DM Pastors Attend SSD Ministerial Convention and Stewardship Summit

“… that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.”

Col. 1:9

62 workers of Davao Mission composed of administrators, directors and pastors were among the throng of 3,200 participants all throughout Southern-Asia Pacific Division who gathered in Jakarta, Indonesia for the Ministerial Convention and Stewardship Summit on July 28- August 1, 2026.

All participants were accommodated at GBI Baselia Convention Center (Christ Cathedral), and were blessed by the lectures given by church leaders in the Ministerial and Stewardship Departments of the General Conference (GC) of the Seventh-day Adventists. Pastoral responsibilities were emphasized to all participants which even include ministries to children, spouses aside from the members of their respective churches. It was also highlighted to them that stewardship is wholistic, an act of worship and is not about the monetary amount but the entirety of the heart.

Themed Building Up His People, the convention stressed the Lordship of Jesus in the life of ministers, and Elder Paul Douglas, GC Treasurer stated in his Hour of Worship Homily,

“Before the gospel can be in our sermons, it should be in our soul.”

Let’s continually pray for our church ministers as they lead us in our spiritual journey and in our mission which is to prepare people for heaven.
