Hello, Happy Sabbath. I am glad to greet you once again.
During the last few months we have been talking about “All the Family in Mission,” the evangelism plan of the Inter-American Division for this year 2024. More than just a theme, this project is a call to all members of the church to live the gospel in a practical and transformative way, spreading the good news of salvation to every corner of our communities.
Today we begin hundreds of evangelism campaigns throughout the territory, where members of all ages are participating and next Sabbath, we will broadcast from Honduras, a special event of celebration and praise to God.
Evangelism is not an exclusive task for a few to accomplish. It is the responsibility and privilege of everyone in the church regardless of age, experience, or position. We can all contribute with our gifts and talents, so that together we can reach so many who don’t know about Jesus.
The apostle Paul in Romans 10:14 asks: “ How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” We have the answer, as we participate together in this initiative. Therefore, we must remain attentive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and pray that He prepares the hearts of those we will reach.
May the Lord bless all our efforts and use us powerfully in All the Family in Mission.
Maranatha!
