IMC participants enjoyed learning experiences from various mission booths and educational booths
Among them, the local church mission booth, which was first attempted, introduced the evangelism activities of various churches in NSD to help find ways to practice and participate in each region. Numerous examples and case studies of mission work in actions in different churches were shared on site.
At the same time, more than 20 seminars were organized to present the path the Adventist Church and its members in many fields including medical care, family, children, campus, and religious liberty must take. At the seminars where eminent Adventist speakers in the field held the microphone, we illuminated practical methods and imparted knowledge on how to lead all participants who are preparing for Christ’s return to participate in the spirit of evangelism.
