The Hopeful

Overview

This honor will encourage Pathfinders to actively explore “The Hopeful” movie that introduces early pioneers who became Seventh-day Advent messengers. Learn how they were a people of adventure and risk, inquisitive and passionate. Empathize with them as they experience hardship and loss, healing and hope. Build your own faith and trust in God as you see them become the founders of our church and help us understand the heritage of our amazing story. Reflect on how you can continue the Sabbath and Advent message in your surroundings today. Welcome aboard the journey.
