the spiritual, physical, and social needs of the residents in the
community at Miami Edison Middle School located at 6101 NW

as well as Bible Studies. Health and physical makeovers have
been presented nightly by professionals of the community. Baby

needs of the community, Gospel singers have included: Lo Lo Harris,
Anthony Wigham, the renown recording artists, "Virtue" presented a
Mini Concert on Saturday, July 29th. Musical talents also included:

other local persons.
The Kingdom Kids were action heroes with nightly fun, games, stories,
videos, music, and snacks provided by the Crusade. This well-planned
program for the youth from ages 3 - 16 was coordinated by Associate
Revivalist, Jackie Ross, and a number of dedicated workers. The youth
were able to discover the power of trust, courage, forgiveness,
obedience and love.
Bible Counselors, Pat Staley, Oakwood College senior ministerial students,
lay Bible Counselors, local participating Pastors, and Jackie Ross, Associate
Revivalist labored untiringly in witnessing to persons in the Miami metropolis
areas regarding this wonderful message, and encouraged people to accept
Christ as their Saviour. Amazing Facts Lessons were used as good ground
work before the meeting throughout the area where the meeting was held to
build an interest in the study of the Bible, and to sow seeds for a successful
harvest of souls. Certificates of completion for the Amazing Facts Lessons
were provided to all persons at the Revival. The Southeastern Conference
Administration, and all Pastors in the Miami area kept prayer in the forefront,
and they attended when availability allowed them to.
It was simply marvelous to see persons of the community load buses at
Edison Middle School on Sabbath morning, July 28, which was coordinated
by Evangelist Ross, Pastors: Byrd, McCalla and McCottry. A beautiful setting
was provided at one of the Marriott Hotel's in Miami for a well-planned and
executed Seminar by Evangelist Ross. His presentation was inclusive of
the following:
1. "The Change of the Sabbath
2. How Man Changed the Sabbath
3. First Sunday Law Enacted
4. Protestantism Speaks
5. Catholicism Speaks
6. A History of Calendar Change"
A Cooperative Learning Style was utilized with potential baptism candidates
sharing spiritual experiences, feelings, and ideas in groups. Group members
were able to formulate questions to ask Evangelist Ross for general discussion
in using the Mixed Pair Share Method. The main purpose Evangelist Ross
hosted this informative Sabbath Seminar was to encourage, and establish within
the candidates a trust in the Bible. The need to follow, and diligently study God's
Holy Word was presented as a must. Men, women, boys, and girls were able to
focus on Bible truths that we as SDA members hold so dearly to our hearts.
On the final Sabbath, August 4, Evangelist Ross climaxed the Abundant Living
Crusade on a spiritual high with men, women, boys, and girls buried in Holy
Baptism. Oh yes, they repented, and came to Jesus! Follow-up of this great
Evangelism Revival has been formulated by participating Pastors: Byrd,
McCalla, and McCottry. "To God Be the Glory Great Things He Hath Done
Through This Great Abundant Living Crusade."
