Texas Vision
Evangelism and sharing the gospel with the greater community is the heartbeat of our church and our mission. Jesus Christ himself instructed us to “go” into the world and share the good news! An Adventist church in Hawaii was hosting an evangelistic series a few years ago, which lasted for several weeks. They shared flyers around the island, and invited people to come before the meetings for a hearty dinner, and then stay to learn about our beliefs and the life-changing power of God’s word.
One man, who was in the military and stationed on this island, but knew nothing about Adventism, decided to give these meetings a try. He was initially drawn by the offer of a free dinner, but he was soon compelled by the message of the gospel. “For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died…” (2 Corinthians 5:14, AMPC). This man in Hawaii had heard of Jesus, but learning about the gospel, prophecy, and God’s guidance for our lives today really compelled him to give his life and commit to God once and for all.
Together As One, we are working to share the gospel with people of all ages. Today’s Texas Vision offering benefits three areas within the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists: worthy student funding for our academies (25%), Lake Whitney Ranch development (50%) and church or school building appropriations (25%).
Your financial gifts will make an eternal difference.
Visión de Texas
El ministerio de compartir el Evangelio con la comunidad en general es el corazón de nuestra iglesia y nuestra misión. Jesucristo mismo nos dijo que debíamos “ir” al mundo a compartir las buenas nuevas. Hace unos años, una iglesia adventista de Hawái organizó una campaña evangélica que duró varias semanas. Repartieron folletos por toda la isla, e invitaron a la gente a ir antes de las reuniones para disfrutar de una rica cena, y luego quedarse para conocer nuestras creencias y el poder transformador de la Palabra de Dios.
Un militar, que estaba estacionado en la isla y que no sabía nada del adventismo, decidió asistir a esas reuniones. Al principio se sintió atraído por la oferta de una cena gratis, pero el mensaje del Evangelio no tardó en convencerlo. “Porque el amor de Cristo nos obliga, porque estamos convencidos de que uno murió por todos, y por consiguiente todos murieron…” (2 Corintios 5:14, NVI). Este hombre en Hawái había oído hablar de Jesús. Aprender sobre el Evangelio, las profecías y la guía de Dios para nuestras vidas hoy en día realmente lo impulsó a entregar su vida y comprometerse con Dios.
Todos Unidos, estamos trabajando para compartir el evangelio con personas de todas las edades. La ofrenda Visión de Texas beneficia en tres áreas a los Adventistas de la Conferencia de Texas: financiamiento estudiantil para nuestras academias (25%), Desarrollo del Rancho de Lake Whitney (50%) y compra de edificios para Iglesias o escuelas (25%).
