Becoming a World Changer entails a more important journey. For real World Changers, it involves the exciting journey of a lifetime. However, these World Changers had to start somewhere. That’s the purpose of this honour; to up-skill potential World Changers into the ranks of the real ones. It makes sense to plan this journey.
Many Pathfinder Honours can be successfully completed in a relatively short time; say a few days at most.

- a. Antes de conocer a Jesús
b. Encontrarse con Jesús (es decir, conversión)
c. Después de conocer a Jesús
Some Pathfinders may not have had a conversion experience and this could become quite intimidating for them. The option of writing out someone else’s testimony may relieve the stress for some Pathfinders. Other Pathfinders may feel that they have always loved Jesus and may not have had a memorable conversion moment in their lives. Another way of explaining a testimony is to ask the question: "Has there been a time when Jesus became a personal friend? When your faith became personal to you? It could have been at a summer camp, an outreach program, or at church."
There are many young people who feel they need to have a dramatic life and a dramatic change to become a Christian. This is not true. What better testimony that the life of a young person who have always loved Jesus. Share the stories of Bible heroes like Samuel, Joseph, Daniel and others who stood tall even in their youth for Jesus. These can be great teaching moments during your teaching time. Assure all within your group, that no matter what their journey Jesus loves them and wants to help them with their lives. Another great way to help a person is to ask them: How has Jesus been good to you. This will open up many stories that are worth sharing. The point here is that every young person can know and have a lovely testimony without having to leave the church.

The Bridge Connection:
Gospel in Colours:
Black - Everyone messes up and falls short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23).
Red - The blood of Jesus shed at the cross is evidence of the lengths God is willing to go to show His love (John 3:16).
White - If we are willing to apologise, God is willing to forgive and cleanse us (1 John 1:9).
Green - We can continue to grow in a relationship with Him (2 Peter 3:18).
Yellow - God has promised to take anyone who has a relationship with Him home to heaven (John 14:1–3).
The ABCs of the Gospel:
A-dmit you are a sinner.
B-elieve completely that Jesus died for you, so that by asking for forgiveness, you can accept the gift of eternal life.
C-hoose to turn away from anything that keeps you from having a strong ongoing relationship with Jesus and share His story with others.
The Gospel in Three Circles:
Circle 1: We’re all born broken. We live in a broken world. (Brokenness)
Circles 2: But God originally designed us with a purpose (God's design) and we lived in God's purpose unbroken for a while.
Arrow 1: But when humanity sinned (arrow from God's design to our brokenness), which led to our brokenness. We try to get out of our brokenness by being good, successful, going to church, addictions.
Circle 3: We cannot get out of our brokenness, so God sent Jesus Christ. He led a perfect life and He willingly died on a cross in our place. He rose again and conquered death, then returned to heaven.
Arrow 2: The Bible says, if we turn from our sin and believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again, we will live.
Arrow 3: As believers in Jesus, we will be able to recover God's design and pursue His purpose for our life. Our role is to share the gospel with others who also need salvation and restoration.
Appeal: You can close the conversation with a question like: "Which circle would you like to be in, brokenness or God's design?" If your friend is still in a state of brokenness, invite your friend to recover God's design for his or her life by turning and believing that Jesus died for their sin and brokenness. If they are willing or interested, begin Discovery Bible Readings with them and lead them into a better understanding of God and His will for their lives. You can also ask them to share their story with a friend, for example: "Who will you tell now that you have become a follower of Jesus?"
