1. Week of Adventist Youth Evangelism in Brooklyn (June 21-28 @ Spanish Central Brooklyn): The Week of Youth Evangelism in Brooklyn will take place, beginning this Saturday night, June 21 to June 28, 2008 at the Spanish Central Brooklyn Seventh-day Adventist Church located at: 130 Boerum St, Brooklyn NY, 11206-2625. The speaker for this special youth evangelism journey will be Abraham Henry.

The services will be Bilingual, the sermons will be preached in English with translation to Spanish. We encourage youth and young adults from all the churches in Brooklyn to take advantage of this spiritual experience. In order for the week to be successful, youth and young adults must bring their friends, colleagues, and family members with them, those who are not Christians or have not been baptized yet, must attend. This will not be a regular week of prayer, it is a week of youth evangelism; where young people, together with the preacher will work so more young people will accept Jesus and be baptized.

There will be another Week of Youth Evangelism in Brooklyn; it will be announced as soon as we have all the details. The AY Coordinators and several pastors in Brooklyn are working on it as we speak.

A church construction project was begun last year and it is about to be completed this year.

5. Mission Trip to Mexico (July 28 to August 5): Between 80 to 100 young adults, teens, and adults will be going in this Mission Trip. There is still room, but not too much room available. If you are planning to come on the trip or your church is planning to sponsor someone for this trip, you must act quickly and sign up, very soon. Due to the dramatic recent increase on airfares, the price of the Trip has change. The cost for students registering now is $950.00 and for adults/professionals is $1,000.00.

A Mission Trip can change the lives of Teens and Young Adults in your church. If you have Teens or Young Adults who are interested in going, you must contact us and make arrangements.

The objectives are: church construction in Region 104, Cancun, a very poor area of the city; Vacation Bible School at Region 104, Cancun; as well as a Vacation Bible School in an area where the Adventist Church has not yet entered, a village of Mayan Indians. Our purpose is to plant a Seventh-day Adventist Church in the village.
