Miracle in the Arabian Desert For the first time in history the Seventh-day Adventist

Church owns a building in the Persian Gulf region, the

Ras al-Khaimah Seventh-day Adventist Church. The building has church

facilities that will seat

approximately 1,000

people, as well as of-

fices, apartments, and

guest rooms. The inau-

guration service was

held on Sabbath,

May 21, 2011

The church leaders

expressed gratitude to

the Representatives of

His Highness Sheikh

Saud Bin Saqr Al

Qasimi, ruler of Ras al-

Khaimah, and Supreme

Council members of

United Arab Emirates

for the piece of land graciously granted to the church.

Since December 11, 2007 Adventist Hope TV channel ahs

been broadcasting in Arabic language from Lebanon, reach-

ing 300-million-plus Arabic-speaking community.

Mission of the Three Angels Message continues speedily

around the world, reminding of our responsibility of wit-

nessing to migrant people moving into our neighbourhood!

Baptism requested

People often write in to

request Bibles, or to enrol

in a correspondence

course, or to ask ques-

tions.

This time, June 11, re-

quest was different. A

person (name and country withheld) wrote to Al

Waad requesting baptism for him and his fam-

ily.

"Thanks to your channel, I have found Christ

and I am now convinced that he is my personal

Savior". He writes, "I would like to get baptized

along with my family because I now know that

to be a Christian I need to get baptized like Je-

sus did. Please keep this request very confiden-

tial because I'm afraid that other people may

know. However, I feel peace in my heart."

Praise God for this wonderful news. The min-

istry of Al Waad is bearing fruit, touching lives,

changing hearts. For more than three years Al

Waad is reaching the unreached, and speaking

to those who have not heard.

Al Waad will coordinate with the people con-

cerned to follow up on this request and to keep

it as confidential as possible to protect the lives

of those individuals.

Evangelism or On June 28, 2011 leaders from the World Evan-

gelical Alliance, the World Council of Churches

and the Vatican’s Pontifical Council launched the

document entitled, "Christian Witness in a Multi-

Religious World: Recommendations for Conduct"

during the Dialogue in Geneva.

Pictured from left to right are Jean-Louis Cardi-

nal Tauran, President of the PCID; Rev. Dr Olav

Fykse Tveit, General Secretary of the WCC; and

Rev. Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe, Secretary General of

the WEA; Catholics, Ecumenicals and Evangelicals

united.

For the first time in history bodies representing

evangelicals, mainline Protestants and Catholics

have joined together, after five years of coopera-

tion. The document witnesses an agreement for

ethics in evangelism and conduct in missions, com-

municating that Christians across different back-

grounds and traditions must work together in unity.

Six recommendations are given to all Christians

Elinor Wilson, 91, widow of former Adventist presi-dent, and mother of the current presi-dent passed away

on the morning of June 8 at a care facility in in Dayton, Maryland.

Her passing came almost six months from the December 14, 2010

death of her husband of 68 years, Neal C. Wilson, who had led the

General Conference, the movement's top administrative body, for 11

years. Their son, Ted N. C. Wilson, was elected the 20th president of

the General Conference on June 25, 2010.

"My mother was an extremely loyal, careful, and encouraging per-

son," Ted Wilson wrote in the June 2011 issue of Adventist World

magazine. "She showed me a personal love for Jesus as a Savior and

a friend and instilled in others a simple trust in the teachings of the

Word and what it means to be a Seventh-day Adventist Christian."

Mrs. Wilson was born January 21, 1920, and grew up in Chicago,

Illinois. Her parents, Joseph Neumann from Budapest, Hungary, and

Theresa Wehrderich from Velgersdorf, Austria, separately immi-

grated to the United States and met in the Chicago's German-

speaking community. When Elinor was very young, her mother be-

came a Seventh-day Adventist through evangelistic meetings in the

German language and joined the German Seventh-day Adventist

Church in Chicago.

