General Conference Session Offering: Digital Strategy for Mission

When the Seventh-day Adventist Church was organized in 1863, it had only 3,500 members. Now there are over 21 million Adventist members worldwide. Thanks to your generous mission offerings, prayers, and personal involvement, the Seventh-day Adventist Church shares the love of Jesus in more than 200 countries around the world with 153,253 congregations meeting every Sabbath, 7,792 schools, and over 700 health care institutions.* All of this has been made possible due to the “Revolutionary Generosity” of our faithful members.

Revelation 18:1-2 says, “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, ‘Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen’…” (NKJV).

The Adventist church has a special message to wake up the world and invite people to leave Babylon and joint the “Remnant Church” who keep the commandments and have the testimony of Jesus.

Thank you for funding the mission to preach the three angels’ messages. Today’s offering is for the World Budget. As you give your offering today, remember to pray for God’s Spirit to touch lives so people can prepare for Jesus’ soon return.

Presupuesto mundial

Cuando la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día se fundó en 1863, solo contaba con 3500 miembros. Hoy en día hay más de 21 millones de miembros adventistas en todo el mundo. Gracias a sus generosas ofrendas misioneras, oraciones y participación personal, la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día comparte el amor de Jesús en más de 200 países de todo el mundo, con 153.253 congregaciones que se reúnen cada sábado, 7.792 escuelas y más de 700 instituciones de salud.* Todo esto ha sido posible gracias a la “generosidad revolucionaria” de nuestros fieles miembros.

Apocalipsis 18:1, 2 dice: “Después de estas cosas vi a otro ángel que descendía del cielo y que tenía gran autoridad, y la tierra se iluminó con su gloria. Y proclamó con potente voz diciendo: ‘¡Ha caído, ha caído Babilonia la grande!’” … (RVA-2015).

La Iglesia Adventista tiene un mensaje especial para “despertar” al mundo e invitar a la gente a salir de Babilonia y unirse a la Iglesia Remanente que guarda los mandamientos y tiene el testimonio de Jesús.

Gracias por contribuir a la financiación de la misión de predicar el mensaje de los tres ángeles. La ofrenda de hoy es para el presupuesto mundial de la Iglesia Adventista: nuestra iglesia. Recuerde orar para que el Espíritu de Dios toque las vidas de la gente, para que podamos prepararnos para el pronto regreso de Jesús.
