Christian greetings from the North East Jamaica Youth Ministries Department. We are using this medium to inform/remind you of the following events on the Youth Ministries Calendar for 2024 and hope that you will encourage the youth of your church to actively participate in them as you continue to show your unwavering support for this ministry.
1. Annual Subscriptions for the Youth Federation: Churches are reminded that subscriptions are due. The cost is $2,500 for churches with less than 300 members and $3,000 for those with more than 300 members. Pathfinder and Adventurer clubs are also asked to pay an annual fee of $2000 per club which should accompany the registration documents.
2. Delroy Gordon Training Institute 2024 Training Programme Launch: The launch and consecration service will be on February 24, 2024, at the Dover Church starting at 4:00 pm with registration at sunset. The first Basic Staff Training (BST) session will be online on February 25, followed by a face-to-face session on March 3, 2024. Please encourage all untrained youth leaders to enrol
3. Global Youth and Children's Day will be Sabbath, March 16, 2024, and will be under the theme: Show Up: In the Cities. Churches are being asked to impact their communities in the morning and as a Conference, we will ‘Show Up’ in Port Maria for our Conference impact. Please begin to plan for this worldwide Youth Ministries and church event as we seek to be the sermon and show God’s love and care to all around us. T-Shirts are for sale. See the flyer and order link.
4. Bible Connection is about helping our youth reconnect with the word of God and the Spirit of prophecy. As such we encourage all churches and Adventist Youth Societies to include this programme as a regular part of your weekly programming. We encourage all to get involved in this bible reconnection experience. The books being studied for this year are Genesis and Patriarchs and Prophets. Please speak with your AY Leader to verify which chapters and books you will need to study.
5. Easter Camp is on for 2024 after 4 years of absence and it promises to be a great experience for our youth. Please plan and save for the upcoming event. The details will be given shortly.
Thank you for your support during 2023 and we anticipate its continuance in 2024.
Yours in the Master’s service,
Raymond E. Douglas

TITHING PRINCIPLES
7. The Tithe is Holy even as the Sabbath is Holy.
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed or the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.
Leviticus 27:30.
Leviticus 27:32.
“The very same language is used concerning the Sabbath as in the law of the tithe: ‘The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.’ Man has no right nor power to substitute the first day for the seventh... In like manner a tithe of our income is ‘holy unto the Lord.’ The New Testament does not reenact the law of the tithe, as it does not that of the Sabbath; for the validity of both is assumed, and their deep spiritual import explained.”
Counsels on Stewardship, 66.
Books are still available for sale and will be sold at Officers’ Council tomorrow. The Publishing Department will also have other books on sale.
Contact the North East Jamaica Conference Publishing Department office for prices.
I am more anxious to see a wide circulation for this book than for any others … for in The Great Controversy, the last message of warning to the world is given more distinctly than in any of my other books.
