Thirty-five of Inter-America’s Adventist students and young professionals will get a chance to dialogue with Adventist world church president Pastor Jan Paulsen during a live, one-hour, unscripted and unedited broadcast of the “Let’s Talk” series, to take place on Oct. 27.
Let’s Talk Caribbean will be hosted by Northern Caribbean University in Mandeville, Jamaica, where the group of young people from the English-speaking Caribbean islands will have the opportunity to ask the Adventist leader questions on issues that concern them about the church.
The program becomes the 17th installment of the Let’s Talk series and the first one broadcast from Inter-America.’s Talk series and the first one broadcast from Inter-America.
“Each show is different and each provides a local flavor to the conversation,” says Ray Dabrowski, communication director for the Adventist World Church. “Among the exciting values of the show is that the youth of the church brings the diversity, yet a notion of being a family that fosters relationships and the hopes of making the church a warm and embracing faith community where all have a role and contribution to make.”
“The excitement, the enthusiasm that the Caribbean churches bring to the diverse mosaic of Adventism is expected to be experienced during this upcoming event in Jamaica,” he adds.
The dialogue will be very significant for the Caribbean territory, says Nigel Coke, communication director for the church in the West Indies territory.
“The membership in the West Indies Union is very young,” says Coke. “Approximately 70 percent is under the age of 30. It is important that the leadership of the church dialogue with them, so they can understand and appreciate their role in the global mission of the church.”
Let’s Talk Caribbean will air live on the Hope Channel on at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time or online at www.hopetv.org. For more information and broadcast schedules visit www.letstalk.adventist.org or the Hope Channel website.
