This week’s offering is for:
Disaster & Famine Relief
As we approach Christ’s return, the Bible tells us that crisis events will increase around the world. Emergency Management officials, who have tracked disasters for over 50 years confirm that tornadoes are touching down with greater impact, hurricanes are moving at greater speeds and mass shootings continue to affect our communities on a regular basis.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church serves those affected by these types of devastating events. Adventist Community Services (ACS) responds throughout the North American Division. Volunteers open collection centers to support those whose homes have been destroyed, support communities that have been struck by senseless shootings with Emotional Spiritual Care teams, and deliver supplies to areas of greatest need in the aftermath of a disaster.
Your offering this Sabbath will ensure ACS is able to prepare, respond, and work in recovery efforts that take place within the North American Division, which includes the United States, Canada, Bermuda, Guam, and Micronesia. While ACS is responsible for these areas, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has not forgotten the rest of the world and has another humanitarian organization that responds to events outside of the North American Division called ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Association).
Please give this Sabbath to the disaster and famine relief offering, where your donation will support both ACS and ADRA. We look forward to continuing our work to serve communities in Christ’s name.
Ayuda para desastres y alivio del hambre
A medida que nos acercamos al regreso de Cristo, la Biblia nos dice que las catástrofes aumentarán en todo el mundo. Autoridades de manejo de emergencias, que han monitoreado desastres por más de 50 años, confirman que los tornados están tocando tierra con mayor impacto; los huracanes se mueven a mayor velocidad; y los tiroteos masivos continúan afectando a nuestras comunidades regularmente.
La Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día brinda sus servicios a los afectados por este tipo de eventos devastadores. Los Servicios Comunitarios Adventistas (ACS por su sigla en inglés) responden en toda la División Norteamericana. Los voluntarios abren centros de acogida para ayudar a aquellos cuyos hogares han sido destruidos; apoyan a las comunidades que han sido golpeadas por tiroteos sin sentido con equipos de atención espiritual emocional; y entregan suministros para las zonas más necesitadas después de un desastre.
Su ofrenda de este sábado permitirá a ACS a prepararse, responder y trabajar con los equipos de emergencia de la División Norteamericana, que incluye Estados Unidos, Canadá, Bermudas, Guam y Micronesia. Aunque ACS es responsable de estas áreas, la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día no se ha olvidado del resto del mundo y tiene otra organización humanitaria que responde a los acontecimientos fuera de la División Norteamericana llamada ADRA (Agencia Adventista de Desarrollo y Recursos Asistenciales).
Su ofrenda de este sábado apoyará a ACS y a ADRA para la “Ayuda en desastres y alivio del hambre”. Deseamos continuar nuestro trabajo sirviendo a las comunidades en nombre de Cristo.
