Despite the pandemic-related difficulties that continue influencing 2021, several young people undertook a great commitment with God and dedicated a year of their lives to the work of the Lord.
Throughout 2021, a team of dedicated colporteurs has worked diligently in the region of Paraná and Santa Catarina, Brazil. In addition to the leaflets and magazines they distribute, the "BLESSED" colporteur team has implemented a new method of distributing literature. With each health book sold, they include a Study Bible and a Great Controversy or Steps to Christ as a gift, sometimes accompanied by other gifts like fruit and other sweets. So far, they have been assisting and studying with several interested souls that were reached in this manner.
On May 27, 2021, by God’s grace we were able to attend the annual Tennessee-Kentucky campmeeting in person. The 2020 campmeeting took place online, so it was a double blessing to attend in person this year, as we missed seeing one another. We had a wonderful group of 150 guests present.
It was the 22nd of May 2021, and we were spending a beautiful day, a happy Sabbath together. No smoke, no panic, the evening air promised the city a peaceful night. All the activities of the evening were going on, as usual. We perceived no threat.
The Sabbath ended peacefully, and around 6:30 pm, there were flashes of lightning tinted by a red color that we dismissed and attributed to a fire since the houses at the ends of the city are built of boards.
