SENIOR YOUTH MINISTRY

AY PLEDGE
Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part in the work of the Adventist Youth
Society, doing what I can to help others and to finish the work of the gospel in all the
world.

Sir/Madam, on behalf of the candidates, I dedicate myself to the commitments of the AY Pledge.
1. Loving the Lord Jesus.
This introductory thought directs our minds toward the motto of Adventist youth. It is the
impelling force of the pledge and the movement of Adventist youth. The value of service for
the Master is measured by the love and dedication with which Adventist youth serve him.
Does the Lord Jesus completely direct the life?
• Sir/Madam, on behalf of the candidates, I dedicate myself to the commitments of the AY
Pledge.
2. I promise.
Promise means that I will not be dominated by someone else, but rather I am ready and willing
to follow the Lord’s leading. I understand that I have a purpose to which I must commit
myself. • This means that I will be available for action, and will decide for the best in my life.
• I will follow the proposed path with determination and will keep my eyes fixed on the goal. •
I know that our Master Guide Jesus counts on me to fulfill my promises completely.
• Sir/Madam, on behalf of the candidates, I dedicate myself to the commitments of the AY
Pledge.
3. To take an active part in the Adventist Youth Ministry Society.

7
 This means to be involved in the activities of the AY Society, including the meetings and
witnessing outreach. I will always be ready to help someone, and will support the AY Society
and church in various activities.
• Sir/Madam, on behalf of the candidates, I dedicate myself to the commitments of the AY
Pledge.
4. Doing what I can to help others.
This is a commitment that denotes readiness and dedication on behalf of others. It means to do
one’s best for a cause, and represents the greatest effort to help in every phase of activity within
the organization of the Adventist Youth Society and in the church. The true Adventist youth Is
always ready to take advantage of every opportunity to serve.
5. And to finish the work of the gospel in all the world.
This Is part of the Adventist Youth pledge that urges the youths to think of the AYS aim. It
represents the extension of the divine mandate of our Lord Jesus in a universal scope. It is a
challenge to the youth to understand the divine command. Adventist youth can help in four
different ways to finish the ask: Living consecrated lives, making themselves available for
every opportunity to serve, praying for the Lord’s work both locally and worldwide, and
giving sacrificially of their own financial means to spread the gospel and finish the Lord’s
work. Thus they enter into true stewardship, and giving.
