Abraham: The First Missionary

Memory Text: so also Abraham believed
God, and it was credited to him as
righteousness. Understand, then, that those
who have faith are children of Abraham.
Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and
announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: All nations will be
blessed through you (Galatians 3:6-8NIV).

We had seen a lot of changes in church leadership during this past

week. Presidents and total administration changed in some regions of the
world where concerns were expressed for more transparency, integrity and
accountability. A delegate from West Africa went to the microphone to testify
that the Holy Spirit is indeed at work, seeing change of leadership. In
EuroAsia (former USSR, including Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and all the
central Asian republics) a new godly President, Michael Kaminski, was
elected. He is the first ever Russian leader since the 1980s. Until now,
through all the turbulent years of perestroika, and fall of USSR, foreigners
governed the church, raising a new generation of leaders. The EuroAsian
Division also receives new Secretary, a young leader from Ukraine who
transformed the church there in the past 5 years as the Union president.
Many of you heard the report, how in two conferences the Conference offices
were vacated to give its facilities for the Adventist Schools opening! Thats
setting priorities on Ministry!
Many retiring leaders were replaced with younger. While it is Gods
movement, the people are still human, with all kinds of limitations. We must
pray for new leaders elected in each of World divisions, and as many Unions
will prepare to seek replacement for their leaders who had taken greater
responsibilities, we must also pray for Union elections that will take place in
the following two months.
There are also some things that stayed the same. BY now most of you
are in the know, that the vote on Women Ordination to be delegated to
each Division did not pass. On Wednesday, July 8, the Alamodome was
filled as if it were Sabbath! Some 700 delegates who were not around in the
first 5 days of the session showed up for vote! In total 2363 delegates voted:
5 abstained, 977 said YES, and 1381 said NO, a margin of 42:58 %
What does it mean for women in ministry? The outcome of the vote is
that we stay on the current policy, that we remain as is each Union is
responsible for making decisions on ordination . Women will continue as
elders, preachers, teachers, pastors of churches, as no one, even among
conservatives, would dare to object to the spiritual giftedness distributed by
the Holy Spirit to women as well as menbut without official endorsement of
their functional equality. One of the discoveries made at this session was
that the Global South is not only large in numbers, but more vocal than ever.
While North America, Europe and Australia had invested financially over the
past decades in developing Adventism in the Global South, more than
money is needed. Questions are raised that the time has come to consider
the Mission at home, where the Gospel is needed most is in our
neighbourhoods. Pray for Mission everywhere!

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
