Sometimes the most beautiful growth happens in the dark.
The Queen of the Night blooms unseen—just like God’s work in our lives during quiet seasons. If you’re waiting, don’t lose heart. Your bloom will come.

Is More Always More: Why Church Statistics Don’t Always Reflect Success

by Reinder Bruinsma | 1 May 2026 | It was the time of the judges, around 1200 BCE. Israel did not yet have a king, so when they were troubled by their neighbors, a temporary ruler was called to restore peace and order. God called Gideon, who belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, to deal […] Source: https://atoday.org/is-more-always-more-why-statistics-dont-always-reflect-the-value-of-the-church/

One Global Mission – Pastor Erton Köhler
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a global family with a clear structure and a living mission. Today, we are a world membership of more than 24 million with thousands more people being baptized every day. That pace means thousands choosing Christ each day across continents and cultures. These are not just numbers. They are stories of faith. How is a worldwide family organized so that local churches maintain their identity but move together? The foundation is simple. Local churches are grouped into local conferences or missions. Conferences and missions combine into unions. Unions are grouped into thirteen world divisions that are extensions of the General Conference Headquarters for strategy, accountability, and mission. This framework lets a member in Kingston or Kigali or Kuala Lumpur belong to the same movement while serving a very local neighborhood. The East-Central Africa Division serves twelve countries and reports more than five and a half million members. The Euro-Asia Division stretches across northern Asia and Europe spanning multiple time zones. Inter-America links Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and the northern part of South America. Northern Asia-Pacific brings together the Republic of Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. South America unites eight nations from the Andes to the Amazon. The South Pacific Division includes Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Vanuatu, and many island nations. Southern Africa-Indian Ocean now reports more than four million members. Trans-European Division includes numerous countries across Northern and Western Europe. West-Central Africa includes twenty-two countries. Jesus said, "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8, NIV). The church exists for this witness. Thirteen divisions from house churches to university chapels, deserts to islands, and megacities to mountain valleys, the world is very large, yet the call is very close. About the series From the Heart is a weekly devotional series in which Pastor Köhler reflects on what it means to be grounded in the Bible and focused on the mission, collectively and individually. Each episode is grounded in the four pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist Church strategic plan: Communion with God, Identity in Christ, Unity through the Holy Spirit, and Mission for All. The series connects biblical faith to everyday life, sharing short reflections and glimpses of how God is at work through the Adventist Church around the world. Subscribe and join us each week as we live out our faith and prepare for Jesus's return. – The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863.

Sabbath: Prayer Warriors
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 2nd of May 2026
Read for This Week’s Study
Daniel 2:20-23; Daniel 6:10-11; Acts 20:36; Genesis 5:22-24; Exodus 33:15-23; Exodus 32:31-32.
Memory Text:
“I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live” (Psalms 116:1-2, NKJV).
Imagine if you rarely spoke to your best friend or your spouse. Very soon the relationship would break down, and there would be a problem. In the same way, prayer is an essential part of having a close relationship with God. It is a crucial devotional habit, one that each of us needs and can strengthen. If we don’t pray often and continually, we will wander from the Lord sooner or later.
In the Bible, we learn about the lives of different individuals who prayed in different ways. We can step back and catch a glimpse into how their communion with God impacted their relationship with Him, how and for what we might also pray, and how their prayers changed the lives of others. It is true: our prayer life impacts not only ourselves but others as well.
Just like Bible study, this topic of prayer is both huge and important and much broader than what can be covered in just two weeks. This week we’ll learn lessons from some of those in the Bible who prayed and showed us just how central prayer is to having a strong relationship with God. Let’s learn from their examples.
*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, May 9.
