Jesus Project's New Web site
The
largest global book distribution project in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church was launched on Sabbath evening, July 2, 2005, at the General Conference
session in St. Louis, Missouri. Sponsored by the General Conference and the world
divisions in cooperation with the Ellen G. White Estate, the project entitled
"Connecting With Jesus" will provide ten Ellen White books with study
guides to two million Adventist families around the world during a five year period.
The books and study guides will be published in many languages at subsidized prices
that all can afford. In some places they will also be made available in electronic
format. The ten Ellen White books in the set are:
| Patriarchs
and Prophets | Steps
to Christ |
| Prophets
and Kings | Christian
Service |
| The
Desire of Ages | Counsels
for the Church |
| The
Acts of the Apostles | Counsels
on Stewardship |
| The
Great Controversy | The
Ministry of Healing |
In
the beginning of the Advent movement, God worked through Ellen White to help shape
the mission and message of the church. Making these Heaven-sent messages available
to new church members, as well as to others who do not now have access to them,
will help assure the on-going unity of the church, both theologically and organizationally.
But to make this exciting "Connecting With Jesus" program succeed, investment
partners are needed.
Do you want to help deepen the church's spirituality?
Do you want to help assure that the prophetic mission and message of the Adventist
Church will be preserved and shared?
Do you want to help maintain the unique identity of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church until Jesus returns?
If so, we believe you will be eager to invest in this project. The total cost
of the "Connecting With Jesus" program is projected to be approximately
US $8,000,000. Of that amount, the General Conference is contributing $1,000,000.
In addition, the divisions and union conferences are making sums available. But
for the plan to succeed, the support of all church members is needed. Working
together, we can make it happen!
Pray
for the project, and please make a sacrificial investment. Your check should be
made payable to the "General Conference", and be mailed to:
