General Conference 2010 - #1

Every 5 years some 2400 delegates from around the world meet to transact the legal business of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This year we are meeting in Atlanta at the World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome. Though most of the time is taken with the election of officers for the World Church and changing rules and regulations, most of the other 50-70 thousand persons who attend come for one grand worship and fellowship. I have taught for 40 years in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the USA; and spoke and lectured on every continent of the world except Antarctica. Therefore, at a meeting like this I can’t take a few steps without renewing friendships with past students, colleagues, and even briefly-met attendees at one of my Bible Conferences and Seminars or preaching events. It is like a little heaven on earth. I must, must, must, take this opportunity and use this public forum to especially thank Mayra Malcolm and Lois Peters for all they have done to make this very special… I hope you take the time to glance at the photos; you may see someone you know!

But the Lord has not made it clear, and he will allow the church process to work.
