The Seventh - day Adventist church has a great army; which is their young people. And as sister Ellen G White says: “We have an army of youth today who can do much if they are properly directed and encouraged. We want our children to believe the truth. We want them to be blessed of God. We want them to act a part in well organized plans for helping other youth. Let all be so trained that they may rightly represent the truth, giving the reason of the hope that is within them, and honoring God in any branch of the work where they are qualified to labor. General Conference Bulletin. Vol. 5, No. 2, p. 24. Jan. 29, 30, 1893 {PH050 2.1}
We understand that as time pass by the needs of the young people change in many areas such as social, spiritual and mental. But we know that if our youth and children are well trained and well organized we “can do much… and rightly represent the truth, giving the reason of the hope that is within them, and honoring God in any branch of the work where they are qualified to labor”
This is why PCJovenes.com was created a reliable and Christ center tool to help our youth to get trained and to have accessible resources to fulfill those needs. PCJovenes.com is an online Adventist ministry organized and led by young adults from diverse backgrounds. It is a bilingual portal that started in Spanish but as it has grown, now we have it in English too. With the main goal of to proclaim the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The website is an interactive intended to produce awareness of the Seventh-Day Adventist believes to the Hispanic Community. Free of charge to the visitors, but slowly make it available to everyone as we have notice visitors from 135 countries.
Our purpose with this ministry is to mobilize existing youth and young adult ministries that are fully committed to the distinctive message and mission of the Adventist church towards the proclamation of the Three Angels’ Message.

And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (KJV) Mathew 24:14
Historia de la Juventud Adventista
Muchos de nosotros estamos familiarizados con la historia de cómo comenzó el ministerio juvenil adventista por dos adolescentes, Lutero Warren y Harry Fenner, en el pueblo de Hazelton, Michigan en 1879. Estos dos jóvenes, preocupados por las necesidades espirituales de sus amigos tanto dentro como fuera de la iglesia, oraron juntos y luego lanzaron lo que llegó a ser la primera sociedad de jóvenes Adventistas - un pequeño grupo de muchachos (luego fue de muchachos y muchachas) que se reunían semanalmente para orar, cantar, estudiar la Biblia, hacer obra misionera, y gozar de sana recreación.
Otras sociedades dirigidas por jóvenes surgieron a nivel local, y en la primera década del siglo 20 la iglesia como tal, animada por Elena White y otros que vieron la importancia del trabajo por los jóvenes, comenzaron a organizar un programa juvenil. La primera organización juvenil Adventista fue fundada en 1907 bajo el nombre de “Sociedad de Jóvenes Misioneros Voluntarios”. El nombre fue seleccionado para indicar claramente el enfoque en el servicio y alcance como una parte integral de nuestro ministerio juvenil.
Aunque el nombre fue cambiado a “Juventud Adventista” en (1979), el enfoque del movimiento juvenil Adventista ha permanecido como uno de Salvación y Servicio. El ministerio juvenil Adventista es hoy día un movimiento mundial enfocado en ganar jóvenes para Jesús y entrenarlos para compartir Su mensaje de amor con otros.
