS”, the north eastern conference joined into the children’s club concept by 1975. -1989- a committee met to update the adventurer curriculum, develop awards and write guidelines for adventurer club organization & the logo (badge) was voted in officially. he workbooks for the Pre-JMV (Junior Missionary Volunteer) class were issued by the Missionary Volunteer Department of the Australasian Division. They were identical to the Adventurer Work books later issued by the Youth Department of the South Pacific Division apart from the name and the issuing authority. Copies of these workbooks are on the SPD Adventurer web page. -IN 1990, the adventurer program piloting process began in the North American DIVISION. Australian Adventurers The Adventurer classes took over the pre-JMV manuals until the current manual was issued in October 1992 and revised in October 1993. It was also at this time that the Adventurer Ministry was handed over from the Children’s Ministry department to the Youth department to administer. Secondly, there was an interest in reaching out to local communities to impact them for Christ. http://pathfinders.adventistconnect.org/site_data/86/assets/0025/1420/MG_SPD_History_of_Youth_Ministry_-_Apr_2010.pdf Trivia Research states that the first Club named Adventurers was started in 1966 in Connecticut in the United States Australian Adventurers wear the green scarf instead of the maroon scarf issued by the General Conference because that was the color of the old Pre-JMV scarf. Philosophy of the Adventurer Program Philosophy of Adventurers The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist church- sponsored ministry open to all children ages 4-9, in which the church, home and school join together to help children grow joyfully in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man. The Adventurer Club is offered to assist parents in making the development of their child richer and more meaningful. ‘The church’s greatest resource is our children; therefore, it is imperative that as a church we meet the challenge to provide a program for our children during their early, formative years. We want right habits, thoughts, motives, dispositions, and attitudes to be established. The Wise Man wrote, “Bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”Prov. 22:6 (NIV). This is more than a cliché—it is a scientific formula http://gc.bigfoottech.com/Ministries/Adventurers/PhilosophyObjectives/tabid/110/Default.aspx

Role of Children in the Bible The following is quoted from the Ministers and Elders Handbook for Children’s Ministries, published by the General Conference 2005 “…..Children bring joy and blessings to adults. God provides may benefits to parents through parenting their children. [Num 5:28, Deut 28:4,11] Children need to be taught to develop a relationship with God. One of our greatest challenges is to pass on our beliefs and understanding of God to our children [Exod. 12:26,37; Deut 6:1-7; Prov 22:6] Children are so valuable to God that he commands us to protect them. Parents are to ensure the spiritual and physical safety of their children [1 Sam. 20:42; Ezra 8:21] ……..God enjoys the nature and personality of children and asks adults to learn from them. Scripture identifies attributes such as sincerity, humility, simplicity and trusting as qualities found in children and God treasures these characteristics [Matt 18:3; 19:4; Phil. 2:15] Safety for Adventurers ‘Beware of the Wolf’ Check if audience knows the story of Red Riding Hood if not give outline What do we have to learn from the characters? 1. The Mother –Responsible adults don’t send a child into what seem like a safe place alone 2. The Woods- The people in the church or other environment may seem as safe as an empty wood- don’t believe it 3. The Wolf in the wood- they may appear harmless – they are select. 4. The Grandma- she let someone in to a safe place fooled by how they presented themselves – she didn’t wait to check first 5. The Wolf in grandma’s clothing- they show an interest in the child, providing attention which may be lacking at home, they appear to be safe 6. The Woodcutter- the adult who comes in the nick of time to save the child from the ‘Wolf’- every adult has this responsibility, to be cautious and observant of the child’s reactions and communication. Sadly for many children the ‘Woodcutter’ never comes The Bible talks about ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing coming amongst the flock’, don’t let it be your flock’ Points to remember



screen your volunteers well, wait for six months for anyone unknown to you- it may be worth a call to their previous pastor or church



use the Conference or your own Child Safe policy to set up your standards and make sure everyone knows them



The rule is at least two by two. don’t let your Adventurers go anywhere by themselves



If there is only one child in a class, use a multi-class area or combine classes. avoid the one child to one adult ratio



Ensure all smaller rooms used are visible, either through a window or an open door



Do a reconnoiter first, check the area for potential hazards before your Adventurers find them and they will!  In public areas be especially cautious and enforce the rules of two by two and staying within sight  Use the ‘animals went in two by two’ song for younger children to remember the rule Ask to children to remember the truck sticker, ‘if you can’t see my mirrors I can’t see you’ It is their job to see their Adventurer teacher or leader at all times Make sure all parents know the rules, remember, you are responsible while they are at Adventurer meetings or outings. Our Church has a child safety program called Safe Places. “Each church need to have Safe Places Coordinator”.

