Excitement is building as the stage is set for a live conversation between Pastor Jan Paulsen and 50 young people, ages 16 to 21, to be telecast from the Adventist Media Productions studios Aug. 21.
Youth comprise an important and vital segment of the membership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, according to Paulsen, world church president. “They represent in large measure the future of this church. I want to talk with them, share and listen to their concerns and seek their support,” he adds.
The in-studio audience will represent only a portion of young adults, and the “questions are not being rehearsed,” organizers of this unprecedented global Adventist television event say. An estimated 500 delegates from 14 nations attending a church youth congress in Barbados will view the program live, says Baraka Muganda, world youth director of the church.
Adventist Television Network will broadcast the one-hour show, called “Let’s Talk,” live to the Americas at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time and 7:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Aug. 21, and global rebroadcasts by ATN are planned. A Web site, www.meettheprez.com, has attracted hundreds of questions from youth in 40 countries, and requests are already being expressed for a similar event to be produced in other areas of the globe.
Viewers can also watch “Let’s Talk” online at www.meettheprez.com, and a transcript of the program will be available at this Web address after the event.
