What do you want Jesus to do for you? If He is willing to do it, what could be more important than asking, and trusting?
01/19/2002
Being Seventh-day Adventists distinguishes us from the rest of the Christian world. But we are first Christians, then Seventh-day Adventists. In sharing our Adventist faith, we should always put first things first.
01/26/2002
Our most distinguishing characteristic is built right into our name: Seventh-day Adventists. What relationship does the seventh day have to our devotion to Jesus as our Lord? How does it enhance that devotion and make it contagious?
02/23/2002
To a world plagued with pain and death, God offers a contagious hope. Internalizing that hope can't help but make you contagious.

What's contagious about the Adventist view of the final judgment? Lots!

Nothing is more certain about life in this world than that it will end. But Easter says the end of our lives here is not the end of the story. The Contagious Adventist view of death and beyond.
04/06/2002
The Adventist position on health is the subject of many jokes, and the secret to a longer life. Something to be contagious about.
04/20/2002
The mission of Christ is the mission of Seventh-day Adventists. But before grace can be shared contagiously, it must first be experienced. Are you experiencing it?

World Budget – Digital Strategy for Mission

We thank God for the growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church since Global Mission began some three decades ago. We’ve reached many new people groups and entered new countries. We’ve planted thousands of new churches. We’ve seen literally millions of people find hope and salvation in Jesus.

Of course, many mission challenges remain. But that’s nothing new! When the good news about Jesus spread from Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago, it happened because the disciples came together and prayed together. Then the Holy Spirit gave power to those gathered in the upper room and they responded to God by saying, “I will go.”

Today, the Adventist church is supporting hundreds of missionaries around the world, who face many obstacles to preach the gospel. How do we even begin to reach people who don’t believe in God and have never seen a Bible? How do you begin to reach people who are rich and increased with goods and feel they have need of nothing? Or preach to people who live in refugee camps in very poor conditions?

In the face of such huge mission challenges, some see walls, but we see opportunities. Many see a lack of funds, but we see the Source of all funds. Many see our weakness, but we see His strength. God is inviting you to participate with Him in His mission of salvation here on earth.

Who is willing to support our global outreach with your special offering? Better yet, who will say, “I will go?”
