The theme for 2025 year’s GYD is “ACT: A Community Transformed,” is a call to action that goes beyond a simple slogan. According to General Conference youth leaders, the theme represents the church’s response to God’s Great Commission, which emphasizes that He is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9, NKJV).
Men and women of experience should understand that this is a time of especial danger for the young. Temptations surround them on every hand; and while it is easy work to float with the current, the strongest effort is required to press against the tide of evil. It is Satan’s studied effort to secure the youth in sin, for then he is more sure of the man. The enemy of souls is filled with intense hatred against every endeavor to influence the youth in the right direction. He hates everything which will give correct views of God and our Saviour, and his efforts are especially directed against all who are placed in a favorable position to receive light from heaven. He knows that any movement on their part to come in connection with God, will give them power to resist his devices. Those who are at ease in their sins, are safe under his banner. But as soon as efforts are made to break his power, his wrath is aroused, and he commences in earnest his work to thwart the purpose of God, if possible. CE 26.3

Who are the poor according to Pope Francis? THEY CAN’T BREATHE! ‘ The Poor and the fragility of the planet’
The environmental responsibility initiative calls for a clause requiring that the Swiss economy – including what it imports – “operates within the limits of the planet”.
While the exact scope of how this would be achieved is left open by the initiative text, it names six areas to be focussed on: climate, biodiversity, water consumption, land usage, atmospheric pollution, and the usage of pesticides.
+ Switzerland: small country, big carbon footprint
The text also demands a “socially acceptable” implementation within 10 years of being voted on.
A total of 100,000 signatures are needed to force a public vote in the Swiss direct democracy system. As such, if federal authorities validate the 105,000 signatures, and if parliament doesn’t come up with a compromise that would convince the campaigners to withdraw the initiative, the population will vote on it.
[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! [15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
John 19 : 14-15
The text is also supported by the main Green Party, the left-wing Social Democrats, the Greenpeace association, and various climate protection groups and scientists.
A previous campaign by Swiss environmental campaigners, demanding net zero carbon emissions by 2050, was withdrawn last October after parliament came up with a counter-proposal.
Adventist Young People Challenged to Transform Communities on Global Youth Day, March 15
The March 15th day will see thousands of young people serving and spreading Jesus’ Love through community outreach.
March 9, 2025 | Miami, Florida, United States | Libna Stevens, Inter-American Division News
Thousands of Seventh-day Adventist young people around the world will engage in service projects in their communities on March 15, 2025, as part of this year’s Global Youth Day (GYD).
The annual initiative, led by the youth ministries department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, inspires young people to step out of their comfort zones and “Be the Sermon” by showing the love of Jesus through acts of kindness wherever they go.
Pope of the Poor Makes Big Impact in Africa!
“Our young people across Inter-America are excited to make a meaningful impact in their communities and cities with purpose and passion,” said Pastor Al Powell, youth ministries director for the Inter-American Division (IAD).
Global Youth Day activities planned across IAD’s 25 unions, or church regions, will include feeding and praying for individuals in homes, cities, and rural communities; cleaning and refurbishing parks; sharing messages of hope through social media and group texts; visiting the sick in hospitals, orphanages, and nursing homes; reaching out to those in prison; reconnecting with former church members; and more, explained Powell.
Global Youth Day also marks the beginning of Youth Week of Prayer across more than 24,000 churches and congregations in the IAD. During this week, young people will have the opportunity to actively preach from pulpits and lead small group ministries, Powell added.
“We are thrilled that once again, our young people will have the chance to make a meaningful difference in their own lives and in the lives of others,” Powell said. “This is your time to go and transform our communities with Jesus’ love.” In a social media video message to youth, Powell encouraged, “Find your friends, bring all your energy, and join us on March 15th. Let’s work together to make a real difference.”
Pope Francis invites young people to be ‘God’s answer’ to a hopeless world
Launched in 2013, Global Youth Day’s vision is to reaffirm Adventist youth as a global movement mobilized for service, contributing to the proclamation of the everlasting gospel and preparing the world for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
A great crisis is coming upon us. If men still yield to men, as they have been doing for the last fifteen years, they will lose their own souls, and their example will lead others astray. God’s soldiers must put on the whole armor of God. We are not required to put on human armor, but to gird ourselves with God’s strength. If we keep God’s glory ever in view, our eyes will be anointed with the heavenly eyesalve; we will be able to look deeper, and see afar off what the world is. As we discern its dishonesty, its craftiness, its selfish eye service, its pretence, and its boasting, its want of fair honest dealing in the ordinary intercourse of life, and its grasping covetousness, we can take our stand, by precept and example, to represent Christ, and convert <souls from> the world by our sound principles, our firm integrity, our hatred of all dissembling, and our holy boldness in acknowledging Christ.
Do not let the world convert you 11LtMs, Lt 4, 1896, par. 40 – 11LtMs, Lt 4, 1896, par. 41
