The Toledo First church recently embarked on a remarkable journey of faith and community engagement through its evangelism series, themed Fall BLAST (Building Lives Around Solid Truth).
En marzo, unos 776 asistentes, incluidos pastores y sus cónyuges, se reunieron en Hershey, Pennsylvania, para el Taller de Evangelismo de Columbia Union “Yo estoy contigo”.
“Esta es la tercera reunión ministerial que hemos tenido en Columbia Union desde el 2000; que esta pueda ser la última. Que esta pueda ser en la que dijiste: 'Yo estuve allí, fui a buscar al Espíritu Santo para que me fortaleciera, y el Espíritu cayó sobre mí', dijo Dave Weigley, ahora presidente retirado de Columbia Union, durante el primer evento de la reunión.

Have you ever met someone whose kindness is like a beacon, illuminating the lives of those around them? Loriann Korley (pictured above), a Blue Mountain Academy (BMA) junior, is that rare soul who leaves everyone pondering the profound impact of a simple act of kindness.
Faculty and staff at BMA have witnessed Korley’s kindness firsthand. Matthew White, a math teacher, notes, “I have noticed how she is often singing or humming an uplifting spiritual song.”
During a history class trip and various in-campus activities, Gay Tanamal, the finance treasurer, observed Korley’s leadership talents. “She goes out of her way to help others,” he says.

I can definitely say coming to Shenandoah Valley Academy (SVA) was a God-worked plan. My name is Zaida Galva, and I am a senior from New York City, a place where you are confronted with lots of challenges on a daily basis. City life is extremely fast-paced, and you never really have a chance to establish deep relationships with those around you. That all changed when I arrived at SVA.
