Welcome back from Club Camp! See the photos & Next Club Meeting 5/10
English:
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!
Español:
Soy Conquistador fuerte y fiel,
Un siervo de Dios you soy;
Fieles marcharemos ya
Por la senda del deber
Mensaje tenemos que dar,
Verdad que libertara,
Jesus muy pronto regresara
Por ti, por mi.
Francais:
Nous sommes les Explorateurs,
Les serviteurs du Seigneur;
Bons, loyaux et purs,
Marchant Fideles a la verite.
Nous voulons annoncer a tous
Un message liberateur,
Bientot des cieux revient le Sauveur
Pour moi, pour vous.
Oh we are the Pathfinders Strong
Meaning: 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
Meaning: 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
Meaning: Pathfinders serve God and show growing faith.
In kindness, truth, and purity
Meaning: 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
Meaning: 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
Meaning: 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
Meaning: 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!
