Evangelism and sharing the gospel with the greater community is the heartbeat of our church and our mission. Jesus Christ himself instructed us to “go” into the world and share the good news!
An Adventist church in Hawaii was hosting an evangelistic series a few years ago, which lasted for several weeks. They shared flyers around the island, and invited people to come before the meetings for a hearty dinner, and then stay to learn about our beliefs and the life-changing power of God’s word.
One man, who was in the military and stationed on this island, but knew nothing about Adventism, decided to give these meetings a try. He was initially drawn by the offer of a free dinner, but he was soon compelled by the message of the gospel. “For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died…” (2 Corinthians 5:14, AMPC). This man in Hawaii had heard of Jesus, but learning about the gospel, prophecy, and God’s guidance for our lives today really compelled him to give his life and commit to God once and for all.
Today’s offering will go to the local conference advance. Money that is collected will go to support similar evangelism efforts across our conference, to help share the gospel with those around us!
