More than 160 Seventh-day Adventist church administrators and leaders from across the Inter-American Division territory vowed, during the close of the annual mid-year business meetings on May 7, to continue motivating the more than 3.7 million membership to remain faithful in spreading the gospel even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
