We are invited into a mission of eternal significance. Even now, the promised latter rain of the Holy Spirit is beginning to fall. In this promise, we are called to step forward in faith — trusting that God will accomplish His work through His people.
Our God-given mission is to reach all people across North Pacific Union and beyond with the Christ-centered Adventist message of hope and wholeness.
This distinctive message, rooted in the Three Angels' Messages of Rev. 14:6–12, is centered on the eternal gospel of Jesus Christ. It speaks to a world marked by division, anger and brokenness — yet it also points to a people who are preparing for Christ’s return.
Together, we are seeking unity, praying with purpose and longing for His coming in power and glory. We know that only Jesus Christ can restore what has been broken and bring God’s creation back to His original design.
The evil one stole the innocence of humanity. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, was sent by the Father to take upon Himself human flesh. Fully God and fully human, He provided for humanity what we could not provide for ourselves after the fall: perfect righteousness.
Since the fall of Adam and Eve, humanity has been born in sin — inclined toward it and separated from God. Humanity is spiritually dead, and the wage for sin is eternal death.
Jesus won the battle for the salvation of humanity. By living a perfect life in human flesh, He became sin for us on the cross so that we could become the righteousness of God in Him.
Jesus suffered the curse of the second death so we may receive the gift of eternal life in Him. In Christ, we have been made alive. On the cross, Jesus also demonstrated that God is love and He desires to adopt us into His family.
The Holy Spirit, who lives in us, works out the victory Christ won in our lives. We are not left to live the Christian life on our own — we are not spiritual orphans. The Holy Spirit becomes our Guardian, Guide and Teacher of spiritual truth, empowering us to live in Christ. The power to overcome sin is His work.
The Spirit was the greatest gift Christ could give us upon His ascension. We receive Him as we pray in humility and recognize our need.
Christ will soon return to our rebellious, sin-stricken planet. He will bring an end to violence and evil, restore the earth and dwell with us for eternity. Pain and death will be no more.
The world needs to hear this message and see it embodied in those who believe it. This is our mission.
The Godhead itself models this mission. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit work in perfect unity for the salvation and restoration of humanity and continue in concert until the great controversy is brought to its conclusion.
Christ has called us into that same shared work. We are a community of believers joining Him in this mission. We cannot grow weary. We must not lose faith in the power of the gospel or the blood He shed for forgiveness.
We press forward in unity, sharing the good news that God is love and that Jesus will return soon. He who lives in us is greater than He who is in the world. We must pray for His strength, wisdom and power as we seek those lost in sin and lies.
The darkest part of the night is right before dawn. Soon we shall see Jesus, the Bright and Morning Star, appear in the eastern sky. Those who love Him and are alive at that time will shout, “This is our God, whom we have waited for!” Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King!
Let’s keep looking up. Jesus will transform us into His image and restore the earth. Together, let us pray for the latter rain of the Spirit and move forward with our God-given mission. It’s beginning to rain — the signs are everywhere.
