PERU—Floods and landslides devastated Peru early in 2017. Unfortunately, our brethren and churches were affected. The church in Zaña had to be completely rebuilt, and other churches had to be considerably renovated. The need was so urgent, that the Welfare Department sent out an appeal to the brethren around the world for assistance.
This spring, the Doctrinal Committee (pictured above) met to discuss the agenda of doctrinal points to be discussed by the Doctrinal Council later this year. As the brethren always request the prayer of our members during this time, they felt it would be important the members know what they were praying for.
The following is a list of topics that will be analyzed by the Doctrinal Council, which will meet in Roanoke this September. The Council will advise on which topics (all or some) will be presented to the 2019 GC Delegation Session next year.
Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of deaths in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) (43%) in the United States. Stroke comes in at number two for 16.8% of CVD patients. Every 40 seconds someone suffers from a stroke in the United States. "Stroke" is a term used to describe a life-threatening problem that affects the flow of blood to a part of the brain. There are two types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic.
