REVIVAL!

PASTOR'S BLOG

Imagine the police in our small village/township parking their flashing-lighted squad cars at every main entry point to Berrien Springs, stopping all traffic, and only allowing residents to proceed into our village limits. Hard to believe? Yet that’s what transpired earlier this week in the small town of Wilmore, Kentucky (population 6,461). All because in that small town is a small Christian university called Asbury, on whose campus a revival broke out at the end of the Wednesday morning chapel two weeks ago right now—a revival of worship and praise, confessions and repentances, singing and praying, with the name of Jesus on the lips of nearly everyone coming and going in that packed auditorium—a non-stop student-led revival that is still continuing around the clock to this very moment.

Backpacks for Berrien

Thank you to everyone who has brought food for the Backpack for Berrien program. Many kids will be blessed as a result. But we noticed that there’s still space for more food in one of the bins and we only have them to the end of February. Will you join me in bringing some snack item to church with you this Sabbath so that we can fill up both bins? Thank you for everything you’re doing to serve and take care of the kids in our community!
—Pastor Rodlie Ortiz

Care for Cuba

Care For Cuba brings crucial resources to pastors and Bible workers in Cuba. There are 11 million people living in Cuba, and out of 400 pastors and bible workers, very few have the needed technology, transportation, and ministry resources to reach these people and finish the gospel work. You can help by giving to one or more of the projects like bikes, Bibles, computers, or projectors. Your donation of any amount is 100% tax deductible and will change many lives, guaranteed! Join us by donating today. Mark your envelope as “Care for Cuba”. For more information or to donate online visit www.careforcuba.org.

Offering for February 25, 2023

Michigan Advance Partners

The Ann Arbor Seventh-day Adventist church has three buildings on its campus. The buildings were showing their age and were in great need of repairs and updates. The major repairs included replacing the boiler in the church, repainting the school, and a new furnace for the center of influence. Each project required significant investment for the church, which was greater than the members could afford on their own.
