Adventist Laymen’s Services and Industries (ASi) will invest millions in at least 42 mission projects, it was announced during the organization’s annual convention in Houston, Texas, United States, on August 5. The money, coming from the special offering traditionally raised on the Sabbath of the convention, will help fund self-supported schools and ministries, outreach and evangelistic projects, and health and nonprofit initiatives around the world.
“Your offerings will make an impact for eternity,” said Debbie Young, from Quiet Moments Ministries, who introduced three of the projects to the audience just before the offering was taken on Sabbath morning. “They have the potential of changing lives for Christ.”

Sadie McKenzie stood on the porch of her house in a village in the Central American country of Belize. The strangest thing was happening.
A young white man walked through an alley toward her. Then he stopped, turned around, and walked away.
A few minutes later, the man reappeared and slowly made his way toward her again. Then he stopped, turned around, and walked away.
Sadie decided that if he did the same thing a third time, she would stop him and demand to know why he kept turning back.
