We are seeing God at work in new and unusual ways around the world—and we’re witnessing things we’ve never seen before! During the past three years, AWR has been working with Pastor Wisam Ali, the only Arabic-speaking Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Israel, to open an evangelism center in the city of Nazareth. The inauguration was held this past June, and the ripple effects of this center of influence are being felt far and wide. In this video, Wisam shares this story and gives us a tour of the new center.

¿Por qué es difícil contar a nuestras pastoras?
“Los 20 estudiantes aceptaron el llamado para bautizarse. El presidente de la Asociación me dijo que yo los bautizaría, pero que tendría que decírselo a la junta de la iglesia para que no se sorprendieran cuando llegara el sábado y vieran a una mujer bautizando. Cuando les dije a los miembros de la junta que […] Source: https://atoday.org/por-que-es-dificil-contar-a-nuestras-pastoras/
Inside Story: South American Division ~ Part 7: Father Surrenders
Part 7: Father Surrenders
By Andrew McChesney
Four days after Junior’s baptism, evil spirits ordered Father to kill his family. Otherwise, they warned, Junior and Mother would destroy him because they were praying for him. For the first time, Father mustered up the courage to talk back. “How?” he said. “Aren’t our prayers are more powerful?”
The spirits backed down and told Father to leave his home in Manaus, Brazil. They told him to take a boat to one of five cities where Candomblé priests were waiting for him. But when Father sought to buy a boat ticket, none was available to those cities. The only tickets were to Coari. Remembering an uncle in Coari, Father decided to sail there.
Uncle Cesario Ferreira was thrilled to see Father, and he organized a family reunion. Father didn’t know the relatives well, but he confided that a spiritual conflict had erupted at home. Ninety-two-year-old Aunt Tereza patted him on the shoulder. “Son, it’s time for you to give up,” she said. “You have been serving evil spirits your whole life. Now it’s time to serve God.”
Father looked shocked. “Are you a Protestant Christian?” he asked, remembering that the evil spirits had told him to stay away from them.
Aunt Tereza smiled and motioned toward the other relatives, who also were smiling. “Son, we’re all Protestant Christians!” she said.
The next day, Father worriedly called a temple priest for advice. Uncle Cesario, who was preparing breakfast, overheard the conversation. After Father hung up, he said, “Son, did you know that Jesus cast out evil spirits?”
“How did He do that?” Father asked.
For the next three days, Uncle Cesario read Bible stories about how Jesus cast out evil spirits. On the fourth day, he told about the man possessed by a legion of evil spirits in Mark 5:1-19. Father was surprised that the spirits told Jesus, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” “That’s true!” he said. “When I went to the church for Junior’s baptism, I went with a legion of evil spirits.”
The fifth day, Uncle Cesario didn’t tell any stories. Father was afraid to ask why, and he went for a long walk. That evening, he became upset when a temple priest called him to ask for help securing animals for sacrifices.
“Let the spirits be the sacrifice!” he blurted out. “They commanded me to kill my own son. Solve your problems without me!”
Father, still upset, sat down at the table for supper. “Son,” Uncle Cesario said, ”did you know that the devil killed Job’s own son and other children?” Father had never heard of Job, and he wept as heard the story from the Bible. At the end, Father said, ”I’ve made a decision. I’ll leave Candomblé and get to know the Adventists’ God. Please pray. The devil will try to kill me.”
The next day, Father returned home and announced his decision to Mother. “I’m willing to follow your God,” he said.
Your Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help open eight churches in the South American Division, including four in Brazil, where Father (Eduardo Ferreira dos Santos) and his family live.

Friday: Further Thought ~ Indestructible Hope
Further Thought:
Read Ellen G. White, “The School of the Hereafter,” Pages 301-309, in Education; “Help in Daily Living,” Pages 470, 471, in The Ministry of Healing.
“Into the experience of all there come times of keen disappointment and utter discouragement — days when sorrow is the portion, and it is hard to believe that God is still the kind benefactor of His earthborn children; days when troubles harass the soul, till death seems preferable to life. It is then that many lose their hold on God and are brought into the slavery of doubt, the bondage of unbelief. Could we at such times discern with spiritual insight the meaning of God’s providences we should see angels seeking to save us from ourselves, striving to plant our feet upon a foundation more firm than the everlasting hills, and new faith, new life, would spring into being.” — Ellen G. White, Prophets and Kings, p. 162.