3. UNIFORMS SEMINARS Adventurer Uniform Class A The Adventurer Club in Greater in world includes the following classes: Little Lamb, Eager Beaver, Busy bee, Sunbeam, Builder, and Helping Hands. All Adventurers, beginning with Little Lambs to Helping Hands will wear: The shirt/blouse is long sleeve, it is consistent and uniform with the rest of the club. Must be consistent with design, color, pattern specifications of the GC through SID. (Different for ladies in the Master Guide Uniform). Hair must be clean and well groomed, as well as finger nails; they must be neatly cut and natural. The only jewelry items that are accepted with the uniform are: wristwatch, wedding band, or engagement ring. No other jewelry is accepted with the Uniform. Uniformity within each club is very important. Even in the optional items, there must be uniformity within the club; example: if the club wears the sash, everyone in the club must wear it. If the club wears berets, everyone in the club must wear it. The uniform makes the organization real and visible. It becomes emblematic and representative of an ideal, a standard. One of the ways to set up a standard and bring the members of an organization up to that standard is through the uniform. It should stimulate loyalty toward that standard by building morale and binding members into closer fellowship. It also appeals to those not already members to join. The uniform becomes a builder of club spirit. The uniform is always neat and clean. Because the Adventurer Club program is valuable to each member, the uniform will be acquired and worn with enthusiasm.

ABOUT CHARGES IN ADVENTURERS MINISTRIES Little Lambs & Eager beavers. The integration of little Lambs & eager beaver into Adventurer program is necessary on the basis that it would enhance the concept of family that is central in the ADVENTURER MINISTRY and if would recognize a practice that is already widespread around the world, officially the LITTLE LAMBS & EAGER BEAVER are located in the ADVENTURER MINISTRY ( SZBUC Leadership institute document from SID. PG8)

The Adventurer program has been created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as a child’s primary teachers and evangelizers. The program aims to strengthen the parent/child relationship and to further the child’s development in spiritual, physical, mental, and social areas. Through the Adventurer Program, the church, home, and school can work together with the parent to develop a mature, happy child. So we have voted to incorporate Little Lambs and Eager Beavers into the Adventurer Curriculum. However, due to the challenges of translating Eager Beaver into some of our languages we have changed the name to Early Birds.

NEW ADVENTURERS’ LOGO AND A NEW ADVENTURERS’ SCARFY. Burgundy is a new color of the Adventurer scurfy. Therefore the change from orange to burgundy will be gradual in Division were orange had been the practice. A new Adventurer logo represents essence of the Adventurers ministry .

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP

9 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

(A) A LEADER -is a person who leads. It comes from a German word meaning “To make go”. The same root is used for out English word, guidance, way path, track and load. Who then is a leader? (i) He makes things go (ii) He shows the way (iii) He gives guidance (iv) He finds the path (v) He channels resources in the right track (vi) He carries the load - This is what the word leader really means. A Christian Leader must know the way, if he is to guide others in the right path, he himself must be led by the great Master Guide Jesus Christ.

(B) CALLED TO LEAD OTHERS (i) Leaders are “Christ co-workers” (Counsels to Teachers p. 503). (ii) Are helping hands for the Lord (Ibid p. 488). (iii) Representatives of God (Education p. 287).

(C) BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN LEADER (i) Start things and make them succeed. (ii) Find solution to problem – a leader doesn’t see problems but challenges. (iii) Shows the way – has a good idea of what should be done and knows how to do it. (iv) Directs and uses all the talents and resources of the youths. (v) Knows how to delegate responsibilities and authorities.

(D) FIVE BASIC NEEDS OF THE CHRISTAIN LEADER 1. To know Christ as Personal Savior – must cultivate the art of living in the presence of Christ. 2. Must b understanding, empathy and love for youths. 3. Must have sufficient time and capacity need for the task. 4. Must have spiritual and emotional maturity. 5. Must have the ability to make friends, to counsel and communicate.

