Welcome to Eastgate SDA Church! A message from Student Pastor Rachelle Martling

Before I switched my major to Theology, I wanted to look at other Universities outside of . As I was visiting the Theology department at another school, I had the privilege of meeting another potential student who was visiting from New York. I will never forget his story. Both of us were sitting in the Theology Department’s office waiting for a tour of the department. One of the professors started talking to us about the different programs they offered and asking us about our callings to ministry. This young man began to share his story and why he was interested in studying Theology. He was at least a third generation Adventist and could speak seven different languages. His ministry in New York resulted in dozens of youth and other people being baptized. The conference knew about his ministry and wanted to hire him. After being encouraged by his mentors from church he decided to look at completing a Theology degree. As he shares his story, he asked the important question, “What will these things add towards my education?” The professor responded with, “They will look good on your resume.” I couldn’t help but feel sorry for this person next to me who was working so hard for the Lord but would have to start at the bottom of the Theology program. His works could not earn him a degree. Nicodemus experienced a similar experience when he came to see Jesus one night. Nicodemus believed his works and his Jewish heritage would be enough to earn salvation. How disappointing it was to find out that his works gained him nothing. Instead he learned that salvation comes only through Jesus. Join us tomorrow as we explore, Nicodemus Finds Salvation. As always we will be streaming the service online. You can join in person, as well. We have masks available for use and will be following COVID precautions. ~ Pastor Rachelle

Evangelism

$19,000.00 The young lad told his mother the news. Jesus, the $17,000.00 Miracle Worker, would preach by the Sea of Galilee $15,000.00 that day. He wanted to see Jesus. His mother

$13,000.00

$10,405.37 $10,405.37

$11,000.00 packed him a lunch. The boy didn’t realize that

$9,000.00 what he had in his hand would touch the lives of $7,000.00 thousands that day and for centuries to come.

$5,000.00 He arrived early and found a front-row seat. He $10,231.26 $10,231.26 $3,000.00 never remembered his lunch until near evening. $1,000.00 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec MonthlyGoal: $10,282.50 Then he heard the Master speaking to the disciples about a need for food. He offered Jesus all the food P a g e 2 o f 11 he had. Jesus thanked him and asked the multitude to sit down. He “took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.” Matthew 14:19 That day, 5,000 men, plus women and children, ate their fill of warm bread and salted fish. Jesus told them to gather up the leftovers. Can’t you see the boy filling his bag with the miracle food and rushing home to share with his mother? Not one of the four gospel writers tells us his name. But his actions are recorded for all eternity. As we give today to support evangelistic efforts throughout the North American Division, I want to ask you, what do you have in your hand? God can take the offering you have in your hand and by His touch multiply your offering to bless the lives of thousands.

Towns like Athens, Corinth,

P a g e 5 o f 11 and Ephesus will no longer be lifeless names on a page. Instead, they will be places full of meaning since you will have visited them yourself.

Visiting the Nazareth Village provides an opportunity to see what life in Galilee would have been like in the time of Jesus.

You will encounter many more experiences than those listed. Dr. Cosaert will be both your teacher and guide for all three tours.
