STUDENTS CONDUCT CREATION HEALTH EVANGELISTIC SERIES

by Lennie Schiefer
A one-week, student-led CREATION Health Evangelistic Series was held at the New Port Richey, Fla., Church by Pathfinder Club members and 4th-8th graders at New Port Richey Adventist Christian Academy. Average attendance was 55-60 each night with 18 individuals attending all of the holistic lifestyle meetings.
Seven students led the one-hour video and PowerPoint presentations while fellow Pathfinders, students, and friends participated in music, puppet, and greeter ministries. The puppet skits dramatized each of the eight CREATION Health principles, and the scripts were written by Pathfinders and staff under the direction of Puppet Ministry Leader Yvonne Suescun.
The seven student speakers were: Alexis Dusel, grade 4; Bryan Lankston, grade 8; Franlis Simeoli-Montalvo, grade 4; Santiago Ortiz, grade 8; Markley Richard, grade 7; Brittany Rodriguez, grade 7; and Myranda Rodriguez, grade 9. Serving as adult advisors, Lynn and Leann Hecht, youth ministries; Carol Koch, Pathfinders; and Al Cruz, Adventist Christian Academy Principal, provided encouragement to the students.
Ten adults have registered for follow-up small group meetings that will include an in-depth study of the eight principles of good health.
