Word for the Soul

The love which Christ diffuses through the whole being is a vitalizing power.  Every vital part - the brain, the heart, the nerves - it touches with healing.  By it the highest energies of the being are roused to activity.  It frees the soul from guilt and sorrow, the anxiety and care that crush the life forces.  With it come serenity and composure.  It implants in the soul joy that nothing earthly can destroy - join in the Holy Spirit - health-giving, life-giving joy. - MH 115

The Reality in NAD

According to the most recent study on youth and young adult ministries in NAD (by Monte Sahlin in Adventist Review), it has been noted that out of 5326 churches in NAD, only 450 churches are actively making the intentional effort to reach the young adults.

"Close to 3 out of 4 (73.5%) are making little or no attempt to reach young adults, and only 8% say it's 'a specialty' of our congregation.  These 8% boil down to about 450 local churches in NAD." - Monte Sahlin

  3. College experiences are the key factor that cause people to drop out.
  4. This generation of young Christians is increasingly "biblically illiterate."
