In his key note address at the ceremony, he challenged the young children to be like little Samuel who hears the call from God during his sleep.
He said, its important to listen to God’s call and be humble to serve the church and the community.
Minister Dimu added as Adventurers they must be willing to listen and help their parents when they are called to do something.
At the induction, the Adventurers executive appealed for support from the parents and guardians.