(E) RESPONSIBILTY OF A CHRISTIAN LEADER (i) Must direct the youth to Christ and strengthen them in the faith. (ii) Must seek to awaken the interest of youths in the affairs of the Church. (iii) Provide opportunities for the youths to live a full, abundant life now.

(F) THE BASES OF CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP What is Leadership? 1. Leadership is influence that one person has on another or a group of individuals to achieve at least similar goals. 2. Leadership is going somewhere and taking people with you. 3. Leadership is getting the important things done, at the right time, with optimum qualities, with the proper investment of resource. 4. Leadership means relationship. 5. Leadership means sharing participation with the leadership process. 6. Leadership means setting goals and getting the job done. 7. Leadership means meeting the basic needs of others. 8. Leadership means clear mutual expectation. 9. Leadership means turning problems into projects. - Influence can be good or evil. For the Christian leader, service to other selfless giving, sets him or her apart as one who is committed to the spiritual welfare and salvation of God’s people. Leadership is not a crown but a cross. The cross restores a relationship between God and man, then man to man relationship. The real essence of leadership is sacrifice.

(G) LEADERSHIP QUALITIES MOST DESIRED BY YOUTHS 1. Understanding (Prov.4:7) without understanding it is impossible to help, guide, or instruct one who is in need. Such leaders are rewarded with an attitude of respect, devotion, love and almost hero worship. 2. Spirituality (Rom. 6:8) a combination of two (2) understanding and spirituality, a most powerful force is placed in motion for the uplifting, healing, reconciliation and spiritual well-being of both the one knowing salvation and the one uncommitted. 3. Knowledge ability (Ecc. 7:12) Youth accept leaders who know where they are going, leaders whose objectives are obtainable and who know how to achieve them.

12 QUALITIES OF A LEADER "He who cooperates with the divine purpose in imparting to the youth a knowledge of God, and molding the character in harmony with His, does a high and noble work. He awakens a desire to reach God's ideal, he presents an education that is as high as heaven and as broad as the universe" (Education, p. 19). 1. Love God supremely. It takes Christian leaders to produce Christian men and women. The Adventurer leader's life is marked by Christcentered living. He or she must model what he or she expects Adventurers to become. 2. Love children sincerely. The only satisfactory motive for serving in the Adventurer Club is love for children. This love will be expressed more in action than by words. The Adventurer notices when an adult gladly shares time, energy and companionship. This love perseveres, even when the children are unappreciative. 3. Serve with enthusiasm. A vibrant, enthusiastic personality is a great asset to the Adventurer leader. Enthusiasm is contagious. Adventurers quickly follow optimistic leadership. The successful leader emphasizes the positive and supports the program with energy. 4. Possess emotional stability. A leader has to learn to master emotions. A leader needs self-discipline, temperance, faith and trust in God, and a sense of responsibility. Outbursts of ill temper, anger, or depression destroy the image of a competent Christian leader. Everyone is human, though, and sometimes leaders react in anger. A Christian leader will learn to apologize and ask forgiveness when he or she fails to exhibit Christian standards. A leader who can admit wrong is much more effective than one who pretends everything is perfect. 5. Enjoy being outdoors. Much of the activity of the Adventurer Club is done outdoors. The

