Investiture Achievement/Companion/Personal Growth/Requirement 1/es
The Companion level has been designed to be within reach of a person in the sixth/es grade or higher. It should be challenging, yet achievable for a child at this point in his or her formal education.
|
Requisito 2a |
|
Estudiar la guía devocional semanal (semanas 14 a 26) y el libro de Génesis utilizando recursos impresos o electrónicos. |
Guía Devocional Semanal
El propósito de este requisito es que el Conquistador conecte con Dios cada día y ayudar a establecer las devociones personales para toda la vida. No es para que se haga como un maratón y sentarse y leer los más posible en una vez. Al leer la guía devocional de trece semanas, el Conquistador debe obtener una perspectiva más amplia de la Biblia. Pueden utilizar sus Biblias, computadoras u otros dispositivos electrónicos o de audio para completar este requisito.
Además de los estudios temáticos: Amigos son introducidos a nuestro amigo Jesús a través de los relatos de Mateo. Compañeros aprenden acerca de los orígenes del mundo a través de Génesis. Exploradores exploran a la iglesia primitiva en los Hechos. Orientadores vuelven a la historia de Jesús en Juan. Viajeros experimentan de la salvación como lo explica Pablo en Romanos. Guías cubren la profecía del tiempo del fin y los acontecimientos en el Apocalipsis.

Requisito 2b |
|
Llevar un diario con sus pensamientos por medio de hacer estas preguntas:
Puede llevar su diario por medio de escribir, dibujar o procesos electrónicos. |
Las preguntas deben ser hechas en relación con los textos bíblicos leídos en el Requisito 2a. El punto de que el Conquistador responda estas preguntas es para animarle a pensar sobre el texto de una manera diferente que tal vez no haya hecho antes. Es fácil leer un pasaje largo y ni siquiera pensar en él. Llevar un diario ayudará a prevenir esto.
La manera en que se lleva el diario se debe dejar al Conquistador.
Escribir
Algunas personas le es más cómodo escribir las cosas. Esto se puede hacer con un lápiz (o bolígrafo) y con un papel en un cuaderno, en un diario, en un procesador de textos, o incluso en un blog o una publicación en una red social.
Dibujar
Algunos niños no les gusta escribir y resistirán fuertemente. Ellos tal vez prefieren ilustrar los conceptos, y esa es una forma válida para documentar sus pensamientos.
Procesos Electrónicos
El Conquistador puede optar por escribir sus entradas de diario en un procesador de textos, un blog o una red social. Aunque se puede considerar estas entradas como escribir o un «proceso electrónico», hay otras opciones disponibles. Por ejemplo, los Conquistadores tal vez quieran hacer una grabación de audio o de video de sus pensamientos. Si ellos tienen el equipo, se debe animar esto. Si no se sienten cómodos compartiendo el material con el club, no los obligue hacerlo.

Requisito 3a |
|
Recitar el voto y la ley del Conquistador de memoria. |
El Voto del Conquistador está a continuación. Debe ser cantado al comienzo de cada reunión regular de Conquistadores. A finales del año Conquistador, cada Conquistador que asiste regularmente sabrá el voto de memoria sin ningún esfuerzo adicional.
Voto del Conquistador
| Voto | Significado |
|---|---|
| Por la gracia de Dios | Solo al confiar en Dios para que me ayude, puedo hacer Su voluntad. |
| Seré puro | Llenaré mi mente con las cosas que son correctas y verdaderas y pasaré mi tiempo en actividades que construyan un carácter fuerte y limpio. |
| Seré bondadoso | Seré considerado y amable no solo con mis semejantes sino también con toda a creación de Dios. |
| Seré leal | Seré honesto y honrado en el estudio, trabajo y juego y siempre se puede contar que haré mi mejor esfuerzo. |
| Guardaré la Ley del Conquistador | Buscaré entender el significado de la ley y me esforzará para vivir según su espíritu, dándome cuenta que obedecer la ley es esencial en cualquier organización. |
| Seré siervo de Dios | Me prometo a mí mismo que serviré en primer lugar, en último lugar y de la mejor manera a Dios en todo lo que se me pida ser o hacer. |
| Seré amigo de la humanidad. | Viviré para bendecir a otros y hacer en ellos lo que me gustaría que hicieran por mí. |
Para hacer algo diferente, haga el voto y la ley en lenguaje de señales.
