Punta Bolivar, Colombia—From June 9-12, a Youth Convention was held in Punta Bolivar, Colombia under the theme: With Jesus I Will Leave My Footprints.
It was a blessed event with many young people in attendance and special messages and practical activity throughout the four days we spent together. The convention took place beside the beach, and every morning, at five a.m., we met the young people on the beach to run and exercise.
Plymouth, USA—This past January, twenty students from across the United States traveled to Plymouth, California to study God’s Word and deepen their relationship with Him at the Plymouth Leadership College.
Despite the pandemic-related difficulties that continue influencing 2021, several young people undertook a great commitment with God and dedicated a year of their lives to the work of the Lord.
Throughout 2021, a team of dedicated colporteurs has worked diligently in the region of Paraná and Santa Catarina, Brazil. In addition to the leaflets and magazines they distribute, the "BLESSED" colporteur team has implemented a new method of distributing literature. With each health book sold, they include a Study Bible and a Great Controversy or Steps to Christ as a gift, sometimes accompanied by other gifts like fruit and other sweets. So far, they have been assisting and studying with several interested souls that were reached in this manner.
