The old covenant sacrificial system was replaced by the new; instead of animals being sacrificed by sinful priests in an earthly sanctuary, we now have Jesus, our perfect Sacrifice. He represents us before the Father in the sanctuary in heaven, which forms the basis of the new covenant and its promises. Sabbath School Lessons – God`s Everlasting Covenant.

This week on ANN. In India, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, or ADRA, has delivered a new critically needed oxygen production system to the METAS Hospital. The system, known as a Pressure Swing Absorption Generation Plant (PSA), was airlifted from Italy and is being installed at the 300-bed facility located in the state of Gujarat in Western India. This PSA will provide 600 liters of medical-grade oxygen per minute, 24-hours a day, to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients. In addition, ADRA plans to install additional oxygen generation plants in other medical facilities in Pune and Delhi. The humanitarian agency is also scaling up operations in other COVID-19 hot spots in Asia to aid major hospitals in Sri Lanka and Nepal as the deadly virus surges in the region. In British Columbia, Canada, the Adventist Church issued a statement on the discovery of 215 unmarked children’s graves at the former Kamloops Residential School Site. The statement says, “The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada mourns with the families of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation and all the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island following the discovery of 215 unmarked children’s graves at the former site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. This horrific event reminds us of the troubled relationship that Canada continues to navigate with the Indigenous nations who pre-existed its founding. In Colombia, Seventh-day Adventist leaders took part in a special prayer session for the nation amid the civil unrest brought on by protests for over a month. The Adventist Church was invited to participate by Meta, the central Colombian government’s religious liberty leaders. More than 100 religious leaders and citizens of the Vistahermosa district gathered with white balloons in hand at the city’s main park to pray for peace amid a national crisis that has paralyzed businesses and left 46 people dead. The Seventh-day Adventist Church recognizes June 19 as World Refugee Sabbath. This year, the world will set aside June 20 as World Refugee Day. The theme for World Refugee Day 2021 is “Every Action Counts,” which means everyone can make a difference, and everyone has a role to play to bring about change for the more than 79 million people who have been forced from their home by conflict and persecution. More than 2,300 new believers joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church after a recent four-week evangelistic campaign streamed across dozens of islands comprising the Caribbean Union. The virtual event drew thousands of viewers every night and finished off with the largest number of baptisms ever reached during the territory’s annual evangelism efforts. More than 25000 viewers connected every evening with over 50,000 viewers during the Sabbath worship programs. In Fiji, ADRA has provided emergency funding and food support to hundreds of Fijians as the number of cases of COVID-19 community transmission continues to escalate. According to the latest ADRA Fiji situation report, there were 223 active COVID cases, including 41 new cases recorded over the weekend of May 22 and 23. Emergency funding, which included contributions from the Trans-Pacific Union Mission, the Fiji Mission, ADRA Australia, and ADRA New Zealand, has enabled it to assist more than 200 families in the central and western divisions. The United States Agency for International Development, better known as the US-AID, awarded a 120,000 dollar grant to ADRA Slovakia to implement the homeless program “DrumoDrom” in Serbia. Recently, representatives of US-AID in Serbia and the Embassy of the Slovak Republic signed a memorandum of understanding. The financial award will enable the continuation of the project, specifically created to provide support to homeless people. Amazonia welcomes 36 young missionaries who will live on missions for the next year. The feeling of wanting to make an impact in someone else’s life and putting mission into practice was what made 22-year-old Luana Collen leave her sixth study period of Social Work at the State University of Ponta Grossa to live a year in the mission field. Luana represents the group of 36 young people who are linked to the One Year In Mission (OYIM) 2021 project in Northwestern Brazil. The initial training program usually takes nine weeks, but this edition lasted only five weeks due to the pandemic period.

How can we reach the world? In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson is joined by his wife, Nancy, to bring a special message about Women’s Ministries Emphasis Day.
This Sabbath, June 12, has been designated as Women's Ministries Emphasis Day. The theme for Women's Ministries is "I Will Go Reach My World," and what a wonderful goal this is for everyone to Go, in the power of the Lord, and reach their world for Him!
God has given each of us a special calling in reaching our world for Him. Let’s look at how a young girl was able, through a home, to influence one of the most powerful families of her time. We read about it in 2 Kings chapter 5, beginning in verses 1-5.
Here is a young girl, ripped away from her family and forced to serve in the very home of the one responsible for her capture! Involuntarily thrust into this unjust situation, she could have been bitter, resentful, and angry. But she wasn't. From an early age she had been taught a higher calling–one that looks beyond oneself to the welfare of others.
This young woman genuinely cared about the well-being of a powerful man who could have rightly been considered her enemy. She cared enough to speak with Naaman's wife, who conveyed the message to her husband.
This took courage. She could have reasoned that because of her lowly position she was helpless, that no one would listen to or believe her. Nevertheless, despite the risk of ridicule and rejection, she spoke up, and her captors believed her.
Why did they believe her? It was in part, no doubt, to what they had observed—her kindness, courtesy, and thoughtfulness. We are told in Prophets and Kings: "The conduct of the captive maid, the way that she bore herself in that heathen home, is a strong witness to the power of early home training. There is no higher trust than that committed to fathers and mothers in the care and training of their children. Parents have to do with the very foundations of habit and character. By their example and teaching the future of their children is largely decided. . . . The parents of that Hebrew maid, as they taught her of God, did not know the destiny that would be hers. But they were faithful to their trust; and in the home of the captain of the Syrian host, their child bore witness to the God whom she had learned to honor"(Prophets and Kings, p. 245).
As we consider our calling, let us never forget those nearest to us, and the powerful influence God has placed within our hands. Whether we have children of our own, or are "mothers in Israel," God has placed us in the powerful position of teaching, nurturing, and guiding the lives of all humanity!
God has indeed placed us in a powerful position of influence–a position that only we can fulfill. While there are many ways we can serve the Lord as we "Go to reach our world," let us always remember our special calling to reach those nearest and dearest through the powerful influence of the home.
