Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dave Weigley, President, Columbia Union Conference (Click here to see our video greeting!)

On behalf of the officers and leaders here, I want to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Teleka Patrick, a young Adventist medical school student who is missing. Despite the challenges we've faced this year, we've seen God moving through His people with baptisms, new church plants, positive reports from our conferences, increased enrollment in our schools, and an increase in tithe.

As we look to 2014 my prayer is that we'll personally and corporately rededicate ourselves to the mission of preparing people locally and globally for Christ's soon return and that we'll make prayer a priority in our homes, churches, schools, ministries and communities. As we do so, we'll experience the joy of God's presence, which is the first step toward achieving what we in the Columbia Union call "Experiencing the Mission."

Thank you and God bless.
