On Thursday, June 20, the third edition of NG Match was launched, an initiative that involves children, adolescents and young people from Adventist churches in northern Peru in various categories such as preaching, unpublished singing and Bible study. Participants compete in internal competitions to represent their mission fields in the grand finale, which this year will be held in Trujillo, Peru.
NG Match represents the vision of the Adventist Church to revive, engage and disciple (RID) the New Generations. This initiative motivates young people to strengthen spiritual habits aligned with that vision. For example, through the “NG Match”, daily Bible study is promoted among participants, and through preaching we seek to encourage their active participation in the community.
