A group of Adventist chaplains from the Inter-American Division’s French territory ministered to victims of the recent earthquake that devastated the southern peninsula of Haiti. The chaplains offered emotional and psychosocial support to more than 400 people from September 9 to 17. Director of Pastor Care and Education at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital and Adventist Chaplaincy Instructor Ansel Valcin invited a handful of Adventist chaplains from the French Antilles Guiana region and Haiti. Eight chaplains from Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana flew to Haiti to pair up with eight chaplains from the Haitian Union. The Adventist Community Services (ACS) of the Nkoldongo Adventist Church in Cameroon distributed donations estimated at around 3 million CFA Francs to needy families and children through a free market held in September. About 500 people took part in this exercise. Each participant could purchase at least five items for free, presenting tickets offered by the organizers. They all benefited from school kits, clothing, shoes, bags, suitcases, mats, seals, foodstuffs, and even soap. The ACS Department of the Nkoldongo Adventist Community initiative was launched in July 2021 by fundraising from church members, organizations, and individuals. Dean of the School of Theology at Brazil Adventist University, Reinaldo W. Siqueira, has been named the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s new chief liaison to the Jewish community. The General Conference Administrative Committee voted Siqueira as the director of the World Jewish-Adventist Friendship Center, which operates under the auspices of Adventist mission and oversees the World Church’s relations with the Jewish people. You can find out more about this one of six Global Mission Centers under the support of Adventist Mission at https://www.adventistmission.org/. An earthquake caused significant damage to the Bekabeka Adventist Community High School on October 15 in the Solomon Islands western province. Bekabeka is a Seventh-day Adventist boarding high school with 249 students, 18 teaching staff, and 9 support staff. The earthquake’s epicenter was between 25 and 30 kilometers, or roughly 18 miles, from the closest point of land and communities, which happened to be the boarding school. Twenty-three out of 28 homes on the campus were damaged. Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Solomon and a team from nearby Batuna Vocational College went to assess the damage and help with some building, plumbing, and electrical repairs.

The world is approaching its end. Thus, it's time for us Seventh-day Adventists to be bolder in proclaiming the Three Angels' Messages such that there's no other work of greater importance than this. In this worldwide Week of Prayer (November 6-13), Pastor Ted Wilson invites you to join other Seventh-day Adventists around the globe to dive deeply into these messages through the special November issue of the Adventist World magazine. Be part of this worldwide event by downloading a copy of this magazine at adventistworld.org. God has a special mission in every age. The specifics may vary, but the ultimate goal stays the same – to bring people into a saving relationship with God for eternity. Over 2 500 years ago, God used Daniel to carry out His prophecies during his time. But these prophecies extend into our time and beyond. They are identified in Revelation 10 as a "little book" sealed until the end. Verses 8 and 9 say, "Go, take the little book which is open…take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." It traces back to the great disappointment in 1844, marking the end of the 2300-year prophecy concerning the cleansing of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment. It was a bitter disappointment when Jesus did not come as the Advent believers had expected. But little did they know their work was not yet complete as there was another message to be given to the whole world. As you know, this message came to be known as the Three Angels' Messages, divided into three parts outlined in Revelation 14:6-12. The first and second messages were given by the early Adventist believers. The third one would be given before the second coming of Christ. And the combination of these messages would be the final appeal of God to the world. Now, our mission as God's remnant church is made clear as stated here: "In a special sense, Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light-bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God. They have been given a work of the most solemn import—the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. There is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to absorb their attention…The world is to be warned, and God's people are to be true to the trust committed to them" (9T 19). Since God entrusted us to proclaim these messages to the world, we must understand them first before sharing. As such, Pastor Wilson encourages you to meet in your respective places to participate in this Week of Prayer. As the conflict between truth and error intensifies and the end draws near, God's faithful ones must carry on with the mission, leaving the results with Him. Their faces will be "lighted up, hastening from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven…The message will be carried not so much by argument as by the deep conviction of the Spirit of God…the truth is seen in its clearness, and the honest children of God sever the bands which have held them…Notwithstanding the agencies combined against the truth, a large number take their stand upon the Lord's side" (GC 612). Now is the time to study these messages, pray for God's leading, and commit ourselves fully into His hands. Together, let's say, "I will go to proclaim the Three Angels' Messages!" May God bless you as you spend time with Him during this worldwide Week of Prayer. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkdq5KW8QSc

