Los hermanos de New Jersey fueron protagonistas en un esfuerzo evangelístico muy bendecido. A principios de este año los hermanos comenzaron a orar por sus amigos.
Se organizaron grupos pequeños a los que se invitaron a estos amigos para compartir el estudio de lecciones de compasión y fe. En abril se llevaron a cabo más de 200 reuniones de evangelismo y en mayo y junio vinieron las semanas de cosecha.

Earlier in the year, members from across the New Jersey Conference started praying for their friends and reaching them by showing acts of love and compassion. Members then invited their friends to more than 200 small groups, where they studied about God’s compassion and faith. By April each of the small groups held a week of evangelism, led by lay evangelists.

Jorge Aguero, New Jersy Conference Personal Ministries director, recently wrote Acts of Compassion and Faith, a practical Bible study guide. It is specifically designed for small groups or family settings. Each chapter includes three sections: a specific Bible lesson, a discovery of Jesus’ teachings and a practical way to share His messages, love and compassion. The guides are available in English and Spanish.
Eight teams from the Columbia Union Conference placed first at the recent North American Division Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) in Chicago. Six teams placed second. To achieve first place, a team must score 90 percent of the top scoring team's score. Second place teams must earn 80 percent of the top scoring team's score.
