...Youth At-Risk: Preventing Student Dropouts and Facilitating Reintegration A State of Israel Experience Full Paper Melfi M. Caranto. Technological Institute of the Philippines, Manila Overview of Israel’s Educational System The wellbeing of the youth is being taken as a serious national issue in Israel and they have done concrete actions about it. First of all, Israel has a very good educational structure and system. Education is free and compulsory from 1st to 12th grade. There is no private school in Israel because almost all of the school is supported by the state. It is very interesting to note that there is no student who repeats a term because of difficulty coping with lessons. They have a good team who are composed of a school counsellor, a home room teacher and a subject teacher who ensures that a student is getting the attention and the help that he/she needs to finish the term or the school grade where they belong. The Baggrut or the Matriculation examination is a very systematic way of assessing a student’s readiness to land on a decent job or go to college after serving the army. It is a must for all students to enter the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). After finishing the 12th grade (senior high school) boys have to serve in the army for three years while the girls should serve for two years.

...Joshua Roberts CM 101: Youth Ministry Philosophy & Leadership 17 May 2015 My Philosophy for Youth Ministry I believe that youth ministry is vital to the growth and effectiveness of the church—local and universal. In order for the church to grow, the adult generations of the church needs to insure the faith by training children and young adults “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord”(Ephesians 6:4). When the youth of the church are not taught the importance of a vibrant and active relationship with God, then the church will see its ranks become thin and aged. With age comes wisdom and experience, but with youth comes energy and determination. In order for the church to be effective it must see youth ministry as a vital part of the body. Since the church needs youth ministry, it is important that the youth ministry itself has a vision and structure to provide organization to reach goals and growth. I believe that youth ministry needs to focus on three key goals or values in order to be effective in the local church. These values are to connect, grow, and serve. These three values will provide structure and vision to ensure a healthy youth ministry. The first area that one should start with when building a youth ministry that will be profitable to the church and its families is connection. We need to make sure that our teens and parents of teens are connecting with God and others. Connecting with God is the base foundation that any believer should be building upon...

...I never thought God would call a girl who grew up in the country to take on his work in the big city. Through experiences, vision, prayer, school, and the Bible God has made it very apparent that he wants me to live side by side with the “least of these.” This Urban Ministry class has helped me tremendously; get a better understanding of ministry in the inner- city. Through reading, the Detroit experience, and personal research I have come to a more focused group of youth to work with in an inner city. Reading about the foster care system and juvenile justice system has given me a heart to love and help these children of God become all that God has created them to be. I plan to do this through leadership curriculum that teach the five P’s....

...Transformational Leadership and the Leader’s Leader- There are numerous people that I have received an abundant amount of influence from. In my life, I consider Pastor Eman as a transformational leader. His full name is Emmanuel Hernandez. I came to know Pastor Eman three years ago in Bakersfield, California, and ever since I met him I fell in love the way that he works with youth and manages to take youth out of their comfort zone in order to use their talents to their full extent. According to the chart on page 140 of the article “7 Transformations of Leadership”, in HBR’s 10 Must Reads on Leadership, I would label Pastor Eman as a strategist. He deals with conflict comfortably (p. 149 orange book 7TL [rooke and torbert]), he delegates power to his student leaders, he is passionate about creating personal relationships and organizational relations, and is interested in becoming involved in national and international developments. He is unwavering in his principles and values, and it is evident that he is a man that loves the youth ministry, his job. His passion is so overwhelming and contagious that youth and even adults will follow him and work with him in spite of chaotic or uncertain moments in life. Pastor Eman is a man that refused to conform to options given; he always...

My local church is known as “The Family Place.” Even as God created man out of a desire for a family, we win souls for Christ, then we share the love of family with them so that they remain rooted and grounded in Him. By embracing each person as a part of our family, we are able to build relationships that last a lifetime. In order to improve upon our church’s plan to develop disciples for Jesus Christ, the following disciple making plan will be presented to the senior leadership. This plan will include an in-depth evaluation of our vision, values, views, vehicles, and verifiers. This action plan will revitalize our evangelistic ministry by explaining the importance of each phase and how we can increase our overall effectiveness Vision According to Proverbs 29:18, where there is no vision, a ministry, which consists of people, will die. Thankfully, our...

...Activities WHAT IS THE PATHFINDER CLUB? The Pathfinder Club is a church-centered spiritual-recreational-activity based program which provides an outlet for the spirit of adventure and exploration that is found in every junior youth. This includes carefully tailored activities in outdoor living, nature exploration, crafts, hobbies, or vocations beyond the possibilities in an average Adventist Junior Youth Society. It is filled with action, adventure, challenge, group activities, and provides opportunities for the development of new activities and skills that produce personal growth, team or community spirit and a sense of loyalty and respect for God, His creation, and His Church. With this given setting, spiritual emphasis is well received, and the Pathfinder Club has well demonstrated its soul winning influence. In many local churches Pathfinder Clubs have replaced the traditional Adventist Junior Youth society, and where there is a church school the Pathfinder Club should supplement the work of the Adventist Junior Youth Society. Pathfinders in ActionA sampling of activities in the Pathfinder Club includes camporees, fairs, craft study, nature exploration, Bible Study, witnessing projects, field trips, and many other interesting adventures. Youth from ages 10-15 (and older) are eligible to become members of the Pathfinder Club through a special induction ceremony. The triangular emblem has been adopted internationally even though there is sometimes a change in the name...

...experience with persons of the same sex. Other young people have had sexual experiences with a person of the same sex but do not consider themselves lesbian, gay or bisexual. This is particularly relevant during adolescence because experimentation and discovery are normal and common during this developmental period. Lesbian, gay and bisexual adolescents follow developmental pathways that are both similar to and different from those of heterosexual adolescents. All teenagers face certain developmental challenges, such as developing social skills, thinking about career choices and fitting into a peer group. Like most heterosexual youths, most lesbian, gay and bisexual youths are healthy individuals who have significant attachments to and make contributions to their families, peers, schools and religious institutions. However, lesbian, gay and bisexual youth must also cope with the prejudice, discrimination and violence in society and, in some cases, in their own families, schools and communities. Such marginalization negatively affects the health,...

He had given them a useful occupation that will strengthen their body, expand their mind and develop their character. Generally, the students of highest education must be fitted more and more to fully reflect the light of the knowledge of His glory. God gave humans the power of choice. Sin was brought into the world when our fist parents chose to distrust God’s goodness, have disbelief of His word, and reject His authority. However, through redemption the communion with God is made possible again. Hence, the work of education and redemption are one. And the great principles of education are unchanged throughout ages for these principles are the character of God. God provided illustrations from history...

...humor. As I reflect on the background of my life, it is only to show how God allowed me to experience these things to be effective in reaching people just like my family and I. Having heard the Gospel at age 15, it brought me to a point of salvation. A woman from a local church had been mentoring me at the time and took me on a mission trip to Belize, Central America. On this trip, I said yes to following Christ. That decision changed the trajectory of my life. I went on to be the first in my family to graduate high school and then studied at a two-year Bible school to develop my knowledge of God. Afterward, I pursued higher education and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Theology from Oral Roberts University with a concentration on youth ministry. Coupled with my studies, I had a passion to spend the rest of my life rescuing young people who were just like...
