As the Adventist world church celebrates the centennial year of the Master Guide ministry, more than five hundred Master Guides in Jamaica gathered for a special rally at the Northern Caribbean University (NCU) Gymnatorium on August 27, 2022.
The youth leaders drawn from across the five conferences that comprises the Jamaica Union gathered under the theme “Ignited for Mission: I Will Go.” The event catered to both active and inactive Master Guides as well those in training, with the aim of motivating them to serve confidently in their churches, clubs, and communities.
In his address, Pastor Everett Brown, president of the church in Jamaica, reminded youth leaders of the influential role they play in completing the mission of the church.

“I am excited because you are that trained body of workers – Master Guides, who will carry the light of the gospel to draw back to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, our young people who have wandered away,” said Brown.
The rally comes ahead of the 5th staging of the Inter-American Pathfinder Camporee, themed “Pathfinders in Mission”, which will be held for the first time in an English-speaking territory, April 4-8, 2023.
