Dear leaders and members,
In today’s world, the family, which we often hear is the basic building block of society, faces numerous challenges. The Church in Inter-America is committed to ministering to everyone, in spite of the family configuration to which they are identified, and the family is one of the vehicles through which we must seek to fulfill this mission.
While we focus on the social dynamics involving families and provide practical assistance to those in need, we are even more committed to providing spiritual support to all within each society of the Inter-American Division. Spirituality can be a powerful and important source of strength in families and our mission is to bring hope, healing, and restoration to all. The ultimate goal is in the Vision statement of the Division, “Every member of the body of Christ living in readiness for the Kingdom of God.”
Our message is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the principles found in the Bible. We believe that by following these teachings, families can experience love, joy, and peace. Through the scriptures, we offer guidance on building strong marriages, raising children with values, navigating the challenges that life throws our way and present Christ as the Savior of all.
The focus of the Church in Inter-America for the year 2024 is “All the Family in Mission.”
Our desire is to help every member experience growth in the faith of Christ and in their commitment to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, as well as serving in their community while influencing others to accept Christ and become members of the Church.
I invite each of you to join us in this mission. Whether you are seeking support for your own family or have a heart to help others, there is a place for you in our community of believers. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to families around our territory.
Thank you for your support, and may God bless you and your family abundantly as we participate in the initiative “All the Family in Mission”.
Pastor Elie Henry
