Tell The World

• What is Tell the World

The new quinquennium which was ushered in on November 12, 2005, challenged the Union family, not with a new mission, but with a consciousness of the reality and urgency of the unfinished task. That task embodies our mission: The preaching of the everlasting gospel to all the world in the context of Revelation 14:6-12. We were all made aware through the inaugural address by our president, Pastor Patrick Allen, of the evangelistic thrust of the Adventist World Church including West Indies Union Conference, to TELL THE WORLD of the love and soon coming of Jesus.

Realizing the magnitude of the task and the imperfection of man, we dare not venture on this journey unprepared. January 4, 2006, was set aside as Pastors' Day of Fasting and Prayer throughout the West Indies Union territory. The purpose of this day was to fortify us with the appropriate spiritual arsenal necessary to combat the enemy of all righteousness. I must admit that plans in all areas did not materialize as was anticipated, but the blessings received by the Pastors will long be remembered.

Pastor's Comments

“This is the first of its kind, I was blessed in many ways! hope there will be a repeat in the future.”

“This was a divinely inspired program me, something the pastors have needed for a long time, in a sense, it was a repeat of Pentecost.”

“I Hope this will be an annual convocation for all pastors, spirituality is the key to our success in ministry.”

As one travels around the Union field the impact of January 4, is evident among Pastors and members of the Union family. This spiritual platform became the springboard for the official launching of TELL THE WORLD. This was accomplished by way of our Pastor's meetings and Tell the World Sabbath January 14, 2006. Materials prepared such as posters, teaching information were circulated, and presently much has been done, however, a great work is yet to be accomplished.

“The work of God in this earth will never be finished until the men and women comprising the church membership rally to the cause and unite their efforts with that of the Pastors and church officers." GWp. 352

God's spirit convicts sinners, and He places them in the arms of the members of the church. Our job is to lead them by way of love, compassion and understanding, which will enable them to develop a meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ. There is somebody in your church community and you are the only individual who can reach such a one. God is therefore counting on you and me to do our part in preparing men and women to enjoy the Edenic restoration of all things.

“None but those who have fortified their minds with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict" GC. p. 593

"Only those who have been diligent students of the Scriptures and who have received the love of the truth will be shielded from the powerful delusion that will take the world. GC. 625.

What an impact the Church will continue to have on the world around us, when God's people living out the life of Christ in selfless service, a praying and spirit-filled people nurtured by the Word of God, united under one mission of fulfilling the great destiny as God's ambassador to a waiting world.
