Pathfinders across Ghana joined the global celebration of World Pathfinder Day on the third Sabbath of September. This year’s theme, “Jesus Camps with You,” inspired young people to reflect on Christ’s constant presence in their lives. Throughout the country, Pathfinders proudly wore their Class A white and green uniforms, participating in various activities that showcased their dedication and commitment.
Weekend Camps and Divine Services
Many churches hosted special weekend camps for Pathfinders, offering time for spiritual reflection and fellowship. At the Seventh-day Adventist Church, New Life’s Brave Panthers camp, participants engaged in outdoor activities and workshops that strengthened their faith and teamwork. The weekend ended with a divine service where Pathfinders led worship, delivered sermons, and shared testimonies. The focus was on how Jesus accompanies them in all aspects of life.
Sermons Led by Pathfinders
A key highlight of the day was the youth-led sermons in many churches across Ghana. At the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Hansen Road’s Hansen Lynx, Pathfinders took the pulpit, delivering powerful messages to their congregations. Their words resonated with the theme of Jesus’ constant presence, inspiring both young and old to strengthen their personal relationships with Christ.
Music and Performance
Music played an important role in the celebration. Seventh-day Adventist Church, New Town’s Golden Eagles choir and band, along with other Pathfinder clubs, delivered moving performances. Their harmonious voices and well-rehearsed band pieces filled the churches with an atmosphere of praise and worship. These performances not only showcased their musical talents but also uplifted the spirit of the congregation.
Street Evangelism
Pathfinders across Ghana also took to the streets, spreading the message of hope and salvation through street evangelism. Clubs visited communities, handing out tracts and engaging in one-on-one conversations with the public. Their efforts demonstrated their commitment to sharing the gospel, echoing the theme that Jesus camps with us wherever we go.

The event concluded with an awards ceremony that recognized outstanding Pathfinders for their dedication and hard work throughout the year. These awards celebrated individuals and clubs that have gone above and beyond in their service. The recognition served as a motivation for others to continue pursuing excellence within the ministry.
