Adventurers at Nairobi Central is part of a worldwide
programme organised and directed by the Youth Ministries Department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Catering for young people between the age of 6 and 9 (and/or in Year 1-4 or equivalents).
Adventurers offers a wide range of learning experiences that are designed to shape positive values and enable children to
reach their full potential.
The Adventurer Club exists for the purpose of supporting
parents in their task of raising children for Jesus Christ. It does not seek to take over this responsibility from the parents
or to exclude the parents from the activities of the children.
Above all, it's to help them to learn to love God,
as their Personal Saviour. The course offers 4 levels, Busy Bee, Sunbeam, Builders and Helping Hands.
The aim of the Adventurers Club is to have children
gain a positive attitude toward the benefits, joys and responsibilities of living a Christian life. Children will acquire
the habits, skills and knowledge needed to live for Jesus today. Parents and other primary care-givers will become more confident
and effective in their role as collaborators with Christ for their children.
Our Adventurers Club gets together every second Sunday
in the morning, and occasionally on Sunday mornings for special excursions. For more information about joining our Adventurers
Club, call Nairobi
Central SDA Church on (254) 2721461. You're more
than welcome!

The Adventurer program was created toassist parents in their important responsibili-ties
as a child’s primary teachers andevangelizers. The program aims tostrengthen the parent/child relationship andto further
the child’s development in spiri-tual, physical, mental, and social areas.Through the Adventurer Program, thechurch,
home, and school can work togetherwith the parent to develop a mature, happychild.The church’s greatest resource is
ourchildren; therefore, it is imperative that as achurch we meet the challenge to provide aprogram for our children during
their early,formative years. We want right habits,thoughts, motives, dispositions, and attitudesto be established. The Wise
Man wrote,“Bring up a child in the way he should go,and when he is old he will not turn from it.”Prov. 22:6 (NIV).
This is more than acliché—it is a scientific formula.
The Adventurer Club involves children ingrades 1-4 and their parents. The program-ming
and planning for Adventurers shouldbe simple and short, but creative. Parentalinvolvement provides opportunities forparents
to participate in the learning experi-ence.One of the Adventurer Club objectives isto provide a meaningful and excitingexperience
as the children look forward withanticipation to some day being Pathfinders. |
