10th Annual 'We Sing' Voice Vespers: A Tribute to Hale & Wilder
Offering for November 9, 2024
Annual Sacrifice for Global Mission
Global Mission is the frontline mission arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through the use of wholistic ministry, Global Mission pioneers are bringing light to cities of the world, with a special focus on the 10/40 Window. Since Global Mission began three decades ago, we’ve reached many new people groups and entered new countries. “I Will Go” is the strategic plan of the Adventist church for 2020-2025.
There are missionaries working right now in places like Sri Lanka, Malawi, Indonesia, Cambodia, and veiled countries where preaching the gospel is against the law. There are many mission challenges, because in some places where there is no Adventist presence, it takes about two years of sharing the love of Jesus with non-Christians who live in these areas before they open their hearts to Christ.
Please give sacrificially to support these missionaries and pray for these missionaries and their families. If you feel called to be a missionary there are many opportunities to work in unreached people groups. Visit vividfaith.com to explore missionary opportunities.
We invite you to GO! Go through prayer! Go through giving! Go through service!

Honoring Military Persons
This week we want to honor our military people-Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy-presently serving and who have served in the past, Seventh-day Adventist or not. They have all taken an oath to "support and defend' the U.S. Constitution, for which many have been wounded or given their lives. November 11 is the national day of recognition of the living. We thank each of you for your service and pray that God will sustain, guide, and protect you as you live the oath you took, "so help (you) God." In our international community, we must also recognize service for other countries. Let us all remember them in our prayers.
