“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people” (Revelation 14:6, NKJV).
Evangelism is exciting and has been considered by some as “the life blood of the church.” If a church is not growing, there is no advancement. On the other hand, if a church is active, there is excitement and expansion. I can hear the singing in the New York subway station.
“As the steel wheels of the New York subway train screeched to a grinding halt at Manhattan’s Hunter College station a strange refrain filled the air. A group of Adventists waiting on the platform began to sing, ‘Lift up the Trumpet and Loud let it ring, Jesus is coming again.’ The echoes of the familiar hymn were picked up by another group of Adventists waiting for a different train on the opposite side of the track. Up and down the line, more voices joined the chorus. Soon the subway station was filled with the glorious, hopeful refrains of ‘Lift up the trumpet. . . . Jesus is coming again’ ” (Mark Finley).
Appeal: The offering today will support the ever-expanding need of evangelism in the North American Division. Your gift will be like singing in the New York subway: “Jesus is coming again”!
