23rd General Conference

On September 4, 2019, the 23rd General Conference Session of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement began with morning worship led by Brother Dragan Ivanov of Serbia. Brother Dragan presented a message entitled “Health to Body and Soul.” He emphasized the importance of our spiritual connection with God and drew a relationship between the modern Wi-Fi technology and our spiritual connection with God.  He emphasized that it is up to us whether we are connected to God’s network of communication or not. He also made an appeal that throughout the 23rd General Conference Session all delegates should switch their “spiritual Wi-Fi on” and let God lead in the decisions and plans.

At 8:50 a.m. after a delicious breakfast, the session started with a short message given by the outgoing General Conference President, Brother Davi P. Silva.  A beautiful song was sung entitled “Chief of Sinners.” Brother Silva’s  appeal message concluded with the statement that we are all sinners and, if we realize this and ask God for help, He is able and willing to save us. He invited God’s presence to the ongoing meetings, and asked all the brethren to strive for the unity that Jesus prayed for—“that they may be one.”
