If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help” (2 Chronicles 20:9).

It would have never crossed anyone’s mind that the events of recent years could become a reality. In the midst of apocalyptic events, the Reform Movement, a relatively small number of people, looks with astonishment at the forces of light and darkness colliding for the last and most apprehensive conflict ever. In this global crisis, we, the brethren and sisters from the North American Region, have survived with the hope that the people of God will stand the test of time.

As Canada is geographically the second largest country in the world, the Reform Movement manifests its presence in the three major units: the East Canadian Field, the Quebec Mission, and the West Canadian Field. Our members from this area share their generous support to God’s work around the world.

The United States of America is the country of the Bible. It is the place where the largest amount of translations, printing, and exportation of the Holy Book has been done, in comparison with any other country in the world. It is the country that has offered the world the best version of what freedom was meant to be. Many countries, far and near, have followed in a certain way the pattern of the United States Constitution for a while. The people of God in America have benefited for a long period of time of all the privileges and prosperity of which other countries have never dreamed. At the present time things are changing with an overwhelming rapidity. The global economical collapse, and events without precedent like the “9/11” calamity, have all called for a serious review of what America wants to become, and inevitably as a normal course of action, what the world wants to become. Changes in the educational perspective, culture, mentality, and behavior will redefine the values of religion and faith for what we call in our religious vocabulary—the end of time.

In the United States of America, the Reform Movement has historical roots as well. The organizational structure displays one union (west coast), under the name of the Western North American Union (WNAU), and three other fields: the South East U.S. Field, the East-Central U.S. Field, and the Eastern U.S. Field.

Every servant of the Lord Jesus must have a passion for souls. I fervently believe that administration is not the purpose itself but a means through which we accomplish a professional, well-organized activity in God’s vineyard. The church, however, is organized for service—the salvation of souls. That is why the preaching of the gospel must have priority. Beside administration, which is very much needed, our hearts must be on the side of saving souls.

The Lord’s work has continued to be carried on in various places in the United States, but here are a few samples of some of the new projects that have been done in this important country:

An international GC project was held in Las Vegas (Nevada) where the “Ultimate Collapse Series” was presented. The project continues to be taken care of by the WNAU as an organized church. We have a constant attendance of visitors and interested souls. The goal is that by next year the new Nevada Mission will become a reality.

A series of Revelation studies was presented in Nashville (Tennessee) to new souls interested in the Present Truth.

A prophecy seminar called “Exit to the End” was held in Washington, DC. The support of the field was great. A web page was created and over 12,000 hits were noticed accessing the page.

A new project was started in Rocklin (California), which combines the health and spiritual aspects of the truth for this time. It was entitled “Health Impact 2011,” and the outcome was very good. A meeting called “Changing Lifestyle” followed. Today there is a consistent group of over 10 participants continuing to visit.

The same project was held in Ocala, (Florida), where the brethren and sisters were very cooperative as well. It was well attended, and a lot of people were interested in a follow-up.

Another “Health Impact 2011” meeting was held in Beaumont (California) near Loma Linda, a traditional SDA environment. It is worthy to mention that the attendees were a diverse group, and that we also had an Egyptian family attending, who were impressed with the nature of the seminar, and the way we introduced the truth to the people.

May God the Father of all people, the God of the whole universe, be in control of the work and the conclusion of His work. Amen.
