May 12th was World Nurses’ Day, a worldwide occasion to highlight the importance of nurses in the healthcare continuum and thank nurses for what they do.
Historically, as well as today, nurses are at the forefront of fighting epidemics and pandemics -providing high quality and respectful treatment and care. They are often the first and sometimes the only health professional that people see and the quality of their initial assessment, care and treatment is vital.
The Covid-19 pandemic is a…

Seventy-five years ago, on May 8th, Europeans rejoiced that World War II had come to an end. Today, historic memorials and war graves are a stark reminder of the horror of conflict. They are also a reminder to Christians to focus on the way of peace.
As Jesus encouraged His disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Seventh-day Adventist church leaders from across the Inter-American Division paused to celebrate 50 days of daily prayer during a two-and-a-half-hour video conference program on the evening of May 13. A total of 1,000 leaders and church members from the 24 union territories went online to pray, worship, and share testimonies of answered prayers at the midpoint of the 100 Days of Prayer initiative launched by the Adventist World Church late in March 2020.
“We have seen the marvelous goodness of…

You have a weekly routine–work, school, friends, volunteering, church–but does your weekly routine include worrying about whether your church building will fall apart?
That is Lilian Naluminoz’s concern each week.
Each day Lilian walks into the Zambian bush to cut down a tree, which she burns into charcoal. She puts the charcoal into large bags and sells them to earn a living to support her ten children.
But on Sabbath, Lilian and her kids go to church at the Lwendge Seventh-day Adventist…

The Chinle Seventh-day Adventist Church isn’t exactly located in the best neighborhood in Chinle, a town of 4,500 people on the Navajo Reservation in the U.S. state of Arizona.
As the pastor, I live in a trailer beside the church building. Several well-respected neighbors, including a Navajo Nation police officer, live in nearby trailers. But one house is looked down on as the local “drug house.” Its unkempt yard and constant stream of random foot and vehicle traffic lend credibility to its…

It’s 5am on a Sunday morning in early April. Although Fiji’s capital of Suva is in lockdown, 12-year-old Nasoni Junior is already awake and ready to feed the homeless on the city streets.
Today, Junior is joining his parents as he has done so many times before, but this time he is more reluctant. The police have been very strict in arresting people, and authorities have not made it clear whether Junior and his team are allowed to continue their ministry.
Junior’s team is called “MISSION-1”,…

It’s hard to knock on someone’s door, even if we already know them. In fact, it’s not even socially acceptable nowadays to just show up unexpectedly at someone’s house in case they are busy when we stop by. We must call and schedule a visit first. Add the need for social (physical) distancing, and it becomes clear that the old way of evangelizing can no longer be the primary method. But you don’t have to knock on a stranger’s door to share your faith. Nor do you have to create the content….

I am at the end of a long battle against COVID-19 that has lasted nearly eight weeks. I still find it challenging to stand upright because I feel weak and suffer from vertigo, which makes the simplest daily chores risky. Even when I am sitting down, I still endure sudden headaches and a constant daze.
These past two months, I spent almost seven weeks in bed, and this has transformed my way of looking at life and its priorities. In this, I am not unique. People talk about a “post COVID-19…
