Happy New Year saints of God. May peace, love, and prosperity follow you.

This quarter we feature the East-Central Africa Division, whose territory includes 11 countries: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. In this region of 419 million people, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has 4.5 million members, or about one Adventist for every 93 people. Three years ago, the ratio was one Adventist for every 100 people.

This quarter’s Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will assist six mission projects in five countries.
