Where Can I Find The Addresses Of Important Websites And Apps With The SDA Church Initiatives Or Programs?
There are a number of helpful sites and apps, depending on what your needs are. Adventist.org is the flagship website of the church, and has a wealth of information ranging from our fundamental beliefs to various statements on social issues, a list of special days, church history, and news. You can also download the Adventist News Network app to stay in touch with Adventist news from around the world.
RevivalAndReformation.org is one of the premier initiatives
of the church. On this website, you may sign up for
the official Bible reading plan of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church. This year, you may also receive a daily reading from
the book Conflict and Courage by Ellen White. You can also
read inspirational stories of answered prayer and personal
transformation, and find a number of helpful resources to
support your spiritual vitality and that of your family, your
church, and your community.
TenDaysofPrayer.org is another important initiative that
seeks to engage churches in a powerful corporate prayer
experience. While the dates for the program are always in
January, the materials are accessible throughout the year,
so you can implement the program during a timeframe that
works for your church. Don’t minimize this program for its
power in educating a church in the spiritual discipline of corporate
prayer.
The Ministerial Association has a number of helpful sites
and apps which include MinistryMagazine.org, EldersDigest.org,
and Shepherdess’s Journal for Ministry Spouses,
which is hosted at MinisterialAssociation.org/Spouses. On
these sites, you can find every issue of these journals that
has ever been published! These are excellent resources for
developing sermons, sharpening your skills, and helping you
grow in your ministry. Ministry Magazine and Elder’s Digest
also provide apps for you to easily access back issues from
your mobile device. MinistryinMotion.tv also provides information
and inspiration through interviews with ministry
professionals from around the world. The show is produced
for The Hope Channel, but access is available on-demand
through the website and YouTube.
AdventistArchives.org contains a tremendous number
of different resources if you are interested in historical research
and church history. The church also makes available
a large number of past issues of various papers, magazines,
and journals which are all searchable. You can also find data
on specific studies that the church has conducted of various
trends and membership issues and attitudes.
EllenWhite.org is an official website of the Ellen G White
Estate, which has been entrusted to manage the writings of
Mrs. White. Here you can search an online database of her
writings for free, and gain clarity on the statements of her
critics and how to respond to them. You can also get information
on programs with databases of material written
by Ellen White that you can install on Mac or Windows, or
on your iOS or Android handset. Ellen White apps in a wide
variety of languages can be found through the app store on
your smartphone.
