Seventh-day Adventist institutions and organizations throughout the world have filled the Georgia World Congress Center exhibition halls to showcase and promote the work they do during the 59th General Conference Session.
The Inter-American Division reserved a space of 60×80 feet where institutions like Northern Caribbean University, University of Southern Caribbean, and Colombia Adventist University, and others will be represented. Health food companies from Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela and Mexico will also have a presence there.
Each one of these organizations strives to have everything ready to welcome visitors tomorrow. One such large Adventist organization has more than 12 people from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, France, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica in the exhibit of Inter-American Division Publishing Association (IADPA). They are working towards finishing the set-up so that delegates and attendees of the session can visit the space dedicated to publications on self-improvement, Spirit of Prophecy, health and even appropriate texts for the young audience.
On this occasion, the publishing house wants to impress its readers with several recommended books. On the subject of communication there is Inspirational Sayings by Leonard A. Johnson, a daily reading book Capsules of Time for Today, by Shirley A. McGarrell, as well as How to Help Kids Enjoy Church by Gloria L. Trotman.
Pablo Perla, president of IADPA, says the organization is expected to sell US$500,000 in sales during the session days. This way they can make a strong impact for the world church.
Near IADPA’s exhibit is Montemorelos University’s display. After having determined the booth design nearly a year ago by students from the communication and art departments at the institution, German Encinas, Juan Antonio Perez, Juan Jorge, Guillermo González, Abel Márquez and Josafath Alvarado put the finishing touches on the 20×30 foot booth today so that through the exhibit they can promote their institution to potential students.
