MASTER GUIDE CAMPOREE
The theme for the Camporee is Jesus, “USE ME.” The Bible Character selected is Elijah, which is remembered for calling Gods people to worship the only thru God.
The Master Guide (MG) Ministry is one of the leadership programs that the General Conference Youth Ministries Department uses to train people for youth leadership. The Master Guide helps the Adventurer, Pathfinders, TLTs, AY or Youth Ministries of the local church and/or conference in leadership training, discipleship, and outreach endeavors. The Master Guide Ministry is not an extension of the Pathfinder program, it is a Youth Ministry Leadership Program in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
