Pathfinders Explore Adventist Roots, Excel at Bible Experience in Battle Creek

Hundreds of Pathfinders from across the North American Division and beyond converged in Battle Creek, Michigan, for the North American Division-sponsored Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE).

Participants had the opportunity to tour the Adventist Historic Village and visit the former site of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, immersing themselves in the rich heritage of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Sabbath worship program featured music by Andrews University students and a sermon by Dr. Rahel Wells, professor in the Department of Religion and Biblical Languages at Andrews University. [Watch her awe-inspiring testimony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGYdTEf-a7w]

Of the 190 teams that participated in the event, seven were from the Lake Union Conference. These teams spent months committing the books of Romans and 1 Corinthians to memory, and their dedication showed—six of the seven teams Lake Union earned first-place rankings.

Here are the results from the Lake Union:

Lake Region Conference

Shiloh Trailblazers – First Place

Michigan Conference

Ann Arbor Anchors, Conquerors in Christ – First Place
Berrien Springs Spanish Golden Eagles, Alabare We Will Praise – Second Place
