More than two hundred and thirty individuals were recognized and awarded with plaques and certificates for their service and contribution to the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in East Jamaica Conference (EJC) at a special Lord Transform Me Membership Appreciation on January 15, 2017. The event was held at the Hagley Park SDA Church and marked the official launch of 2017 as the ‘Year of Proclamation’.
Guest speaker for the event was Dr. Balvin Braham, Assistant to the President / Evangelism, Training and Development at the Inter-American Division who said three things come together when we think of Proclamation :- Baptisms, Retention and the Kingdom.
“When we baptize we have plans for conservation and we are not talking conservation for church membership but conservation for God’s Kingdom’, Braham said.