10 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

Adventurer leader should enjoy outdoor activities such as camping and hiking and learn the skills required. The leader needs to have something new and fresh to introduce to the club or unit. 6. Know the essential characteristics of children. A successful leader understands the characteristics common to young children. Read current books, make observations, and work in harmony with prevailing trends. 7. Learn a variety of skills. A leader who is versatile and diverse always has something new to introduce to the group. As any good teacher, the leader should be knowledgeable about and prepared for the activities in which he or she leads the Adventurers. The leader should be able to discover the joy of new experiences in the Adventurer Staff Training Course. 8. Develop the ability to organize. Leaders need to be organized. First the leader sets goals and evaluates all the factors needed to reach these goals. Next, the leader outlines definite steps to accomplish these goals. Then, the leader delegates responsibility to as many people as possible. Finally, the leader coordinates what these people do and encourages and facilitates their progress step by step until the objective has been reached. This is organization. 9. Maintain good relations with fellow workers. As a leader, personal relations are exceedingly important. A leader has the responsibility of seeing that the staff is happy and working effectively. Problems among the staff cripple the entire program. The leader models good people skills, being tactful and diplomatic in handling personal problems. A leader must use the principles of love as the basis for everything done. A leader should never show jealousy or partiality in dealing with the staff or with the Adventurers. A leader's job is to facilitate those who are under his or her supervision so that they will do the best job possible. The leader is responsible for training future leaders of the Adventurer Club. 10. Radiate a dignity of presence that assures order. A leader has a commanding (not domineering) personality. This means that he or she has a dignity that commands respect without resorting to other methods. A leader should also be warm and friendly, someone whom an Adventurer can approach comfortably. A leader needs to balance firmness with kindness. 11. Sense of humor. In dealing with children a sense of humor is important. Using humor to handle teasing from Adventurers or to deal with irritating or upsetting incidents will keep things in perspective. 12. Be resourceful and creative. A leader has to be capable of reaching an objective despite various obstacles and difficulties. He or she is resourceful and has alternatives and options ready in an emergency. The leader is creative and determined in accomplishing goals. Personality and Emotional Maturity- leaders who handle pressure in a mature way. (H) MATURE LEADERSHIP i. Know others - Leaders must realize that they are working with imperfect people. ii. know yourself - recognize your own weakness and by the grace of God learn to grow to be like him. iii. Have and Demonstrate interest in others – as a leader always look for good in others. Even the most negative person there is good which can be discovered. iv. Demonstrate genuine Courtesy - True courtesy makes no exception of persons. Christ was courteous even to his persecutors; and his followers must manifest the same spirit (Ministry of Healing p. 489). v. Always be ready to help. vi. Make other feel Comfortable – even those with different views from yours. vii. Know the temperament of others e.g. Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic Melancholy. - The leader must know how to relate with them. viii. Be Tactful - when we deal with others, we should do so with kindness, courtesy and tact. It is better to ask than to tell, to listen than to accuse, to focus on the problem, not the person. (I) CHRIST THE MODEL LEADER 1. He led by his life. His life as an example. He lived what he taught. 2. He was sympathetic and understanding of the needs of others. Those who were afflicted felt as though Christ linked himself with them as a faithful, tender and loving friend. (Desire of Ages pp. 254, 255, Heb. 4:15-16). 3. He was kind and Thoughtful (Eph. 4:32 Ministry of Healing p. 487, Steps to Christ p. 12). “He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word and never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul”. 4. He saw every person as a candidate for Heaven – he saw that sinful man can be transformed into his likeness wen he is transfigured. He saw possible heirs of the kingdom. (Ministry of Healing p.42, 26, 26; John 3:16-17. 5. He had a sense of mission (John 18:37, Luke 2:29. 6. He was humble and Dependent upon his Heavenly Father – he surrounded to the Fathers will and plans for him. He humbled himself to a level of man or a sinner. 7. He gave a pattern for Soul-winning – Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people. He showed his sympathy for them, ministered to their needs and won there conference. Then he bade them follow me.

WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW IN LEADERSHIP 1. Do not make people but build them (Gen. 37:19-20). 2. Give a second change or people to lead but don’t stand at Akimbo (Luke 13:7-8). 3. Develop leaders while leading (I kings 19:20). 4. Establish work into divisions and delegate (Exodus 18:17-23). 5. Make decisions in the frame work of the law and policy (Matt. 4:4). 6. Do tasks according to limits (Phil. 4:13; Luke 14:28-34). 7. Consult authority entitled (Romans 13:6-7; Luke 3:6-7). 8. Analyze mistakes and learn from them (Luke 15:18). 9. A handover is virtues or very important (2 Kings 2:13-14). 10. You only retire at death (Joshua 14:10-11; Heb. 7:17).

LEADERSHIP THEORIES 1. Trait Theory – This theory teaches teachers that leaders are born not made. A person is born either with qualities of disqualified for being a leader. (a) Physical Trait – This could include height, weight, physical attractiveness, body shape and appearance. (b) Personality Trait – This include intelligence, self-confidence, dominance, enthusiasm, assertiveness, responsibility, creativity, originality, dependability, critical thinking ability and ability to communicate effectively, e.t.c. NOTE: There are qualities that may make one not to be a leader (1 Samuel 16:7 and 1 Samuel 7:12).

