The Southern Asia Division: Members Living in Community

The Southern Asia Division: Members Living in Community

Are you an active member of your community? Do you participate in church activities or ministries of your local church? If you are volunteering in your community or participate actively in your church, you will probably agree that such activities create joy – not only for us but also for others. Such involvement gives us a sense of fulfillment. Spending time with others, supporting each other, and caring for each other creates community, a vital component in our Christian walk. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us of its importance. Today we explore research findings from the Southern Asia Division (SUD) regarding this topic.

Spiritual Growth Activities in the Euro-Asia Division

Spiritual Growth Activities in the Euro-Asia Division

The Euro-Asia Division (ESD) covers a very multicultural area in the world including the territories of Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, where Christianity has even been outlawed for periods of time and where even today people still die for their faith in Jesus. Yet, the Gospel has prevailed and permeated many hearts – changing lives forever. In Psalms 119:105 KJV, we read, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” How do Adventist church members in the ESD grow spiritually? Let’s explore together if they are taking these Bible words to heart?

Use of Christ’s Method to Reduce Suffering and Poverty in the WAD

Use of Christ’s Method to Reduce Suffering and Poverty in the WAD

In Deuteronomy 10:18, we read, “[The Lord your God] executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.” We find many reminders in the Bible to care for the needy (often referred to as the widow and orphan). We also discover that during His early ministry, Jesus did all He could to minister to those overlooked by society. However, what is the Adventist Church doing in this regard? In this blog, we will examine how one Division—the West-Central Africa Division (WAD)—feels about Christ’s method of ministry and what they do when the “rubber meets the road.”
