Este verano, unas 15,600 Biblias y más de 100,000 libros El Camino a Cristo llegaron a la sede de la Unión de Columbia en Columbia, Maryland, listas para ser distribuidas a las iglesias y miembros de toda la unión.

Es la segunda distribución a gran escala en los últimos dos años donde los líderes de la unión enviaron los libros a los representantes de los territorios de las ocho conferencias.

Las Biblias se entregaron a las conferencias a un precio muy reducido y los libros El Camino a Cristo fueron financiados, todo gracias a un donante.

WGTS 91.9 celebrated its one-year anniversary on the Eastern Shore with a summer beach concert as part of the “91 Days of Summer.” About one year ago WGTS purchased and launched 88.3 FM. Over 600 listeners enjoyed the afternoon with a concert from the Christian music artist Blessing Offor. Afternoon show hosts Johnny and Stacey Stone broadcasted live from the beach and the WGTS staff served ice cream to everyone as part of the ongoing ice cream tour. 

"We were very excited about our first event at Ocean City. We had a good turnout and look forward to more events on the Eastern Shore," said WGTS Strategic Initiative Director Mike Agee.

Un estudio reciente de salud de la Universidad de Loma Linda encontró que los hombres que consumían alrededor de 430 gramos de productos lácteos por día enfrentaban un riesgo 25% mayor de cáncer de próstata en comparación con los hombres que consumían solo 20.2 gramos de productos lácteos por día.

Además, los hombres que consumían alrededor de 430 gramos de lácteos al día se enfrentaban a un aumento aún mayor del riesgo en comparación con los hombres que no consumían lácteos en sus dietas.

If you say we are living in perilous and challenging times, times that try men’s souls, we agree. If you say we are living in the best and worst of times, we also agree. If you say we are living in the very last days of earth’s history, we most certainly agree.

Indeed, Jesus’ prophecy in Matthew 24:3–14 about the last days and the signs of His return are being fulfilled in our time. They dominate news headlines, posts and tweets.
