RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … For the first time in known history, the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) will be sending three Pathfinder clubs to the Union-level Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) finals in Minnetonka, Minnesota, March 22. Any team receiving a first-place ranking at the Union-level finals will progress to the North American Division finals in Battle Creek, Michigan, April 26.
Four teams participated in the RMC Conference-level finals that were hosted by the Denver South Hispanic Seventh-day Adventist Church in Denver, Colorado, February 22. Each team answered 90 questions about the Biblical texts from the Book of Romans and 1 Corinthians over a several hour time span with each team’s answers reviewed by two neutral judges.
The Aurora Las Aguilas, Littleton Lights, and Loveland Cougars achieved first-place rankings making them eligible to compete at the Union level. The Pecos Rocky Mountain Stallions achieved a very respectable third-place ranking, demonstrating preparation and dedication throughout the evening.
“You guys are awesome,” commented Eli Gonzales, RMC Club Ministries co-executive coordinator. “You’ve worked so hard for this achievement, and we are proud that you’ll be representing RMC at Mid-America Union level. Loveland Cougars and Aurora Las Aguilas, you did it again. Littleton lights I’m not surprised. I’m impressed. Your first PBE competition and you earned first place. WOW, WOW, WOW.”
Facilitating the event was RMC Club Ministries co-executive coordinators Sue Nelson and Eli Gonzales and RMC Youth director Brandon Westgate. Jade Teal, RMC Youth assistant director, assisted as a team judge. A special health message was given by Rick Mautz, RMC Health Ministry director, reminding all in attendance that following the Adventist health message will lead to clarity of mind, important both in life and in completion.