There’s a lot of debate about what happens when you die. Scripture tells us that humans die because of sin. The Bible calls death sleep. It’s the end of our life on earth but it’s not the end of the story. One day, Jesus will resurrect those who were faithful to Him for eternity. Blog: https://www.ibelievebible.com/when-you-die/ ___

En este episodio, el pastor Ted Wilson habla de llegar a más personas en las ciudades a través del ministerio de salud. Como Adventistas del Séptimo Día, creemos en una ciudad y una vida mejores. No solo se refiere a esa "ciudad mejor" en el cielo, la Nueva Jerusalén y la vida eterna, sino que también se refiere a tener una vida más abundante. El libro, Ministerio de Curación, página 102 dice: "Sólo el método de Cristo será el que dará éxito para llegar a la gente. El Salvador trataba con los hombres como quien deseaba hacerles bien. Les mostraba simpatía, atendía a sus necesidades y se ganaba su confianza. Entonces les decía: “Seguidme.” {MC 102.3} '" Para ilustrar esto, el pastor Wilson presenta al Dr. Manuel Alva, un médico del Centro de Influencia de Servicios Comunitarios Adventistas en Chicago, Illinois, que llega a la gente urbana a través del ministerio de salud. Como alguien que ha experimentado colesterol alto, presión arterial alta y otros problemas de salud, sabe lo que se siente al estar enfermo. Al aplicar los ocho principios sencillos de la salud, ha recuperado su salud. Y se ha convertido en una persona diferente con la intervención de Dios. Inspirado por esta experiencia, realiza seminarios de salud y demostraciones de cocina en su clínica. También hay conferencias espirituales sobre la humildad, el perdón, la superación de la ansiedad y otros. Con esto, el Dr. Alva quiere plantar una semilla en cada persona que visita su clínica. A través de esa semilla, prevé que toda la ciudad germinará y dará frutos para la gloria de Dios a través de sus historias de conversión.
Que esta historia sea una bendición que te inspire a encontrar formas de llegar a más personas para Jesús dondequiera que estés. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibn06_E9bgw

Neste episódio, o pastor Ted Wilson fala sobre como alcançar mais pessoas nas cidades por meio do ministério de saúde. Como adventistas do sétimo dia, acreditamos em uma cidade e uma vida melhores. E não se refere apenas àquela "cidade melhor" no céu – a Nova Jerusalém e a vida eterna – mas também diz respeito a ter uma vida mais abundante. Sobre isso, o livro A Ciência do Bom Viver, página 143, aconselha: "Unicamente os métodos de Cristo trarão verdadeiro êxito no aproximar-se do povo. O Salvador misturava-Se com os homens como uma pessoa que lhes desejava o bem. Manifestava simpatia por eles, ministrava-lhes às necessidades e granjeava-lhes a confiança. Ordenava então: "Segue-Me." João 21:19.'" Para ilustrar isso, o pastor Wilson apresenta o Dr. Manuel Alva, médico do Centro de Influência dos Serviços Comunitários Adventistas em Chicago, Illinois, alcançando pessoas urbanas por meio do ministério de saúde. Como alguém que teve colesterol alto, pressão alta e outros problemas de saúde, ele sabe como é estar doente. Ao aplicar os oito princípios fáceis de saúde, ele restaurou sua saúde. E ele se tornou uma pessoa diferente com a intervenção de Deus. Inspirado por essa experiência, ele dirige seminários de saúde e demonstrações de culinária em sua clínica. Há também palestras espirituais sobre humildade, perdão, superação da ansiedade e outros. Com isso, o Dr. Alva quer plantar uma semente em cada pessoa que visita sua clínica. Por meio dessa semente, ele prevê que toda a cidade germinará e dará frutos para a glória de Deus por meio de suas histórias de conversão. Que esta história seja uma bênção que irá inspirá-lo a encontrar maneiras de alcançar mais pessoas para Jesus onde quer que você esteja. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc0WglpVYYU
