The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is scaling up emergency operations to deliver food assistance and water to vulnerable communities on the verge of starvation within the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Uganda.

Members of the Ohio Conference and Allegheny West Conference (AWC) began 2022 with a renewed focus. Led by presidents Marvin C. Brown, III (AWC) and Bob Cundiff (Ohio), members joined together for the second annual 31-day President’s Bible Reading Challenge.

A monthlong journey through the Bible is a fast-paced overview of the Great Controversy from beginning to end—a different interaction with Scripture than typical daily devotional study. Readers must put away most other books and TV in order to accomplish the pace of covering around 39 chapters per day.
