Nearly all Seventh-day Adventist world division presidents attended ASI’s annual convention for the first time as church leadership stepped up efforts to encourage every church member to actively share the gospel as part of its Total Member Involvement program.
Twelve of the 13 division presidents and Rick McEdward, president of the Adventist Church in the Middle East and North Africa, flew to the U.S. state of Arizona to participate in the annual gathering of lay people: business owners, individual professionals, and supporting ministries.
Adventist Church president Ted N.C. Wilson said he invited the world church leaders to come to Phoenix from Aug. 3 to 6 to gain a better understanding of ASI and to see lay members in evangelistic action.
