Texico Participates in Division PBE

HAWTHORNE, FLA. – Texico Conference Pathfinders and leaders contributed in multiple roles at the 2026 Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE), a North American Division event that brought together more than 260 clubs and participants from six countries—the United States, Canada, Bermuda, Korea, France and Brazil. More than 6,500 attended in person, with an additional 14,000 watching online.

Aracely Robles, Texico Club Ministries administrative assistant, and Eliseo Mauricio, Texico area club coordinator, served as judges. Mauricio’s daughter, Catalina, an Amarillo Pathfinder, also assisted in the judging room. Together, they helped review more than 24,000 submitted answers, with each judge evaluating approximately 690 responses.

Texico’s involvement also included participant engagement. The Texico Club Ministries Department created a Pathfinder Bingo activity card to encourage interaction throughout the event. Pathfinders across the venue participated in the activity.

Conference representatives also supported media coverage. Eric Chavez, Texico Conference Youth, Young Adult and Club Ministries director, and Naomi Martínez, a student from Texico currently studying at Southern Adventist University, served as on-camera hosts for the YouTube livestream, conducting interviews and highlighting key moments.

Texico also had success in the competition. The Odessa Light Bearers earned first place, reflecting their preparation and teamwork.

“What a journey it’s been for Texico!” Chavez said. “Not long ago, we were quietly serving behind the scenes. Now, we’re stepping into leadership and helping shape the future of Pathfinder ministry. It’s clear something special is happening. There’s a new level of vision, energy and commitment to our young people that you can feel. And the best part? This is only the beginning. It’s exciting to watch how God continues to open doors and expand the impact of this ministry.”
