As an integral part of the Christian community, Seventh-day Adventists have been called by God to reach out to the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalized in this decaying and sinful world. Our mission includes a ministry to all people groups in society.
During his earthly ministry, Jesus modelled for us how He expects us to behave toward our needy brothers and sisters, and today Jesus expects us to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. He said, “Inasmuch as you do this to the least of these My brethren, you do it unto me.” We cannot “pass by on the other side” and pretend that we do not see the suffering of others.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church appreciates all our valued partners, and you our friends who, year after year, join us to provide the means to alleviate some of the need and suffering we see around us. You have been our faithful partners over these many years and we say thanks for your support. This year we invite you once again to partner with us in this project, to assist the needy and vulnerable in our society.
