    JAE_Oct_Nov_swcg.qxd 10/6/05 9:35 PM Page 10 What Do We Know About the Qualityand Commitment of Adventist Educators? By Larry D. Burton, Pretoria Gittens-St. Juste, Faith-Ann McGarrell, and Constance C. Nwosu We’ve all heard them—the horror sto- ries about incompetent or poorly trained teachers, administrators, or pro- fessors at Adventist institutions.Those rumors and anecdotes about the quality of Adventist education fly throughout the church at large and within the edu- Wcational system as well. But what are the facts? Profile 2004 (see “The Profile Studies:A Tradition of Inquiry” on page 15) provides evidence that helps to paint a more wholistic picture of Ad- ventist educators in the North Ameri- can Division.And that picture reveals a well-qualified and committed work- force.

  • Indiana Academy Christian Education at Its Best
    OLDING hands is something special with me. After over 35 years HI of marriage, I still enjoy holding hands with my wife, Rose. The magic is still there. Holding hands gives evidence of a number of things. It signifies affection, friendship, assurance, agreement, support and commitment. In Isaiah 41:13, our Heavenly Father makes a reassuring promise to earthlings. He says, "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee" (Emphasis supplied). Have you ever observed a young child who on his own is deathly afraid of dogs but who is comforted and emboldened when his father holds his hand. Likewise, our Heavenly Father extends His hand to encourage and support us. There is really no need for you or me to be afraid if we are holding His hand. We are reminded in Hebrews 11:6 that "without faith it is impossible to please him." Who would dare dispute the necessity of this important factor in the life of every sincere seeker of salvation? Without faith there is no hope of a place in God's kingdom. `Hold Thou I like the way Ellen G. White in her book Gospel Workers, Page 262, defines faith. She says, "Faith is the clasping of the hand of Christ in My Hand' every emergency." She makes an equally important statement in Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, Page 540, "To let go the hold is Robert H. Carter to perish." President It is important that the struggling child of God recognize the Lake Union Conference importance of maintaining contact with our Lord, the source of our power and strength.

  • Ministerium 2013 Vantage Point
    March 2013 SOUTHERN Ministerium 2013 Vantage Point We are Seventh-day Adventists Here in the great Southern Union where God has blessed our feeble efforts to touch people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are intentional about sustaining our focus of inviting all of our members to the following: an intimate relationship with Jesus; evangelizing and discipling; and including every man, woman, boy, girl, and ethnicity in the work of introducing people to Jesus. I’m excited to showcase two pastors, Georges Fleurimond and Ron Hoffecker. One is assigned to a Florida Conference church, and the other to a Southeastern Conference church; both are in Lakeland, Florida. They have creatively embodied our quest to efficiently collaborate in responsible conjoint ministry. Be blessed as you observe. --RCS We are Seventh-day Adventists. We have one message, one hope in the soon coming of our Savior. Despite differences of culture, ethnicity, and distance, we are one movement, preparing a people for that grand event. Each of us is baptized into a local congregation of the World Church. The fact still remains that whether our church is called Ewing Memorial or Lakeland First, the sign out front says “Seventh-day Adventist.” We may not be identical, but we are, and always will be, identifiable. We trust that wherever we go, we will find someone who knows someone we know. We trust that, as we step into any Seventh-day Adventist church, we will find those “who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” There may be differences, but the message is the same.
