18 MESSENGER/JUNE 1993 QUEBEC "Salvation Unlimited" Gospel Crusade Comes to Montreal To celebrate its tenth anniver- sary, the Montreal Filipino S.D.A. church decided to sponsor the "Salvation Unlimited" Gospel Crusade of evangelist George Atiga. Under the leadership of Pastor Darielyn Belonio, a plan- ning committee was set up early in the process and organized and publicized this event. Evangelist George Atiga, who heads the Asian churches of North America Division, has travelled throughout the United States, Canada and Asia to spread his "Salvation Unlimited" message. Complemented by the use of visual aids and music, the crusade consisted of 17 meetings held from March 26 to April 17, 1993. The main theme is how, Standing between Pastor Belonio, left, and Pastor Aliga, right, are the very happy new members of the through his acceptance of Christ's Montreal Filipino S.D.A. Church. life-giving grace, the believer can be saved and see his life completely Large Baptism at Westmount transformed. Throughout his presentations, Pastor Atiga uses a proper blend of humour and anec- dotes to illustrate and sustain his listeners' attention. Each meeting ended with an appeal to the au- dience to respond positively to Christ's gift of grace and was followed by the serving of refreshments in the fellowship hall. Whether measured by atten- dance statistics or the enthusiasm generated, this gospel crusade can only be described as a great suc- cess. On the last day of the crusade, which was the most Evangelist A.
