A Monthly Magazine Pointing Kids to Jesus

Guide is developing a new magazine that will help young people choose Jesus. Called Real, it will have the same Christ-centered stories that have made Guide magazine such a hit with Seventh-day Adventist juniors and earliteens (ages 10-14). But this magazine will be for children of all faiths--or no faith at all.

Sharing the Adventist Advantage

The children who get Guide magazine in their churches have a great advantage over children in other congregations--they get a weekly magazine that points to Jesus and builds character. Providing spiritual nurture to this age group is critical. To quote the Christian researcher George Barna, “The primary window of opportunity for effectively reaching people with the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection is during the preteen years. It is during those years that people develop their frames of reference for the remainder of their life.”

A Mission Beyond Church Walls

The new monthly magazine will take the blessing of Guide to children who belong to any church, or no church! Young people can nominate their friends to receive a gift subscription to Real magazine and enjoy a whole year of faith-building, true stories. Adults can nominate children they care about. Church members help sponsor these subscriptions. The project may start small, but we can see it spreading to touch the lives of kids all over this continent.

Who Do You Want to Reach for Jesus?

No doubt you know of at least one young person who needs to know Jesus. It could be a friend, neighbor, or family member. Submit the names of these young people (ages 10 to 14) below. When the new magazine is ready, we'll offer them a FREE subscription. The number of subscriptions we can send will only be limited by the total donations that come in for this project. So enter as many names as you want.

To get started, please select your age category. (This is the age of the person entering the information, NOT the age of the child who will receive the magazine.)

• 12 and under
• 13 and up

(Why are we asking about your age? To comply with child privacy laws, we need your age category so we can direct you to the appropriate form for submitting your information.)

You Can Help!

Starting a new magazine is a challenging project. Guide is raising $350,000 to launch the outreach magazine in a big way. There are about 21 million kids ages 10 to 14 in North America, and we want to get this Christ-centered magazine to as many of them as possible!
