0 WHAT'S SPECIAL about Sabbath, the 14th of May? That's the day for the ADRA SDisaster & Relief Offering. During this past year we really have ap- preciated the support given by our members in Canada and also the Alberta Government and the Federal Government. Once again, we have received approximately a 3:1 match for donations given; so again this year your money will be multiplied for use in helping those living in 3rd world countries. Highlights of African Tour Just having returned from more than a month in Western and Southern Africa, I was encouraged to see the results of the projects which have been funded by our offerings. The needs are always great, but, for example in the country of Niger, it was exciting to see a group of believers meeting on Sabbath. It was only a few years ago when there was no work at all in this country by our church. We went out to see a little garden-and-well project that was be- ing supervised by Marjorie Perry. A native of Jamaica in the Caribbean, she lives in a small home which is provided by the local people for her. She showed us the first fruits of her garden: the radishes, the squash, the tomatoes; and as we were leav- ing, she said "Please take these". I asked, "How can we take the first

A freak gymnastic accident unfolds into one family's heart-gripping journey through unthinkable despair to amazing hope in . . .

"How could we have known that on February 19, 1981, at 5:23 p.m. the life of our family would be changed forever? A half-second misjudgment of timing on a double-forward flip, and Terry, our 18-year-old son, lay paralyzed on the gymnasium floor. "This is the story of our family's struggle to conquer disaster, to accept the unacceptable, and to make the best of it." — THE WILKS FAMILY This powerful hardcover book will rivet your attention for hours, so find a comfortable place to settle into. It is a true story. One that will probably move you to tears as Terry struggles to survive in the hospital and to live a "normal" life at home. Most important, it is a story of sustaining hope, enduring comfort, abiding inspiration, and simple joy.
