Schools across the union were a vital part of the evangelistic vision of Pentecost 2025, using funds for special evangelism events to reach their students and communities. In the 70-plus participating Columbia Union schools, students of all ages—elementary through university level—experienced the joy of allowing the Holy Spirit to work through them.

The Dover First church recently brought public evangelism to the heart of Delaware, holding tent meetings just steps from the State Capitol on the Legislative Mall. The “Hope for Today” series featured guest speaker D. W. West, assistant to the president of Adventist World Radio. Meetings were held on the Legislative Mall during the first week, before concluding at the Dover First church.

The Romney (W.Va.) church took a step of faith this summer. The church invited Pastor Michael Carder, a speaker for Amazing Facts, to lead a three-week evangelistic series. At first, some wondered if it was even possible for a small congregation to host such an event with so many other programs and commitments already taking place across the district. Yet, the members of Romney believed that if God was opening the door, no obstacle was too great.
The Elyria church concluded its Pentecost 2025 evangelistic series earlier this year, adding 161 new individuals to its membership—surpassing the congregation’s previous membership and worship attendance before the campaign.
Before the series began, Elyria had a membership of 100. Andrew Sutton, treasurer of the Ohio Conference, emphasized that in God’s eyes every soul is precious and that even a small number of baptisms makes an evangelistic effort worthwhile.