11 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

2. CIRCUMSTANCES THEORY – This theory teaches that the leader leads according to circumstances and can be effective in one circumstance, while totally ineffective in another. According to this theory of leadership, the circumstances make (or break) the leader. (Amos 7:14-15). 3. FUNCTION THEORY – This theory teaches that leadership consists of certain behaviors or functions that groups must have performed. These functions are identifiable behaviors that can be learned by any person; all can improve their potential as leaders by learning to perform these key functions more effectively. Function theory opens the doors to all to be able to become a leader.

LEADERSHIP STYLES Other studies have identified three (3) basic leadership styles: 1. Autocratic leadership - The leader makes the decisions (Exodus 5:2). The leader has a high need for control often to the point of being obsessed with it. 2. Laissez-Faire Leadership style - The leader is just in a position by design or by default simply does nothing. This style permits the members to do whatever they want to do. No policies or procedures are established and every one is left alone; no one attempts to influence anyone else (Judges 17:6). 3. Democratic leadership style – The group makes the decisions (Acts 1:15-25). The problem with style it takes more time to get the job done. Autocratic style gets job done faster, the quality and durability of the result is less than under democratic leadership. - Autocratic style is better in given situation and bad in another: e.g. if a house is on fire, the best style is Autocratic not democratic. - In many situations democratic is better.

THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS They can be grouped into Extroverts (Cholerics and Sanguines) and Introverts (Phelgmatics and Melancholics)

NO. STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES 1. Choleric Leader, energetic, optimistic, determined, decisive, practical Angry-cruel, proud, sarcastic, domineering, unemotional 2. Sanguine Cheerful, enthusiastic, positive, loves people Emotional, disorganized, undependable, indecisive 3. Phlegmatic Peacemakers, diplomatic, clam, considerate Unmotivated, selfish, stingy, fearful, tease, spectator 4. Melancholy Reflective, gifted, self-disciplined, loyal, sensitive neat and orderly Critical, revengeful, moody, touchy, persecution-prone.

5. UNDERSTANDING THE ADVENTURER AGE CHILDREN SEMINARS-Patience is the key 1.WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? PROVERBS 22:6 (NCV) EPH. 4:6 Train children to live the right way and when they are old, they will not stray from it.

MATTHEW 18:6 – LUKE 17:2 If anyone causes one of these little ones –those who believe in me – to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

how they behave THEY LOVE strenuous (eagerly pressing or urgent; zealous; earnest) activities! They LOVE to create new things! They have active imaginations/growing ability to memorize! They have variable attention spans They LOVE hearing stories! They are readily disciplined! They CRAVE (strong desire; longing appetite) new experiences that satisfy! They are CURIOUS about everything!

understanding why they behave that way I am imaginative Average attention span is 1-2 minutes Large assignments discourage them Their energy is not limitless, therefore their initial excitement may cause exhaustion/ crankiness They like work that can turn in play Muscular coordination is still developing, they need practice with smaller muscles-(ex: putting things together/drawing). Memorization comes easily. Boys usually like outdoor activities/wild animal stories Girls typically like stories about children/family experiences/ stories that involve repetition and conversation Children must feel like they have freedom of choice They must be able to move around after remaining still for too long They become irritated and discouraged by failure

Planning the Adventurer Club Year The Adventurer Club year may correspond with the calendar year or the school year. Check with your conference for their master schedule. Take time before the Adventurer year begins to create your calendar. Schedule a time when you can meet with your staff for several hours to plan events, programs and other activities. Consider planning a weekend retreat so your staff can get to know one another while spending time in prayer and planning. If a weekend retreat isn’t possible, plan at least an afternoon to meet together. When you meet with your staff, consider the following questions: • What do we want to accomplish this year? • How can we meet these goals? • When will each event take place? • Who will be responsible? • How will we communicate with Adventurers, parents, church members, and the community? • How often should the club meet? • How often should the staff meet? • How will we evaluate our programs? Be sure to include the following on your calendar: • Weekly meetings

