What happens when we die? It’s probably one of the biggest questions ever asked. Do good people go to Heaven? Will bad people burn in Hell forever? Or am I just going to disappear into oblivion? The truth is, most people are confused about what happens when we die. Some Christian denominations claim that people are reborn after death, while others think that we pass through a realm called purgatory when we die. Atheists even believe that nothing happens at all and that we cease to exist. Scary thought, isn’t it? But the Bible has a different answer to the issue of death. Join Pastor Chris Holland as he reveals what the Bible has to say about life after death. Learn about immortality, living souls and the second coming of Jesus. What really happens when we die? Watch Episode 10 of Unlocking Bible Prophecies: Digging Deeper to find out the answer. MEET THE HOST:

African history stores one of the most colorful narratives in the world. Local church members are ecstatic to share their God-wrought tales. African Church: A humble beginning
It was not Seventh-day Adventists who first sowed the seeds of the gospel in West-Central Africa. God was already working in the region before the official missionaries came in 1882. There were already 30 believers who welcomed God's workers! It started with a simple conversation and some tracts. And with the work of the Holy Spirit, the truth began in two continents – Africa and Australia! Know more about this missionary in this 10th episode of Adventist history podcast. African Mission: A spirit of sacrifice
A vice president of the General Conference once said, "West Africa is a white man's grave." Why did he say so? Know the moving and challenging stories of Adventist missionaries in the region. Oh, how their sacrifices are not in vain! Adventist universities in Africa: Beacons of light

In 2017, the University became the world's most extensive Adventist system of higher learning. Its phenomenal growth did not occur by accident.
