When we felt ashamed, he covered us. When we rejected him, he became one of us. When we…

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was living an ordinary life, going about her daily routines, preparing for her marriage that had likely been prearranged. An encounter with God changed all of that. Right in the middle of Mary’s carefully planned life, God sent the angel Gabriel with a greeting and a message. The greeting? “Good morning!

Our Indian Odyssey
While visiting India in 1985, two cousins from different cities asked, “Sister, you have known the Sabbath truth for so long; how is it that you never shared it with us?” We took this as a double message from God to share the Sabbath truth with our relatives. Ten years past, In 1995, we accompanied a team of 25 — pastors, evangelists, doctors, nurses, educators to conduct 7 simultaneous crusades in 7 centers in Andhra Pradesh, India. We invited all our…
