Felix Cadevilla
Get to know Jordan:
- Felix is currently a student at Valencia Collage.
- His hobbies include Sports and Camping.
- Felix is a member of the Orlando Spanish SDA Church, where he is involved in several ministries - Youth, Pathfinders, Audio Visual, and Deacon.
- When asked what it means to him to live a Life on Fire, Felix says, "To have a Life on Fire is practically saying 'ouch' when something is hot. What I mean is, that we should always be warm with our faith and not cold. We should show our light/fire to the world, and always be different. So when someone sees you, or is around you, they will feel and see how Christ is in your life. They will see how different you are to this world. They'll see Jesus' presence. That is what a Life on Fire is to me."

We look forward to additional teams being added to the list - Central 1st place teams and teams from the Florida 'Wild Card Incentive.' This is where teams who scored 2nd place are put in a 'wild card' position.
After all area level run-offs are completed, the top score is taken from each area. Then, based on a curve of those three scores, it is determined which of the 2nd place teams will advance to the state level.

Letter From Pastor Rudy Alvir
Greetings Team!
I want to express my gratitude for your support in advancing the cause of Jesus Christ through Youth Ministry in the Florida Conference.
I also want to share with you that the Lord is calling me to serve in a different capacity as an Associate Ministerial Director (still here in South Florida). My family and I have prayed, and we invite you to join us in prayer as we begin this new endeavor.
It has been a blessing and a humbling experience to work with such a committed group of Christians, watching how the Lord performs miracles through all of you as you serve the Lord in this field.
We will still be working together; we have the same passion of seeing young people get closer to Jesus!
I will be working in both the Ministerial and Youth Ministries through March 19. After that, I will move over to the Ministerial Department.
Serving you always,
Pastor Rodolfo Alvir-Abraham

New Drum Ribbon Bar
|
|
Pathfinders - Trade in your old Drum Ribbon Bars for a new bar at no cost. Either bring in your old drum ribbon bar to the office, or to any Area Youth Council meeting, and we will exchange your old bar with a new one.
Why a new bar? We have unknowingly been using a ribbon bar that the military currently uses. Our Pathfinder Uniform policy is not to use any military insignia on our uniforms. Please immediately remove your current Drum Ribbon Bar from your uniform, and turn it into the Conference Office.
This free Drum Ribbon Bar exchange offer is good until the end of March. The last day to exchange for free is Thursday, March 31, 2016. Beginning on April 1st, we will still collect your old Drum Ribbon Bars, but you will need to pay for the new ones.