Ley del Conquistador
Cada joven debe tener un código por el cual da forma a su vida. Para los jóvenes adventistas, el Voto y la Ley es ese código. Estos deben ser aprendidas y sus principios puestos en práctica.
La Ley del Conquistador me manda a:
| Ley | Significado |
|---|---|
| Observar la devoción matutina | Oraré y estudiaré la Biblia cada día. |
| Cumplir fielmente con la parte que me toca | Por el poder de Dios ayudaré a otros y haré mi trabajo y mi honesta parte, dondequiera que esté. |
| Cuidar mi cuerpo | Seré temperante en todas las cosas y buscaré alcanzar los altos estándares de la condición física. |
| Tener una mirada franca | No mentiré, haré trampa o engañaré, y despreciaré los pensamientos malos y las malas palabras. |
| Ser cortés y obediente | Seré amable y atento con otros, reflejando el amor de Jesús en todas mis relaciones con los otros. |
| Andar con reverencia en la casa de Dios | En cualquier ejercicio devocional estaré callado, cuidadoso y reverente. |
| Conservar una canción en el corazón | Estaré alegre y contento y dejaré que la influencia de mi vida sea un rayo de sol para los otros. |
| Trabajar para Dios | Siempre estaré listo para compartir mi fe e ir a hacer el bien como lo hizo Jesús. |
|
Requisito 3b |
|
Estudiar el significado del voto y la ley del Conquistador. |
Voto
A good time to address this requirement is just before the Induction Ceremony. At this time, the Companion class should re-study the pledge and law, and dive deeper into its meaning. Then during the Induction, those Companions who were inducted during the previous year can be assigned to explain a point of the pledge and law to the new inductees.
- Investiture Achievement/Companion/Personal Growth
- I will be pure
- The Pathfinder will avoid those things which lead into temptation, and seek to fill himself with heavenly thoughts rather than worldly pleasures (see Philippians 4:8). This means the Pathfinder will avoid such things as dirty jokes, pornography, lewd or crude entertainment, and gossip. Being pure is the same thing as being holy - set aside for a special purpose. The Sabbath is holy because it has been set aside as a special day for us to spend with our Creator. We do not pollute the Sabbath with thoughts of work and toil. Samuel was set aside as pure from before his birth. As a Nazarite, he did not pollute his life with wine (or any grape products). A Pathfinder will set himself aside for the Lord and not pollute his life with impure things.
- I will be kind
- The Pathfinder will place the needs of others above the needs of the self. This means holding doors open for others, allowing others to go first in line, taking the smallest cookie, etc. It means relieving the suffering of others, including not only people, but animals as well. It means making friends with new kids and making them feel welcome and part of the group.
- I will be true
- Being true means "practicing what you preach." That means that our actions are not in contradictions with our professed ideals. We do what we say. This was the charge Jesus laid against the Pharisees. They would say one thing, but do something else.
- "For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness." (Matthew 23:27 NKJV)
- I will keep the Pathfinder Law
- The Pathfinder will adopt the Pathfinder Law as a way of life. It will be observed and respected at all times, not just during Pathfinder meetings and events.
- I will be a servant of God
- The Pathfinder will make Jesus the Master of his life. A servant does not do what he himself wishes, but rather does as his master commands. To be a servant of God means setting aside one's own will and seeking the will of God. When people think they are serving themselves, they are really serving Satan.
- I will be a friend to man
- The Pathfinder will seek to help others. A properly-functioning Pathfinder Club will engage in community service on a regular basis. The purpose of this community service is to help our fellow men. The service is not limited to the members of the Pathfinder Club or even to the members of the church. It is to serve the community outside the church.
Law
- Keep the Morning Watch
- This means that the Pathfinder will devote time to studying the Bible every day. Taking time for devotional study as the first thing in the morning sets the course and tone for the day. However, more important than the time of the study is the study itself.
- Do my honest part
- The Pathfinder will perform every task to the best of his or her ability. The Pathfinder will follow the spirit of the law rather than just the letter of the law. This is especially true as it applies to IA or Honor requirements.
- Care for my body
- Because the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19), the Pathfinder will always strive to take the best care of it. This means that the Pathfinder will get plenty of exercise, maintain a healthy diet, and avoid drugs, tobacco, and alcohol.