Elinor's father was a barber, and her mother worked at a number of

jobs at the same time, including stretching curtains and seamstress

work, to put her children through Seventh-day Adventist schools.

Elinor's mother died at age 42 when Elinor was still in college.

Elinor Neumann first attended what was then Emmanuel Mission-

ary College, known today as Andrews University. She then moved to

Pacific Union College, and met Neal Wilson. Immediately after the

two were married in 1942, they prepared for missionary service, first

ministering in Wyoming, and then undertaking Arabic language

classes. The Wilsons departed for Egypt in 1944 in the midst of

World War II. The young couple employed just about every mode of

transportation available to journey through Africa in order to reach

Cairo, Egypt as it was impossible to proceed through the Mediterra-

nean Sea during that time.

During her years in Egypt, Wilson began teaching in an elemen-

tary school, a career that continued when the family moved to Mary-

land. Wilson taught second graders at John Nevins Andrews School

for many years, leaving that work to support her husband in his ex-

tensive ministry travels.

Neal Wilson was named president of the church's North American

Division in 1966. He served in that post until his appointment as

world church president in 1979.

Unlike her ebullient, outgoing husband, Elinor Wilson "was not

necessarily a public person," her son wrote, "except that she was a

second-grade teacher who loved to inculcate beautiful spiritual truths

in her young scholars. She knew how to do that and did it very well."

Ecumenism ?

study the document; build respect and trust with

people of all religions; strengthen religious iden-

tity and faith while at the same time deepening

knowledge and understanding of different relig-

ions; advocate justice and respect for the common

good; call on governments and representatives to

ensure religious freedom for all people; pray for

the well-being of neighbours, recognizing prayer

is integral to the Christian life and of Christian

mission.

Appealing as it may be under unity motto this

document suggests that differences between dif-

ferent Christian denominations are not significant

to warrant conversions, and it is wrong to “steal

sheep” from one Christian group to another. In

fact the only direction that makes sense under this

agreement is return into the fold of the Roman

Catholic church.

On the Pentecost, June 7 series of ordinations

took place, were former Anglican clergy defected

from the Church of England to become Roman

Catholic priests. 54 so far, including 5 bishops.

An Episcopal church in Maryland followed too,

the first in the nation to join the Roman Catholic

Church, both church groups announced Monday.

Both the members and pastor of St. Luke's Epis-

copal parish in Bladensburg, Md., will be convert-

ing to Catholicism under a process set up by the

Vatican to bring disaffected Episcopalians and

Anglicans into its fold.

Many churches see this move as only solution

to combat ordination of women and permitting

gay priests, most recently voted in by the Church

of Scotland on May 24, 2011.

Observing these development provides a chal-

lenge to those who understand the prophecies of

Revelation, especially chapters 13 and 16.

Another milestone for L.A.C.A

London Advent Christian Academy

Soon to be renamed ACES—

Adventist Christian Elementary

School, school constituents celebrated

second Graduation Commencement

ceremony.

School was reopened in 2007 under

leadership of Marilyn Strachan, first

Graduation was held in 2009 for two

students completing Grade 8. Since

the fall of 2009 the school was led by

Patricia Ferreira-Lopez, Principal.

Speaking at the celebration service she

made things extra special highlighting

dreams of each student, inviting the

audience to see them as doctors, pilots,

engineers, politicians, pastors, archi-

tects, and more, and then moving all

into groups of prayer for each student.

Graduation was held on Sunday,

June 27 at 805 Shelborne Street, pre-

senting graduate Michael Golovenko.

It was the end of a big episode—the

school year. The credits rolled with

speeches, but the words “To be Con-

tinued…” are on everyone’s mind.

Parents are already registering children

for the next school year, enrolment

increasing, displaying commitment to

the Mission of the Adventist church of

educating our children not only how to

make living, but how to live.

Quoting Raph Waldo Emerson we

wish to all our students that your

dreams would take you “to the corners

of your smiles, to the highest of your

hopes, to the windows of your oppor-

tunities, and to the most special places

your heart has ever known.”
