3 Evangelism Updates


Here are some quick updates on evangelism from around our conference:

Hope Awakens – We have 10 churches participating in this month-long program with It Is Written and John Bradshaw. With social media advertising, we have had an estimated 2,000 people in western Washington register for this event. Around 50% of those registered are assigned to one of our 10 participating churches. The other 50% are in what we are calling “dark territories" from an area where we do not have a participating church. Four Bible workers in our conference are managing 1,000+ names for follow-up connections.

Watch at hopeawakens.com, via Roku (search for the It Is Written channel), or the It Is Written app.

Plus - It Is Written is offering free, inspirational wallpapers for your phone, tablet, or computer!

Pacific Press is offering a special "Truth Matters" Signs magazine on COVID-19 with bulk rates available. Help your neighbors understand how to face the crisis with confidence. Order the Truth Matters sharing literature through the Adventist Book Center. Plus see a digital copy of this magazine!
