World Budget: Radio Ministries
If you’ve been feeling like the radio is antiquated and you are the only one who still listens to it, think again! Radio is actually alive and doing well. It turns out, more than 3 billion people in this planet tune in every week to listen to the radio!4 The Adventist Church supports radio ministries so that our Advent message will enter even the most remote areas of our world.
Revelation 14:15 says, “And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ‘Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe’.”
Through radio ministries the Adventist Church is reaching every country on this planet and making sure that the earth is ripe for the harvest. We invite you today to partner with God and be part of the final harvest.

"Now, As We Set Forth"
Appearing in the Advent Review... in September, 1874, was a brief letter from John Nevins Andrews. One of its sentences stands out. This sentence, starting "And now, as we set forth, we commit ourselves...", has become dubbed the "J.N. Andrews Benediction", and it finds frequent use at the close of major events on the Andrews University campus.
On Sept. 21 at 5:15 p.m., we will explore this sentence divided into seven parts, each with verbal commentary, congregational singing, and an organ solo. The final words, "...in this sacred work", will receive particular emphasis including an organ solo with deep campus roots, Charles Gounod's Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy). Kenneth Logan, organ and Jonathan Burt, word will lead this sesquicentennial remembrance.
