Their house caught fire. Their puppy, Milly, was trapped inside.
The kids cried and prayed: “God, please save Milly.” Minutes later, their dad walked out of the smoke holding Milly alive.
Now she’s called “Miracle Milly.” 🙏 💬 Type “I believe” if you know God still does miracles. Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-jrrhWVEd7o
Inside Story: “Don’t Worry. God Will Help”
Inside Story for Friday 10th of October 2025
One of the Thirteenth Sabbath mission projects for this quarter is a church at Pernambucano Adventist Academy in Brazil’s state of Pernambuco, where Inácio Manoel lives. Thank you for planning a generous offering. Watch a short YouTube video of Inácio at: bit.ly/Inacio-Brazil.
A woman spewed hatred when Inácio Manoel knocked on her door to offer Seventh-day Adventist books in Brazil. “I hate Christians!” she yelled.
Inácio was surprised. It was his first house on his first day of work as a literature evangelist offering books and Bible studies.
He and a friend went to the next house. A big dog barked ferociously from the yard. His friend mumbled something about the first house having an angry woman and the second house having an angry dog.
“Don’t worry,” Inácio said. “God is with us.”
A woman came out of the house and led the dog away. Then she invited Inácio and his friend to come in. The three had a heart-to-heart conversation, and the woman told of her struggles since her husband had been sent to prison. The next Sabbath, the woman came to church with her three young children. Inácio was amazed. He told God that he wanted to lead people to Him for the rest of his life.
Inácio’s biggest surprise, however, came from the third house that he and his friend visited on that first day of work. The woman who lived there, Edileuza, agreed to Bible studies on Saturday afternoons. As they read week after week, they came to the Bible truth about the seventh-day Sabbath. Edileuza worked as a manicurist and a housekeeper, and she didn’t see any possibility of resting on Saturdays.
“I make the most money that day of the week,” she said. “What can I do?”
“Don’t worry,” Inácio said. “God will help. He has something better.”
At the next Bible study, Edileuza said she had met a stranger on the street who had asked if she knew a good housekeeper. The job didn’t require any work during the Sabbath hours of sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.
Edileuza beamed as she shared the story with Inácio. “Now my salary is three times more than I earned as a manicurist and a housekeeper,” she said.
Edileuza was baptized. Later, the rest of her family followed suit.
Inácio, now 68, has led four to 11 people to baptism every year for the past 36 years. Everywhere he goes, he carries Bible lessons with him. His nightly prayer is: “Lord, put someone in my path, so I can share Your love.”
“I can live without anything in the world, but not without Bible studies,” he said.

Friday: Further Thought – Surprised by Grace
Daily Lesson for Friday 10th of October 2025
Read Ellen G. White, “Crossing the Jordan,” Pages 482, 483, in Patriarchs and Prophets.
After this story of Rahab and the spies, the rest of the Old Testament is silent about her until she emerges again in the genealogy of Jesus. It is stated that she became the wife of Salmon (from the tribe of Judah), the mother of Boaz, and the mother-in-law of another remarkable woman mentioned in the same genealogy: Ruth (Matthew 1:5; compare with Ruth 4:13,21). Through her faith in God, the prostitute of Jericho, condemned to total destruction, becomes a significant link in the royal line of David and a progenitor of the Messiah. This is what God is able to accomplish through faith, even if it might be only the size of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20, Luke 17:6).
“And her [Rahab’s] conversion was not an isolated case of God’s mercy toward idolaters who acknowledged His divine authority. In the midst of the land a numerous people—the Gibeonites—renounced their heathenism and united with Israel, sharing in the blessings of the covenant.
“No distinction on account of nationality, race, or caste, is recognized by God. He is the Maker of all mankind. All men are of one family by creation, and all are one through redemption. Christ came to demolish every wall of partition, to throw open every compartment of the temple courts, that every soul may have free access to God. His love is so broad, so deep, so full, that it penetrates everywhere. It lifts out of Satan’s influence those who have been deluded by his deceptions, and places them within reach of the throne of God, the throne encircled by the rainbow of promise. In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free.”—Ellen G. White, Prophets and Kings, Pages 369, 370.

SATIRE: How to Say “No” in Adventist Speak
If you’ve ever tried to set a boundary in the Adventist world, you know the struggle is real. Saying “No” outright? Blasphemy. But fear not! Here’s your cheat sheet for politely declining… Adventist-style. 1. “I’ll pray about it.” Translation: I have zero intention of doing this, but it sounds spiritual. Example: Pastor: “Can you lead […] Source: https://atoday.org/satire-how-to-say-no-in-adventist-speak/
Pourquoi nous devons être une église historiquement avisée
par Reinder Bruinsma | 9 octobre 2025 | J’avais cinq ans lorsque notre famille (mon père, ma mère, mon grand-père et quatre enfants) a déménagé d’Amsterdam à Schermerhorn, un petit village situé à une trentaine de kilomètres au nord de chez nous. À cette époque, l’église réformée néerlandaise du village, datant de 1634-1636, faisait l’objet […] Source: https://atoday.org/pourquoi-nous-devons-etre-une-eglise-historiquement-avisee/
