Vojvodina, Serbia—By the grace of God, a medical missionary activity took place between January 30 and February 1, 2020, in the Vojvodina Mission.
Lectures were presented on Autophagy, which is defined by the USA National Cancer Institute as “A process by which a cell breaks down and destroys old, damaged, or abnormal proteins and other substances in its cytoplasm (the fluid inside a cell).” The topics were presented by Brother Dragan Ivanov, M.D. and Brother Adrian Barnea.
Montreal, Canada—It is uncommon, even in our larger churches in North America, for a group of seven souls to join a local church at once. It is particularly not commonplace when the local church they would join is a “little flock” of eight souls. Yet this is exactly what happened in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on January 11, 2020. Seven souls, reflecting the ethnic and linguistic diversity of Canada, became the new members of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement Church in Montreal.
Toronto, Canada—On Sunday evening, December 8, 2019, the SDARM Youth Orchestra and Choir filled the Toronto church with music that delighted the ears and stirred the hearts of the 150 souls in attendance. Sacred music from the church hymnody and classical repertoire was skillfully presented by 22 orchestra members from the Toronto and Puslinch churches. The choir was composed of over 40 young adults, teens, and children.
Bacolod City, the Philippines—On January 7, 2020, the 6th Visayan Field Delegation Session of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement was held in Bacolod City from January 7-8, 2020.
A total of fifty-two accredited delegates and seventeen delegates at-large were present to represent the Visayan Field. Once the reports were read and accepted, outgoing officers lay down their respective offices. Over the two days, the new administration and delegates were elected with much prayer and deliberation.
Bacolod City, Philippines—Brother Noel Mauring Sr., Brother Carlos Estrera Jr., and Sister First Star Angel Sindac were the three precious souls who professed Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and accepted the holy baptism at Bacolod City Church in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, the Philippines on January 24, 2020. The candidates had previously completed the series of Bible studies in preparation for their baptism, and it was with great joy that the brethren of Bacolod City welcomed the new members.
