1.ADVENTURER LEADERSHIP
Qualities of a leader
"He who cooperates with the divine purpose in imparting to the youth a knowledge of God, and molding
the character in harmony with His, does a high and noble work. He awakens a desire to reach God's
ideal, he presents an education that is as high as heaven and as broad as the universe" (Education, p.
19).
1. Love God supremely. It takes Christian leaders to produce Christian men and women. The
Adventurer leader's life is marked by Christ-centered living. He or she must model what he or she expects
Adventurers to become.
2. Love children sincerely. The only satisfactory motive for serving in the Adventurer Club is love for
children. This love will be expressed more in action than by words. The Adventurer notices when an adult
gladly shares time, energy and companionship. This love perseveres, even when the children are
unappreciative.
3. The Wolf in the wood- they may appear harmless – they are selecting
4. The Grandma- she let someone in to a safe place fooled by how they presented
themselves – she didn’t wait to check first
5. The Wolf in grandma’s clothing- they show an interest in the child, providing
attention which may be lacking at home, they appear to be safe
6. The Woodcutter- the adult who comes in the nick of time to save the child from
the ‘Wolf’- every adult has this responsibility, to be cautious and observant of the
child’s reactions and communication. Sadly for many children the ‘Woodcutter’
never comes
The Bible talks about ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing coming amongst the flock’, don’t
let it be your flock’
Points to remember
screen your volunteers well, wait for six months for anyone unknown to
you- it may be worth a call to their previous pastor or church
use the Conference or your own Child Safe policy to set up your standards
and make sure everyone knows them
The rule is at least two by two. don’t let your Adventurers go anywhere by
themselves
Question 1: What are the four body zones where no one should touch you?
Question 2: What should you do if someone touches you in a way that isn’t safe?
Question 3: What are some touches that make you feel good?
Question 4: Who are some people you trust that you would talk to if something made you
uncomfortable?
