DELEGATE INFORMATION
President
Dear General Conference Session Delegate:
Soon our worldwide Church will be gathering in San Antonio, Texas,
for the 60th General Conference Session. What an opportunity
for God to work through you as a representative from your area
of the world and to guide you, through the Holy Spirit, to make a
contribution to the forward advance of the heaven-born mission
of the Church. We know that you will be blessed abundantly as
you worship, participate in the business meetings, help nurture the
mission plans of the Advent movement, and fellowship with your
sisters and brothers from around the world.
The orientation kit you hold in your hands is provided to guide
you in your role as a delegate. We encourage you to review it
thoroughly prior to your attendance at the Session.
The most important preparation, however, will not be found in this
orientation kit. Rather, it will be found as you and I spend time with
God in prayer, asking for His will to be done in His Church, and in
prayerfully searching and relying on His Holy Word, the Bible, and
His end-time gift to the Church, the Spirit of Prophecy, for guidance
as we seek to carry out the important mission He has given to His
last-day remnant people. Let us give unusual emphasis in placing
our young people in the hands of God for dynamic, practical
service and proclamation of Gods Word as they unite with older
members in sharing with the world Gods distinctive messages found
throughout the Bible, including the last-day messages in Daniel and
Revelation.
Lets continue moving forward together, focusing on Gods
promises, and on the Holy Spirits wonderful work in our personal
lives and in the Church for personal and public witnessing and
evangelism. Let us lift up Gods Word as central in all that we do.
Let Christs righteousness be the theme of our personal and public
expression of who Seventh-day Adventists are----Christs followers
carrying out His loving ministry to those in need---physically,
mentally, socially and spiritually.
Lets pray together for Gods leading in a marvelous way during our
60th General Conference Session as we plead for the outpouring
of the latter rain of the Holy Spirit in anticipation of the soon
second coming of Jesus Christ. God will guide as we review plans
for Mission to the Cities, Reach the World, Comprehensive
Health Ministry and various exciting departmental plans that focus
on Christs method alone involving every church member, church

Juste deux ans avant sa mort, Ellen White dirigea ces mots aux
dlgus du congrs de 1913. Je crois quils sappliquent encore de
nos jours :

sest rvl vous de maintes manires ; il a rempli vos curs de

visibles et invisibles ; maintenant que vous vous runissez une fois de
plus en conseil avec vos frres, vous avez le privilge dtre heureux
dans le Seigneur, de vous rjouir sachant que vous tes soutenus
par sa grce. Que son amour prenne possession de votre esprit
et de votre cur. Ne vous laissez pas gagner par la lassitude, les
soucis et le dcouragementDtournez vos regards de ce qui est
sombre et dcourageant, contemplez Jsus notre grand chef, dont
la direction vigilante assure un glorieux triomphe la cause de la
vrit prsente, laquelle nous avons consacr nos vies et tout ce
