Andrew Carter first fired an automatic weapon at the age of 14 when he joined a street gang in Jamaica’s capital, Kingston.
He spent the next 15 years talking tough and shooting people as he rose through the ranks to become a leader of a gang engaging in the illegal sales of gasoline and marijuana.
Then one evening, several friends were chatting on the porch of Andrew’s house, and one of them accidentally fired an automatic weapon into the roof. Nobody was injured, but the incident scared Andrew’s girlfriend, Annette, who fell out of the bed in fright. She pleaded with Andrew to move to her uncle’s house in another town.

A nation-wide drive to bring physical and spiritual healing saw Seventh-day Adventist members in Uganda reach over 3,000 sites in the last two weeks. Adventist-sponsored activities offered Bible studies and free medical camps, which are garnering the praise and support of local governments in that African nation.
Medical camps in Uganda follow the principles of Total Member Involvement (TMI), a plan by the world church that encourages every church member to take on an active role in ministering to others and sharing the good news of Jesus.

Would God go into a bar? Fermin says He did.
Fermin Espinoza Marin grew up in a Seventh-day Adventist home in Mexico, but he left God as an adult. He drank and smoked. He grew to hate his life so much that he longed to die. He told his old friends, “If I am found dead one day, don’t blame anyone because I wanted it.”
Then Fermin looked for new friends. He hung out with thieves and other criminals, but he didn’t treat them like friends. He yelled at them. He called them bad names. He threatened them. He hoped that they would get angry and kill him.