15 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

• Induction • Adventurer Sabbath • Crafts • Conference-sponsored activities • Nature activities • Curriculum requirements • Adventurer Fun Day • Investiture It’s important to include Adventurer awards when planning your calendar. Choose awards, crafts, and activities that will appeal to both boys and girls. Consider who can teach the various classes on your schedule and find outside helpers who can contribute to the Adventurer program. This will keep your staff members from taking on more than they can handle. The church board must approve the Adventurer Club’s annual calendar, including field trips and other off-site activities. This will build support and put the club in a better position to ask for financial considerations when the board develops the annual church budget. The local church board must approve all off-site activities in order for insurance coverage to be effective. Planning for an entire year may seem like a lot of work. However, your time is an investment. Annual planning creates a roadmap for the entire Adventurer year. Your team will work more efficiently when they can see the big picture. Early planning on your part also allows families to plan their schedules around Adventurers and eliminate scheduling conflicts. This will help attendance stay strong throughout the Adventurer Club year.

Recruiting Adventurers During the summer months, your leadership team can visit in the homes of prospective Adventurers. Meet with children and their parents/guardians and tell them about the club and activities. Use this time to build relationships and get to know the families who want to join your club. Four weeks before registration, begin placing announcements in the church bulletin with all the details parents and Adventurers will need. You can also post information on the church bulletin board. Remind parents that their attendance is important because their signature is required on several forms. Send a letter to prospective Adventurers and their parents, encouraging them to join the club. This is a good time to let them know about uniform costs and club dues. Because not all families will be able to afford the cost of uniforms and dues, you could recruit sponsors to help defray expenses. You could also consider purchasing uniforms to rent to Adventurers each year. Recruit Adventurers by: • Visiting prospective Adventurers and their parents at home • Bulletin announcements • Sending letters to prospective Adventurers and their parents • Posting announcements on church bulletin board • Promoting the Adventurer Club on your church website

The Adventurer Year Begins Adventurer Registration The first official event of the Adventurer year is registration. You’ve done lots of legwork; now your recruiting efforts will pay off. Below are several ideas for helping registration run smoothly. Choose a time when you know most people will be able to attend. If you schedule registration for your regularly scheduled meeting time, it will help parents know when they need to drop off their children each week. Adventurer registration can coincide with Pathfinder registration, though you will probably want to pick different locations within the church. Set up a welcome station where you can greet Adventurers and parents and distribute registration materials. From here, Adventurers and parents will need to: • Complete an Adventurer Club Membership Application. (A master copy is included in the Adventurer Club Manual.) • Complete an Adventurer Club Health Record. (A master copy is included in the Adventurer Club Manual.) • Be measured and place a uniform order. Assign someone familiar with taking measurements to this station. • Receive a class level assignment. Provide parents with a calendar of events, at least for the first part of the Adventurer year. The calendar should include weekly meetings, induction, Adventurer Sabbath, field trips, campouts, investiture and any other events. This will help families plan their schedule around Adventurer activities.

16 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

Registration is generally held in the fall when the Adventurer year begins. You may need to hold a second registration in January if more children wish to join your club. Adding new Adventurers halfway through the year may be difficult. By joining the club late, they may be behind in their curriculum requirements and may not be ready for Investiture in the spring. Your leadership team will need a plan for late registrations.

Induction Induction is a special ceremony where both new and returning Adventurers are dedicated to the Lord. It should be scheduled three to four weeks following club registration. By waiting few weeks to hold the induction ceremony, Adventurers have time to learn the Adventurer pledge, law and song. Adventurers should wear their dress uniforms for this ceremony. The Induction service may include: • Flag ceremony • Pledge to Zambia flag • Pledge to Christian flag • Pledge to Bible • Adventurer theme song • Adventurer pledge and law • Invocation and welcome • Homily • Recognition of parental responsibility • Dedication prayer • Dedication song

Weekly Meetings The director’s responsibilities include the following: • Arrive early to prepare for the meeting. Unlock the building before staff and Adventurers begin to arrive. • Arrange for a worship speaker each week. It is always advisable to have something prepared in case the planned speaker is not available. • Ensure all units are adequately supervised. If a unit counselor is unable to be present, you will need to step in or delegate someone else to supervise the unit. • Begin meetings on time. • Help Adventurers and staff transition smoothly between activities. • Deal with any discipline problems in a way that won’t alienate the misbehaving Adventurer, but will bring the situation under control. • End meetings on time so both parents and children can stay on schedule. This is especially important if your club meets on school nights.

