First Sabbath Offering for the Angolan Union Headquarters

The SDARM Northeast Angolan Field was organized in 2015 by the General Conference, to serve three provinces—Kwanza North, Uíge, and Malanje. The latter is located inside the headquarters of the North Central Angolan Field. The region has an area of 181,110 km² and an estimated population of 3,550,774 inhabitants. The SDARM came to this region in 1978 with a gradual start. However, in 1990, by God’s grace, the work had become definitively established in the region and since then the message has not stopped. Significant advances have been made and the message of present truth has reached several nearby places in the region.

Our need right now is for an office building with work rooms for the employees of the Angolan Union, a library, and an auditorium for conferences.

We have acquired land in a suburban area with easy access. We hope that in this space we can construct the desired building to rightly represent the sacred work of God in this region.

In contemplating the great task ahead of us, we need an institutional organization that will allow the coordination and planning of activities in perfect order—keeping in mind that “[God] requires that order and system be observed in the conduct of church affairs today no less than in the days of old. He desires His work to be carried forward with thoroughness and exactness so that He may place upon it the seal of His approval. Christian is to be united with Christian, church with church, the human instrumentality cooperating with the divine, every agency subordinate to the Holy Spirit, and all combined in giving to the world the good tidings of the grace of God.”—The Acts of the Apostles, p. 96.

The message of salvation must reach all lands, and we are sure that the Lord “will not fail, nor be broken, until he sends judgment on the earth; and the isles shall wait for his doctrine” (Isaiah 42:4).

In this we ask our dear brothers and sisters around the world to assist us by generously donating your offering to this project to help spread the gospel to souls in this vast territory of Angola. May the Lord God richly bless you.

Your brothers and sisters from the Northeast Angola Union