- Keep a level eye
- The Pathfinder will always tell the truth so that he may look others straight in the eye without a downcast face. If a Pathfinder makes a mistake, he admits it and seeks to correct it rather than trying to hide it from others.
- Be courteous
- The Pathfinder will treat others courteously. This includes people of all ages, young and old, as well as animals.
- Be obedient
- The Pathfinder will obey those who are placed in authority over him. This includes parents, Pathfinder leaders, and teachers. However, the Pathfinder must always obey God first.
- Walk softly in the sanctuary
- The Pathfinder will treat the church sanctuary as a holy place, because that is what it is. A Pathfinder knows that the sanctuary is not a place for horseplay, joking around, or running. It is a place where people come to worship the Lord.
- Keep a song in my heart
- The Pathfinder will remain cheerful even when circumstances dictate otherwise. A useful model of this behavior is that of Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-34. The result of their cheerfulness was the salvation of an entire household.
- Go on God's errands
- The Pathfinder will seek to do the Lord's will. If he is called to cut grass for an elderly person, he will rush to do this. If he is asked to read the scriptures during the worship service, he will answer "yes." The Pathfinder will remember the words of Isaiah when he said, "Here I am, send me!" (Isaiah 6:8)
Investiture Achievement/Companion/Personal Growth/es/requirement 4a
The Pathfinder Song should be sung during the opening ceremonies at the beginning of each regular Pathfinder Meeting. By the end of the year, every Pathfinder in regular attendance will know the song without any additional effort on their or on the instructor's part.
The words to the song are below, and a link to the sheet music can be found after that.
Oh, we are the Pathfinders Strong,
The servants of God are we
Faithful as we march along,
In kindness, truth, and purity
A Message to tell to the world
A truth that will set us free!
King Jesus the Savior's coming back
For you, and me!
Oh We Are the Pathfinders Strong Sheet Music with Guitar Chords
Investiture Achievement/Companion/Personal Growth/es/requirement 4b
Meaning
Before the meaning of the Pathfinder Song can be illustrated, it must be understood.
- Oh we are the Pathfinders Strong
- The Pathfinders are not the General Conference, Division, Union, or local Conference leadership. Yes, those people are Pathfinders, and they contribute greatly to the program, but without the children in the local clubs, there would be no Pathfinders. We are the Pathfinders. And we are strong. As Pathfinders, we make an impact in our church and community. Pathfinders is one of the more visible arms of our church, and without them, many people would not know that a Seventh-day Adventist Church met in their communities.
- The servants of God are we
- Pathfinders seek to do the will of the Creator. We look to Him for guidance and direction by reading His written word in the Bible. When we understand His will, we then seek to do it to the best of our ability.
- Faithful as we march along
- Pathfinders serve God and show growing faith.
- In kindness, truth, and purity
- The astute Pathfinder will immediately recognize that this phrase comes directly from the Pathfinder Pledge. Kindness, truth, and purity are central to the Pathfinder mission. Pathfinders look for opportunities to help others. They put the needs of others ahead of their own, and they do this in every aspect of their lives (not just at Pathfinder meetings)
- A message to tell to the world
- Once Pathfinders have the attention of their community, and once that attention is positive, the community will more readily receive from them the good news of the gospel. While the message goes out to the entire world, it does so one community at a time.
- A truth that will set us free
- When the community accepts the message, they will be set free from the bondage of sin.
- King Jesus the Savior's coming back for you and me
- The "good news" is that we can have eternal life in Jesus. When an end is made of sin, those who have placed their faith in Jesus will be freed not only from sin, but from death which is caused by sin. Eternal life!
Illustration
An illustration is something that clarifies or proves a point. Its literal meaning is "to cast light upon." Jesus illustrated many truths through His parables - stories which helped people to understand His message. The requirement to illustrate the meaning of the Pathfinder Song is an opportunity for the Pathfinders to use their imaginations. There are many approaches to illustration, including:
- Art projects
- Drawing
- Painting
- Diorama
- Sculpture
- Comic book
- Collage
- Poster
- Drama
- Skit
- Movie
- Puppet show
- Mime play (silent acting with narration or music)
- Other
- Photography slide show
- Sign Language
- PowerPoint or compatible multimedia presention
- Blog post with text and pictures
