Adventist Men Organization has been established primarily to
promote programmes and activities designed to foster the spiritual,
intellectual, social, moral, health, and physical well-being of students,
working class, businessmen, professional men, etc., to give them opportunities
to understand the responsibilities of Adventist men and to engage them in
evangelistic activities.
Every person must face the practical realities of
life--its opportunities, its responsibilities, its defeats, and its
successes. How he is to meet these experiences, whether he is to become
master or victim of circumstances, depends largely upon his preparation to cope
with them--his education……... True education means more than pursuing a certain
course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It
has to do with the whole being and with the whole period of existence possible
to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the
spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world
and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come. {Ed
13.1}
