La Trinidad had been damaged in the earthquake and needs repairs. A
home for orphaned and destitute children in the past, is temporarily
closed and is not operating because of the building condition. Our
plans are to repair the building and open it after completion either as a
food bank and family counselling center, a day center for needy
children, or as an full orphanage again. Associated with the orphanage
is a modern high school "Colegio REACH," located on the busy
TRANS AMERICAN highway, and in need to erect a wall to protect
children and the school environment from unwanted traffic. The project
began in 2014 with students from La Sierra University building the wall,
partially, and for the lack of funding the project had been delayed. The
team members had paid for their travel, accommodations and logistics.
We are fundraising for the construction materials to complete the
project. The goals is to raise $10,000. You could contribute either by
giving to (1) REACH Canada (charity # 895034189RR0001)
http://www.reachcanada.org marking Nicaragua Mission; (2)
contributing to the London Church, marking the envelop Nicaragua
Mission, and funds will be transferred through REACH Canada; or (3)
through http://www.gofundme.com/op4mvc

Praying for Revival in our Church

This past Wednesday we began the 100 days of prayer for unity, for
revival, for reconciliation among members, for the Holy Spirit to use our
church. An article by Andy Nash in the review resonated with me this week.
He writes: In North America too many of us are apathetic, secular. Sabbath
schools are sparsely attended. Half of our members dont study Scripture on
their own. Worst of all is the troubling mind-set that being correct about the
Sabbath automatically means that were spiritual. (Does being right about
your spouses birthday mean that youre happily married?) The Sabbath (and
everything else) means nothing outside of a personal relationship with Christ:
nothing, nothing, nothing. And I want to add a few exclamation points at the
end, but, then some may interpret it as screaming
I concur with such a diagnosis after a decade of ministering here in
London. Sooooo many former or nominal Adventists who had not set
foot in the church, besides coming to the parking lot when the veg-mobile is
in town; so many who may have had set their foot in the church, but have not
supported the mission or ministry of our congregation, yet considering
themselves remnant, saved and ready for heaven.
From a recent conversations I had many were not ready for the long haul,
many hoped Jesus would have come by now, and with uncertainty of time
ahead, not sure how to prepare for the marathon of being peculiar. The
concern about being accepting and tolerant had overtaken the responsibility
to help people in need of change. At times I wonder too if we are heading for
the shaking time described in following words: The Church may appear as
about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be
sifted outthe chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible
ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. (Ellen G. White, Selected
Messages Vol. 2, p. 380.)
How passionate are you about our church? I am not asking how much
you know about the history or institutional story of the movement, not about
loyalty to the brand name, but about your passion for the local church family.
Do you care for the Church School, providing faith foundation for the
elementary students? Do you care about Adventurers and Pathfinders
ministries, which need adults support, funding and mentoring for the growing
up generation? What about coming out to interact with youth and teens on
Saturday night vespers? Or have you become a nominal member, just like
other denominations, showing up for the divine hour once a week and then
living a disconnected life the rest of the week? Have you done anything for
the Mission advancement? Do you care to come out for the door-to-door
outreach, surveying needs and prayers of community?
Does it trouble you that the large portion of the young adults in their 30s,
who are members of our extended church family, do not bother to come to
our fellowship at all? Will your loved be saved? Consider whether you are
firm in the time of shaking.

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
