The Youth Ministry department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Chile launched “GTeen Route”, an annual project with missionary challenges, for children from 13 to 16 years old, that each local church can develop according to their local context during 2024.

“GTeen” (Teen Generation) responds to a project of discipleship, focused on the areas of communion, relationship and mission. The intention is that within each Sabbath School class for teenagers, systematic Bible study groups will become a GTeen norm.

The objective of this project is to enhance an identity of Seventh-day Adventist missionary teens, through small group meetings and share hope with friends through Bible study. To strengthen this purpose, the different challenges that harmonize the 2024 route were planned with a missionary focus, preparation and formation of new disciples of Christ who love the mission.

A Missionary Alliance

Chile's Adventist Voluntary Service (SVA) also decided to collaborate with the GTeen project to allow each teenager to prepare as a missionary and implement evangelistic and service projects in their community.

Participants follow a study curriculum titled “War, How to enlist in God's Army”, in their small groups. In addition, each particpant has a “missionary passport” that can be filled with adhesive images as they carry out the proposed missionary activities and challenges.

The new Gteen t-shirt was also presented that highlights the phrase “Living the mission” with elements characteristic of the entire country and also with a QR code that links to various resources for the development of the various Youth Ministry activities.
