Chesapeake Conference

En una serie de reuniones de caravanas, miembros de 17 iglesias alrededor de la Conferencia de Chesapeake se reunieron para animar a los asistentes a ganar almas para Jesús, plantar iglesias multiculturales e iniciar grupos pequeños. 

El orador José D. Espósito, asistente del presidente para evangelismo en la Unión de Columbia, dijo que el liderazgo de la unión está enfatizando la plantación de iglesias multiculturales y multilingües en la comunidad, no solo para las comunidades de inmigrantes de segunda y tercera generación. 

 El evento fue organizado para animar y motivar a los miembros de la iglesia, pero Espósito informa que alrededor del 10 por ciento de los asistentes eran miembros de la comunidad invitados por amigos.

“For I know where I came from and where I am going” (John 8:14, NKJV).

Jesus made three things about Himself clear to those who questioned His identity or the veracity of His claims: He knew Who He was, to Whom He belonged, and where He was going. These three certainties, which Jesus often found the opportunity to articulate in His many encounters with doubters and critics, comprised the firm foundation of His earthly mission and ministry.

Atholton Adventist Academy students help Afghan Refugee families.

Story by Chesapeake Conference Staff

When students from Chesapeake Conference's Atholton Adventist Academy (AAA) in Columbia, Md., saw the needs of Afghan refugees resettling in their local community, they decided they wanted to do something.

Over the past four months, AAA students have raised more than $5,000, collected and sorted donations, delivered food and essential items, and hosted an event in the school’s gymnasium where 18 Afghan families received winter clothing and enjoyed a catered meal.
