Pacific Union ASI Chapter 2011-2012 Evangelistic Projects
Liberty or Death DVD
Production started in May, 2011, on this major project for ASI Pacific Union. When completed, the "Liberty or Death" DVD will be used by multiple organizations and individuals to awaken people to the end-time issues. It will be available to all ASI members for a very low cost. Funding goal = $10,000.
Finish the Work
Finish the Work is our own Pacific Union ASI team of young adults that we sponsor as they go to churches and youth groups around our Union sharing, witnessing, and getting youth involved. During the past 2 years they have been responsible for over 100 baptisms. Our chapter pays for their meals, travel expenses, and supplies as needed. Two year funding goal = $2,500.
Loma Linda Inspire
Inspire works with former foster-care girls who have turned 18 and finished high school, and are therefore no longer eligible for the foster-care system. This private nonprofit charity helps the young women with housing, transportation, and other needs in the program that requires them to attend college or vocational classes full time, work at part-time jobs, attend counseling sessions, and meet with mentors. Loma Linda Inspire will use volunteer mentors from many different local churches and schools to teach skills in the areas of health, cooking, music, finance, and many others, to help the young women get a new start in their lives, give them valuable abilities and skills, and inspire them to go on to college. The spiritual component will be a strong witness for helping these vulnerable young women start their new lives with confidence. This small gift from Pasific Union ASI will be used to help furnish the newly donated living home for these women. Funding goal = $1,500.
Living Waters International
Daryl and Mary Jo Oft have shown us what clean water can do to transform lives in Africa. They have built wells, developed a feeding center for orphans, supplied them with uniforms and schooling, developed a large garden, taught women to bake bread, supplied a solar oven, and basically transformed lives in the region where they are working. They have used our previous donation from 2010 to buy a truck that can be used to carry supples to help build churches all over this region of Africa. Daryl and his son have supervised the building and planned building of over 70 churches, working together with the One-Day Church project of ASI and Maranatha. Funding goal = $2,500.
SOULS West
SOULS West is a time-tested concept of education. Like the school of the prophets, SOULS West was established to develop church leadership, teach evangelism (Matt. 28:19,20), and cement our youth into the plan of salvation as taught and loved by Seventh-day Adventists. In SOULS West, young adults learn leadership skills, literature evangelism skills, personal evangelism skills, as well as finance, health ministry, and how to win souls to the Lord. Our offering will help in the scholarship fund for worthy students that have worked hard over their 2-year course but still need a little more to cover the cost of their training. Funding goal = $2,500.
3 Angels Medical Ministry
One of our ASI Pacific Union members spends at least half of his time each year in India. Currently he is training about 24 young people to do health evangelism in Mumbai (Bombay), the largest city in India and the fifth largest city in the world, with 20 million people, and Bangalore, another of the largest cities in India. With our emphasis on training young people, we wish to further this work to a population in the cities of India that sometimes can only be reached through health and humanitarian methods. This offering will provide for training that will equip these young people to reach out to their city with the gospel medical missionary work. Funding goal = $2,500.
Creation Illustrated
Creation and worship is the final issue in these end times. How does our view of creation affect our worship? What is the greatest evidence of creation? Tom, Jennifer, and Melissa Ish are the publishers of Creation Illustrated magazine. This ASI grant goes toward several projects including putting Creation Illustrated into schools and to help fund production of nature spots for TV and radio, a Creation Evangelism DVD series, and a Creation Campus website and smart phone app.
