1

Jesús entendió las necesidades de su comunidad porque salió y vio sus necesidades. Leer Mateo 9:35-38.

Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
-- Matthew 9:35-38 (NKJV)

2

Seleccionar un barrio urbano o suburbano, una pequeña ciudad o una región rural donde se enfoque en la realización de los requisitos para esta especialidad.

Because this is your community, you should have some idea of where the greatest needs are. Match the size of the area on which you focus with the resources you have available, but don't forget that the Lord will provide for His own work.

3

Recopilar una carpeta de información sobre la comunidad seleccionada, incluyendo:

If you live in the United States, most of this information can be gathered from the U.S Census Bureau at http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml Just go there and enter a zip code. Working at a Zip Code level is going to be the easiest.

In Canada you will want to check Statistics Canada by Postal Code (quite a small area), Postal Code Range, or Urban Area.

Información de la clase de vivienda

Housing information includes data such as the percentage of houses units that are apartments, single family homes, lot size, and whether the home is rented or owned. Single-family homes on large lots in urban areas indicates a higher level of income.

3f

Medio ambiente y transporte

Environmental data includes such things as the amount of land set aside for conservation or public access. Transportation includes figures such as the number of people who drive to work alone, carpool, walk, use public transportation, or work from home. It also includes the availability of public transportation (subway, bus service, etc).

4

Con un patrocinador adulto, tomar un paseo de evaluación a pie o por carro a través de una parte específica de la comunidad seleccionada con el objetivo en mente de ver las necesidades humanas del lugar. Hacer una lista de todas las necesidades que se observa tales como patios y zonas que podrían ser limpiados, la basura que podría ser recogida, personas solitarias o de edad que podrían ser ayudados, las familias de bajos ingresos con niños que pudieran ser ayudados, etc.

This requirement will have to be planned well ahead of its execution. You will need signed permission slips for all the Pathfinders as well as a plan for transportation. Transportation could be as simple as walking around the neighborhood outside your church, or it could mean loading everyone up into vehicles and driving around.

If your club participates in a can collecting drive, you could do your awareness walk as you collect food.

When you are out looking around, here are some things to note:

• Homelessness
  • Tents pitched in public places, in wooded areas along roadsides, etc
  • Disheveled people sitting on park benches, etc
  • People holding signs saying "Homeless" at street corners
  • Panhandlers
• Unattended children
• Houses in disrepair
  • Broken windows
  • Houses needing paint
  • Overgrown lawns
• Litter
• Graffiti
• Unmaintained parks

Preguntarle a un líder comunitario o un profesional en la comunidad sobre las necesidades en la comunidad, las diversas organizaciones que prestan servicios en la comunidad y cómo un grupo de jóvenes cristianos pueden hacer una contribución a la comunidad. Tomar notas durante la entrevista.

Requisito alternativo: Invitar a un líder comunitario o un profesional en la comunidad para hacer una presentación a su club de Conquistadores, grupo juvenil o iglesia para hablar sobre estos temas. Tomar notas durante la presentación.

Estas personas tienen una gran cantidad de conocimientos sobre las necesidades y los servicios locales; están familiarizados con las organizaciones profesionales y voluntarios locales que operan en su área.

6

Hacer una presentación de al menos 10 minutos a un comité de la iglesia local, organización de servicios comunitarios, su unidad o club de Conquistadores, o un grupo similar. Esta presentación debe incluir un informe de la información que recolectó y por lo menos tres sugerencias de proyectos que los Servicios Comunitarios Adventistas local (en los Estados Unidos), ADRA Canadá (en Canadá), grupo YES o club de Conquistadores pueda proporcionar que son necesarios en esta comunidad.

Don't be nervous about presenting before a group of people. Whether it is to the church board or to your unit, nobody there is watching and waiting for you to make a mistake. Most will be genuinely interested in seeing you succeed with your presentation. The church board will be very impressed with your desire to serve the Lord.

Make sure you prepare ahead of time. You can outline your presentation on a sheet of paper, or perhaps even prepare a slide show with your talking points. If you do prepare a slide show, make sure that it's not just a huge wall of text. If that's what you end up with, you would be better off with notes you look at yourself.

The most important thing to do during your presentation is to relax. Remember, it is not your plans and you that will be accepted or rejected, but rather, it is the Lord's plans. He can deal with it. All you need to do is present it.
