CLARIFICATION

Since the MGC is a program developed by the Youth Ministry department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, this manual presents an implicit emphasis for the inclusion and support in church leadership of senior youth and young adults. Also with this goal, an appendix is included at the end of this Manual (see Appendix A).

CHARACTERISTICS OF A FRIENDLY MINISTRY FOR MILLENNIALS

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I

have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one

another.” John 13:34-35(NKJV)

“A young adult put it to me this way to explain how he and his

friends feel about the Sabbath. He said, “I can download a great

sermon. I cannot download a great relationship.”” (Pr Ron Whitehead)

“By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in

need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”

1 John 3:16-18(NKJV)

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy

Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.”

Mathew 28:18-20

“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit

orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from

the world.”James 1:27

“I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them

from the evil one.”John 17:15

Purpose: Acts of Kindness
