To get the full benefit of this honor it is essential that you spend at least six months to a year working on it. You must choose a date to start this honor, and only projects started after this date will apply toward the honor.
1. Choose any two of the following and do them consistently for at least six months.
a. Read the Junior Morning Devotional book each day.
The Review and Herald Publishing Association puts out at least one Junior Devotional each year. You can see their offerings here.
b. Faithfully study your Sabbath School lesson each week.
Guide Magazine publishes a weekly Sabbath School lesson. If your church does not subscribe to it, talk to the Junior Sabbath School teacher or your Sabbath School Secretary. You can also download the lessons online from http://www.juniorpowerpoints.org/article.php?id=3
c. Faithfully follow the Jr. Bible Year reading plan.
You can read the entire Bible in one year by reading three chapters each day and five chapters on Sabbath. You can make this a part of your morning devotional.
d. Develop a personal prayer diary, listing people and requests you are praying for and answers to prayer.
A prayer journal is nothing more than a notebook that you use to document the things you pray about. You can also use a computer to keep your notes. It is best to keep your prayer journal private.
Make entries as often as you like, leaving room to record the answers to the prayers. Review prayer requests weekly and add any updates.
e. Plan and conduct at least one devotion a week.
The devotion can be with your family, friends, or Pathfinder club. One approach is to get a devotional book, read an entry to the participants, and then open it up for discussion. It's even better if you can think up a few questions to get things started.
2. Choose three from the following:
a. Send five homemade cards with personal messages, poems, or Bible verses to people who are in need of encouragement.
b. Visit ten or more people and invite them to a special church or Pathfinder event.
c. Choose a friend and visit someone who was absent from Sabbath School or church. Take them a card and homemade treat. Have a sharing time about this experience with your family and pray for this person.
d. For one month keep your bedroom clean, your bed made, and do at least three kindness projects for each parent that show that you love them.
e. Collect fifteen left-over Guides and pass them out to absent Sabbath School members, children in hospitals, laundromats, etc.
If you cannot get 15 leftover Guide's in one week, get as many as you can each week until you have passed out 15. Talk to your Junior or Earliteen Sabbath School teacher ahead of time. Some teachers already mail out the leftovers. If this is the case in your church, offer to take over that responsibility long enough to mail out the required number.
f. Take a cassette recording of your pastor's sermon and special music to a shut-in for three weeks.
Talk to your pastor or a local church elder to get a list of shut-ins who would appreciate the recording. If your church does not record the services, ask who ever is in charge of the audio system what it would take to get that started. If your church decides to acquire recording equipment for this purpose, recommend that they use a computer instead of a cassette deck. A computer capable of doing this costs about the same as a cassette duplicator, and blank CD's are now cheaper than blank cassettes (and blank cassettes are getting more and more difficult to find). CD's have other advantages as well:
- They allow you to split the various portions of the worship service into separate tracks
- You can use [audacity.sourceforge.net free audio editing software] to cut out the dead times
- You can upload the sermons to a website for podcasting (get permission from the speaker first).
- CD players are now more common than cassette players, especially in automobiles, where many people will choose to listen to them when they miss the church service.
