More than 30,000 people across Inter-America joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church in a live March 15 satellite evangelism program held at the National Arena in Kingston, Jamaica. The program, Pentecost and More, is in its second year and was designed to get every church member across the region involved in evangelism. The baptisms took place in nearly 40 countries spanning the Inter-American region of the Adventist Church. "The significance of it is not so much the numbers that we were able to achieve today," Israel Leito, president of the Adventist Church in Inter-America told the Jamaica Observer. "It is the fact that the whole church in Inter-America was involved in evangelism over the last two weeks because the members, pastors, everybody alike, was involved." At last year's event nearly 45,000 members joined the church through baptism causing the church's membership in that region to surpass 3 million for the first time. The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Inter-America covers Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the northern tip of South America. [ANN Staff]
