Qu'est-ce que la Bible signifie pour vous et comment cela affecte-t-il votre vie ? Pour les Adventistes du Septième Jour, la Bible - la Sainte Parole de Dieu - est fondamentale, primordiale et reste notre seul credo. La Bible est la lettre de Dieu à l'humanité. Elle raconte son histoire et révèle son grand plan de salut. En lisant et en étudiant la Bible, nous apprenons l'amour et les lois de Dieu, comment nous relier à Lui et les uns aux autres, et découvrir ce que l'avenir nous réserve. Ce trésor intemporel guide nos vies, répond à nos questions et inspire notre culte. Il dépeint une image de Dieu, nous attire vers lui et transforme notre caractère.

Le Comité Exécutif de la Fédération de l'Ohio a récemment nommé Roy M. Simpson comme le nouveau trésorier de la fédération.
Mr Simpson a su très tôt qu'il voulait servir l'Église Adventiste du Septième Jour, mais pas en tant que pasteur comme son père, mais spécifiquement dans le domaine des finances. Afin d'acquérir l'expérience qu'il savait nécessaire, il s'est porté volontaire à l'âge de 16 ans en tant que caissier au Département du Trésor de la Fédération locale de l’Honduras Atlantique. Là, il a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec le comptable et le trésorier, qui étaient disposés à le former et à travailler avec lui, afin de lui permettre d'apprendre comment fonctionne une fédération.

What is ReCharge, and why did 85 high school students, along with their chaperones, commute to the Kettering (Ohio) church in January?
"ReCharge is a day set in the middle of school year, just for high school-aged students,” shares Edward Marton, Ohio Conference youth director. “Sometimes it’s in the middle that we need the presence of Christ, and sometimes it’s in the middle that we get discouraged,” he says.

Marco Estrada had no idea he would end up being a pastor. “As a matter of fact,” he said, “my dream was to be a soldier.” But God had other plans. Estrada, who was raised Catholic, immigrated to Atlantic City, N.J., from Mexico at the age of 15, and worked as a cook at a casino for 14 years. After enlisting in the Lord’s Army, he decided to return to Mexico to attain his bachelor’s degree in Theology from Montemorelos University.

With the support of its school board and church family, Mountain View Conference's Parkersburg Academy has made a bold move in their school program this year. They are offering a non-conventional kindergarten through second-grade education called “Forest Classroom”—a classroom in the woods with no walls or artificial lights.
Under the leadership of principal/teacher Monica Zill, who implemented this program, Julie Henson teaches this classroom out in nature.
The Forest Classroom offers students an opportunity to be children, to play, explore and take risks. Being outdoors in the richness of God’s nature offers support for health, emotional, physical, social and cognitive development that an indoor environment cannot reach, says Henson.
