Toward the end of 2024, the Southern Union Conference unveiled its evangelism plan for the year 2025, which called Adventist believers to do the following:

1. Share our table: There is something powerful in sharing a meal with a neighbor or friend. Food fosters fellowship and friendship.

2. Share our home: The Christian home should be a place of warmth where people might gather to engage in the study of the Word of God in a relaxed, trusting, and comfortable atmosphere.

3. Share our Church: With a relationship firmly established from the table to the home, we might invite new friends to worship or attend an evangelistic effort.

These three ways of sharing the Gospel allow new believers to form lasting and Christ-centered relationships.

The Southern Union Office of Education embraced the calling to share to include those of the “House of Faith” as well. In the vastness of our educational system, it is always wonderful to fellowship with those far and near.

It was with immense joy that the Office of Education, under the directorship of Murray Cooper, opened its doors to the North American Division (NAD) to hold the year-end educational council meetings on December 8-12, 2024.

Representatives from all nine union conferences and the universities were in attendance. The Southern Union Office of Education personnel and those from other departments loved sharing their table and work-home. The attendants expressed gratitude for the welcoming environment, delicious food, comfortable gathering space, and the opportunity to connect deeper with brothers and sisters in educational ministry.

While we pray and expect that God will bring a harvest of souls this year of 2025, the NAD gathering at the Southern Union Conference reminded us that it is indeed wonderful and pleasant when God’s people live — and work — together in harmony (Psalm 133: 1).
