Reaching the un-reached in Eastern Canada

August 01 August 15, 2014

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (Mark 15:15)

#! !

My fellow young Seventh-day Adventists, Ellen White wrote, Let us arouse! The battle is waging. Truth and error are nearing their final conflict. Let us march under the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel, and fight the good fight of faith, and win eternal honors; for the truth will triumph, and we may be more than conquerors through Him who has loved us. (Review & Herald, Mar. 13, 1888). The church and especially the youth are called to a high destiny, to share the three angels messages to the whole entire world in this our generation. Mission trips are not limited to merely overseas work. The Lord plants his children in a specific place to work that particular soil. A general sends his soldiers to a specific location with the objective that those soldier fulfill the mission in their place of deployment. They are not to focus on anything else. Friends, our battleground is Eastern Canada. Let not the peace and safety which we experience here in Canada deceive us. Countless lives are being lost here. Many pass to their graves unwarned, lost for eternity. We must arouse and heed the call! The great controversy is raging all around us in our beloved country, and we must enlist as soldiers for the gospel, fight for lost and perishing souls. We invite all the young Adventists of Eastern Canada to join ECYC and the Newfoundland conference of Seventh-day Adventists to wage an aggressive warfare in Northeastern Canada this coming August. As you read through this application form, prayerfully consider your participation and role on this trip. May the Lord richly bless you in seeking to further His kingdom and hasten the coming of our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In His Service,

George Cho, President, Eastern Canada Youth For Christ
