In a presentation to the Executive Committee during the 2016 Annual Council, Petras Bahadur, director of the Global Center for Adventist Muslim Relations (GCAMR), talked about opportunities that exist through Centers of Influence such as hospitals, and schools for Seventh-day Adventists to reach out to Muslims in their community.
On October 10, Bahadur discussed the needs and challenges of reaching out to the Muslim community and how the Adventist Church can meet those needs. GCAMR seeks to build bridges, bringing the two religions to a better understanding of one another, and present a different approach of expressing love and embracing the Islamic world while introducing Jesus.

In the world, though not of it, the Seventh-day Adventist Church faces the same economic conditions confronting any global enterprise.
Church treasurer Juan Prestol-Puesán told Annual Council delegates Monday, Oct. 10, that the continued strength of the U.S. dollar versus eight global currencies means the church’s “income, liquidity, and working capital levels will take time to return to the levels they were before they dropped in 2015.”