Investiture The Adventurer year will pass faster than you can imagine. As the weeks and months slip by, the Adventurers will feel a sense of accomplishment as they complete class work and gain new skills through completing awards. With the end of the Adventurer year comes the investiture service. If your church has a Pathfinder Club, you may choose to combine the investiture service for both clubs. This service is a time for recognition of work done well. It is a time for Adventurers to share what they have learned so the church family can recognize their accomplishments. Adventurers will enjoy displaying their finished projects. Elements to include in an investiture service: • Adventurer theme song • Adventurer pledge and law • Special music • Memory work • Practical demonstrations or skits • Parental recognition • Charge • Presentation of Adventurer awards and certificates • Closing song • Closing prayer

Adventurer Investiture Ceremony Outline 17 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

It is important that this service be conducted in a dignified manner and in a way that will encourage every person to do more for the encouragement and salvation of children. Check with your pastor at the beginning of the Adventurer year to see if you can schedule the Investiture service during the Sabbath morning schedule. The Anchoring in Christ Pin: Is to be given at Investiture for the purpose of recognizing parents/guardians who have regularly participated in the Adventurer Club during the past year. These pins symbolize the parents/guardians commitment to the Adventurer Club, and should be given to each parent/guardian whose child is invested.

Guidelines in Giving Achievement Awards The following are the types of certificates, which the Ontario Conference Adventurer Department will issue, if requested (with names submitted) three weeks prior to event:  Adventurer of the Year (Boy) *  Adventurer of the Year (Girl) *  Eager Beaver of the Year (Boy)  Eager Beaver of the Year (Girl)  Little Lamb of the Year (Boy)  Little Lamb of the Year (Girl)  Best in Conduct (Adventurer)  Best in Conduct (Eager Beaver)  Best in Conduct (Little Lamb)  Most Improved Adventurer  Most Improved Eager Beaver  Most Improved Little Lamb  Best in Attendance (Adventurer)  Best in Attendance (Eager Beaver)  Best in Attendance Little Lamb It is optional for the club to present other trophies or medals to the awardees as seen fit, but be aware of the sensitiveness of this age group in presenting awards. Example: If all the children received awards except one, this might negatively affect the one left out. So think of ways to recognize the strength and potential of everyone. When awards are given, parents should accompany their children to receive the award.

Relating to Parents Successful clubs require the participation of every member’s parent/guardian in some capacity. Engaging parents in club activities will strengthen the overall program. If parents are unable to serve as staff members, encourage them to provide transportation for outings, teach an award, host Adventurer parties, etc.

18 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

As Adventurer director, make it a point to understand the families of children in your club. What is each child’s home situation? Are their parents or guardians strict disciplinarians or overly permissive? What level of supervision do they expect from the Adventurer staff? How will they evaluate your program? While most Adventurers in your club will probably come from Christian homes, you should also be prepared to minister to children and families from different backgrounds. Demonstrating your genuine interest in each child will help you win parents’ confidence. Below are some recommendations: • Communicate regularly with parents via email, phone, letters, in-person discussion and the Adventurer calendar • Make sure each parent has a clear understanding of the club’s goals • Recognize parental contributions on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis

Finances Before the Adventurer year begins, meet with your staff to plan the annual budget. Your club’s funding will come from several sources. Each Adventurer will contribute annual dues. In addition, the church will provide a portion through the annual church budget. Donations may round out the budget. Include the cost of the following in your budget: • Adventurer awards • Certificates • Craft supplies • Outreach projects • Conference events • Field trips • Conference registration fee • Transportation

Summary Directing an Adventurer Club is a big job that will make a significant impact on children’s lives. Thank you for taking on this important responsibility. May God bless you in this important journey. As you work to bring Adventurers and their families closer to Jesus, remember that God has a plan for you and each of the Adventurers that will be touched by your ministry. Permission Forms For insurance purposes it is essential that the church board approves all outings, and that parents/guardians complete a separate permission form prior to each outing

