A Gift of Life, A Gift of Light

by Doug Bing, Washington Conference president

My heart was warmed recently when the news featured a father and his son from Lincoln, Nebraska, who went to a busy intersection, parked their car, set up a table and then erected a sign that said, “Free toilet paper and hand sanitizer for the elderly.”

Stories like this are happening across the nation right now as people pull together to help each other in this time of health crisis. Of course, there are other stories of those who hoarded supplies and now are trying to sell those same supplies at very inflated prices.

Adventist Schools Provides Continuous Learning


The 19 Adventist schools in western Washington efficiently transitioned to distance learning programs, whether online or by paper packets, to provide continuous learning for scholars. Teachers quickly adopted new methods of instruction and interaction to aid students and parents.

“Adventist Education isn’t cutting our students short,” says Craig Mattson, Washington Conference vice president for education. “Where the state is offering academic and minimum requirement waivers, Adventist Education doesn’t need this because our students are still learning and meeting academic requirements.”

Sabbath Reading for Kids


With many church buildings closed because of COVID-19, children aren’t able to pick up copies of their favorite Sabbath magazines. Pacific Press Publishing Association has decided to make its weekly children’s publications—Our Little Friend, Primary Treasure, and Guide—available in PDF format on each magazine’s own website for free. The weekly magazines will continue to appear for as long as the coronavirus threat keeps church buildings closed.
