"Breadth"

Yes, Breadth! I am continually amazed as I read and hear about the width and breadth of the gospel outreach associated with the Seventh-day Adventist church and its supporting ministries.

Just briefly consider evangelism and outreach from the "Youth Rush" involving scores of high school age youth and young adult bible workers working in Central California where it's hot, this last week as hot as 113 degrees with heavy smoke from forest and grass fires to independent lay workers delivering bibles, starting youth programs and building community centers in Inuit areas of Northern Canada, ministries reaching out to Jewish societies to discreet outreaches in Islamic society; inner-city evangelism in gang areas of San Bernardino to the remote regions of Mongolia; God is using dedicated and willing people to reach the world.

And this is just scratching the surface. It is my hope that over the next few weeks and months, the blog will grow and begin to include posting of news from "wherever" around the world, from yacht-based medical missions toEspiritu Santo, Vanuato to ASI Youth for Jesus in Tampa, Florida.

Tell your friends, email your favorite ministries and have them post to this blog and let's watch this grow and encourage and strengthen our resolve to keep sharing the good news wherever we are!

God Bless, Happy Sabbath