8. ADVENTURER FAMILY NETWORK PROGRAM- SEMINAR An important part of the Adventurer Club ministry is providing parents and guardians in your church, as well as your community, with a support network. The family network is an international way for the Adventurer club and the church family to provide support and training on parenting topics to parents and guardians THE FAMILY AND ADVENTURER CLUB The Adventurer Club exists for the purpose of supporting parents in the task of raising children for Jesus Christ. It does not seek to take over this responsibility for the parents or to exclude the parents from the activities of the children. For this reason, parents are an integral part of the Adventurer program from the MY FAMILY track in the children's class work to the FAMILY track designed especially for parents. Parents are welcomed and urged to take part in the life of the club. Besides regular parent meetings, they are welcome and valued at club meetings for their companionship, influence, and assistance. Many clubs ask parents to commit themselves to attending and assisting with at least one club meeting per quarter, in addition to the regular parent nights. THE FAMILY AND THE ADVENTURER CLASS WORK The world of the Adventurer-age child is centered around the family. In order to direct children's lives to God, the cooperation of the parents and family must be enlisted wherever possible. Where the Adventurer class work is taught outside of the home, parents should be made aware of the Adventurer program and its goals from the very beginning. A special parents meeting may be held, or letters sent home, to explain the goals and methods of the Adventurer curriculum. The MY FAMILY track, in particular, provides parents with an opportunity to take part in helping their children reach the Adventurer goals. Several letters are provided in the Instructor's Manual to introduce parents to specific parts of the Adventurer curriculum.

PURPOSE To teach successful parenting techniques and thereby receive god’s promised blessing. OBJECTIVE To emphasize the importance of parental accountability, authority, and responsibility of child training. FAMILY NETWORK PROGRAM 

DISCIPLINE Providing discipline for the Adventurer child is a positive contribution to his happiness and well-being. Discipline is not primarily punishment, but a way of helping the child to learn self-control and caring for others as a disciple of Jesus. • Model the behavior you want • Provide a peaceful, organized room • Be prepared • Set specific expectations • Consistently redirect misbehavior Role of Children in the Bible The following is quoted from the Ministers and Elders Handbook for Children’s Ministries, published by the General Conference 2005 “…..Children bring joy and blessings to adults. God provides may benefits to parents through parenting their children. [Num 5:28, Deut 28:4,11] Children need to be taught to develop a relationship with God. One of our greatest challenges is to pass on our beliefs and understanding of God to our children [Exod. 12:26,37; Deut 6:1-7; Prov 22:6] Children are so valuable to God that he commands us to protect them. Parents are to ensure the spiritual and physical safety of their children [1 Sam. 20:42; Ezra 8:21] ……..God enjoys the nature and personality of children and asks adults to learn from them. Scripture identifies attributes such as sincerity, humility, simplicity and trusting as qualities found in children and God treasures these characteristics [Matt 18:3; 19:4; Phil. 2:15]

9. ADVENTURER AWARDS SEMINAR

26 ADVENTURER STAFF TRAINING COURSE – 1ST TO 3rD /02/2019-EDDIE NGANDU

Philosophy and Objectives of the Adventurer Awards Each award is designed to be a course of study that introduces a subject. This subject should have practical value and should enhance the lifestyle of the person pursuing the award. Award study should assist the person in his/her development as a well-rounded Christian by directly affecting the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of life. The study of an award should direct the child to a deeper love of the Creator and should increase one’s interest in committing their life in service to God and to the community. Award study is intended to help the child’s spiritual character development. Therefore, every award should be designed to require high standards of excellence by clearly stating in all requirements what tasks are to be accomplished. Fulfilling the requirements should be interesting and fun, while at the same time providing the child with a sense of achievement. Because Adventurer awards are a part of a church-sponsored program, all facets of course study should be in harmony with basic church standards. For this reason award study would normally avoid topics with requirements calling for destruction of plant or animal life as well as types of armed of unarmed defense. Also, subjects should be avoided that could only be studied by a small group of people in a single local area. It is the purpose of all awards to help the child to “increase in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.” The Adventurer Club provides fun and creative ways for children. . . 1. To develop a Christ-like character; 2. To experience the joy and satisfaction of doing things well; 3. To express their love for Jesus in a natural way; 4. To learn good sportsmanship and strengthen their ability to get along with others; 5. To discover their God-given abilities and to learn how to use them to benefit self and serve others; 6. To discover God’s world; 7. To improve their understanding of what makes families strong; 8. To develop parental support for the training of children.
