Thousands of people were baptized across Zimbabwe on Sabbath as one of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s biggest initiatives to share Jesus resulted in the unified efforts of many groups, including ADRA, ASI, Light Bearers, and scores of church members who gave Bible studies.
Baptismal numbers were trickling into the Zimbabwe Union Conference’s headquarters on Sunday, but preliminary estimates indicated that church leaders had met their goal of baptizing 30,000 people during a two-week evangelistic meeting that ended Sabbath, May 30.

Rather than travel to South America on the usual mission trip to build housing, an Adventist professor tasked his class with constructing one of the world’s smallest homes.
The result — a fully-functional and livable miniature house measuring a mere 148 square feet (13 square meters) on an 18-foor (5.5-meter) flatbed trailer — provides a model that the Andrews University students plan to replicate and build for underprivileged people in the community.
