LIFE ON FIRE Spotlight



 
Kevin Jose Diaz

G et to know Kevin:
- I am a Medical Technologist, and  served in the U.S. Army.
- I started in Adventurers, and continued on to Pathfinders.
- I'm 26 years old, and I still help out every opportunity I can.
- My dad is Jose Diaz, the State Varsity Director.
- This past year, I helped out around 7 churches with their drill teams - three of which were new to Red Zone.
- I attend Kissimmee Spanish, and am very passionate about Pathfinders and everything it stands for.
For me, living a Life on Fire means to live a life with God constantly on your mind, and constantly mentioning Him.
- You may never know what kind of impact your Life on Fire can have on people in your daily life, especially to Pathfinders who look to us as an example of how to have a Life on Fire for God.  We may not see the fruit of our example now, but by staying close to God, we can be sure that our example bears good fruit in the life of those Pathfinders.

News & Updates


New Adventurer Club Logo

Three years ago, the Adventurer Committee voted to have a complete review of the Adventurer program with a mandate that the Little Lamb and Eager Beaver programs become an integrated part of the Adventurer Ministry.  As part of this revision, the Committee went through a long process where the Director materials were updated, and each level of the program was reviewed and updated.

 

In March, the Adventurer Committee voted a new logo. This logo embodies the key elements of our Adventurer Ministry - Bible Based, Family Oriented, Focused on Jesus.

 


This new logo will be used on all the uniform and club pieces where the current logo is used. In addition, the specific uniform items for Little Lamb and Eager Beaver will be discontinued. Adventurers in all levels will used the same burgundy scarf, slide, world and uniform patch. The committee also voted a period of 5 years for clubs to change over to the new NAD Adventurer logo. The new uniform items will be available from AdventSource in August 2015.

 


YA Listening Session Report

YA Listening Sessions were held in four locations from March to May 2015.  Our goal was to give a chance to our Young Adults to share what was on their mind, and look for ways to move forward towards a vibrant YA ministry here in Florida.

 

We have finished preparing all the notes from the meetings and posted them (YA Listening Session Notes).
 

We encourage you to review them and see for yourself what our young people said. Also, we have a summary video with our Florida Conference President, Mike Cauley.

Finally, we have formed a YA Taskforce, about a dozen YAs that attended the Listening Sessions, and have committed to partnering with us moving forward.  We will continue to release updates to the link above.
