President’s Perspective B Y D O N L I V E S A Y , L A K E U NION PRESIDENT To God Be the Glory hen I was a boy in second grade, my dad came home from a sem- Winary class repeating stories and illustrations he’d heard from a teacher. One story was that of lemonade and ministry—when you put sugar with something sour, you end up with something wonderful. The teacher also spoke of keeping pure as a leader. That teacher was E.E. Cleveland, then as- sociate ministerial director for the Seventh-day Adventist World Church (General Conference). As I write, I am returning from E.E. Cleveland’s funeral. A life journey of 88 years and more than 60 years in ministry, both full-time and in retirement, he is credited with 13,000 baptisms—preaching in cam- paigns on six continents. His was the first evangelistic campaign in the Seventh-day Adventist Church that resulted in 1,000 people joining our community of faith and being baptized. Hundreds of pastors sat at his feet and learned how to lead individuals to Christ. He was a champion for human rights and dignity. In fact, this man has been one of the most influential figures in our church. For more than four hours, those who worked with him and knew him well glorified God and honored the service of this man with descriptors such as: passionate for the message, evangelist, focused, a man of prayer, a man in touch with God, mentor, honest, energetic, organized, a productive leader, teacher, pastor, full of integrity, profound preacher, friend, devoted, seeder of God, patriarch, great church member, influential, ping pong player, effective, champion for those in need and devoted husband. H.M.S. Richards Sr. was well-known to me, and I have held him in high level of esteem as a leader for God. Today, I became convinced of what many others already knew—E.E. Cleveland also has such a place in the Adventist “Hall of the Faithful.” This man fought for right and righteousness. He preached with clarity and conviction, bringing people to Jesus and raising up congregations. He would often (some accounts suggest every day) read 2 Samuel 8. He wished to reflect on David’s success and, more importantly, the reason for his success—reliance on God, following His will and living in His power. For me, this concept is well stated in 1 Corinthians 1:31: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord” (NIV). We all make statements of what we boast about—some with houses, cars, clothing, etc. But for me, I’m thankful for a Bible full of stories of men and women who knew God, understood His power and stayed focused on seeking and doing His will. How about you? When you get up in the morning and walk out of your home, who does your life boast of? E.E. Cleveland Visit www.LakeUnionHerald.org LAKE UNION HERA L D • November 2009 | 3 On Sabbath, April 5, 2008, Dottie was rebaptized at the Warsaw Church. One year later, on Sabbath, April 4, a few days after Dale’s parole, Dale and Dottie walked hand in hand into the Warsaw Church celebrating his first Sabbath! Dur- ing the church praise time, Dale expressed his desire to join the church. On July 18, Dale was baptized in Lake Winona by Harry Hartmann, pastor of the church. A large group of Dale’s friends and family watched from the shoreline as he read a poem he wrote for his baptism (read the poem in the online version of this article at www.LakeUnionHerald.org). Dottie and Dale gave each person a copy of the poem and at- tached two ribbons for them to use in their Bibles as a remem- brance of the special day.

Lucy and Dottie moved to the Warsaw, Indiana, area where they both began attending the Adventist church. Dottie began to study her Bible and soon realized the life she had led was not the great life she had thought it was. As she studied further, Dottie found the peace and comfort she sought. And Dottie knew she had to share this newfound experience in the Lord with Dale. Because of prison regulations, Dottie had to copy each Bible lesson by hand before she could send it to Dale. Dale, in the meantime, had attended prayer and Bible study groups conducted in the prison. At first, he only at- tended just to have something different to do.

  • Adventist Health INTERNATIONAL
    Adventist Health INTERNATIONAL 2001 ANNUAL REPORT PRESIDENT’S REPORT It has been quite a year. Amidst the concerns about security, terrorism, and the understanding of other cultures, AHI has flourished. We have officially grown from two countries to six countries includ- ing nine hospitals and 30 clinics. As you will see in this report, AHI is now active in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guyana, Haiti, Rwanda, and Zambia. Our new hospital building in Gimbie is nearing comple- tion, Davis Memorial Hospital in Guyana is doing well, and strategic plans are being implemented in the new countries, including hospitals with well-known names like Mugonero, Mwami, Yuka, Koza, and Port- au-Prince. Perhaps even more gratifying has been the expansion of the AHI support base. In this report, you will meet the AHI officers who provide considerable time and effort in moving projects forward. We have also been blessed with several extraordinary volunteers who continue to make a real difference in achieving our goals—the stories of Karen Simpson and Kelvin Sawyer are truly inspiring. And finally, there are the many donors and agencies who have confirmed their belief in what AHI is doing by provid- ing financial support. From our board members to the individual staff and volunteers who make it possible, God has woven a tapestry of love for serving others. I want to personally thank the Board of Trustees of Loma Linda University and Medical Center, and later the AHI board, for their willingness to support a new idea and approach. Dr. Calvin Rock, now retired, was chair of those boards during the foundation of AHI.

  • Mystery of Creation in Rabbinic Literature
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 21/1-2 (2010):3-13. Article copyright © 2010 by Alexander Bolotnikov. By Faith or by Knowledge: Mystery of Creation in Rabbinic Literature Alexander Bolotnikov Director, Shalom Learning Center Cincinnati, Ohio During the last half of the 20th century many scholars have recognized the differences between Hebrew and Greek thinking.1 The problem of the origin of this world serves as the best example that illustrates the clash between the Hellenistic and Jewish mentalities. Greek natural philosophers were the first physicists that attempted to resolve the problem of the origins of the universe. They attempted to search for the beginning of every matter and substance. Using their sophisticated creative thinking Greeks produced multiple hypotheses trying to describe and explain the origins of the visible world.2 For example Thales (ca. 624-547 BC) believed that the beginning of everything was water. He taught that all things arose from water and will turn into water. A century later Heraclitus (ca. 530-470 BC) taught that the fire represents a primeval substance, from which all other things arise through thickening and dilution of the fire.3 The fundamental advancement in the Greeks’ worldview arose with the introduction of the concept of ‘matter.’ The founding fathers of the Ancient Greek atomistic 1 For a detailed discussion see Thorief Boman, Hebrew Thought Compared with Greek (New York: W. W.
