After two years of a world-wide pandemic that we now commonly refer to as COVID, it has been a slow re-start, but God is working with the Central States Conference Pathfinder leaders to motivate our young people again. Sister Rachel Banks, the CSC Pathfinder coordinator, has been diligently pouring into our Pathfinder leaders and Pathfinders to encourage and strengthen them to keep doing ministry to and with their young people.
In June 2022, the Master Guides and leaders came together to motivate each other, in order to help our clubs move forward in this post-pandemic period.
The Alfa y Omega Induction program from the South Omaha Spanish Church took place in May in Omaha, Nebraska. This vibrant Pathfinder club is led by Veronica Quevedo, who is doing an amazing job with the young people. Master Guide Cristian Castro helped to facilitate this ceremony.
Last September the Mountain Experience Church in Minnesota came together for a Pathfinder program to showcase their talents. This Pathfinder club has been one of our consistent and faithful clubs in the Central States Conference, and did very well in the Bible Experience program sponsored by the North American Division.
During the Veterans Day program in Kansas City, Missouri, the Beacon Light Trailblazers did a wonderful job bringing and posting the colors. Pathfindering has always been a way of involving our youth in ministry and service to God. It is also a way to involve our young people in the vision and mission of our local churches. We are looking forward to many more opportunities in 2023 where our Pathfinders can find more paths to do greater things for God.
