Generosity Symposium Retrospective
“The Bible does not say money is the root of all evil; it says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. A poor man who, in his heart, worships the idea of being rich is more vulnerable to its evils than a rich man who has a heart to use it all for the Lord.” ― Criss Jami, Healology
An Enormous Thank You
The Generosity Symposium and Adventist Ministries Convention 2023 in Greensboro, NC was a total success. We are happy that so many of you took part in these engaging and thought-provoking seminars. 

We want to give a special thanks to: David Long for coordinating Generosity Sabbath with the local Greensboro pastors, the pastors who welcomed us into their churches, all our guest speakers, and our seminar presenters.
Seminars on Adventist Learning Community
We are pleased to announce that videos of the Generosity Symposium are now available on ALC.

Also, PDFs or PPTs of the seminars can be found on our website.

A Mission-Focused Steward
Training is key for the growth of all institutions. The North American Division (NAD) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church went beyond expectations when all of the leaders of the conferences, unions and other institutions in the division were called for a season of training and refreshing from January 8–11, 2023.
 
Blessed and Memorable
I am very grateful for the invitation by NAD Stewardship Ministries to be one of the mentees for the 2023 Generosity Symposium at Greensboro, North Carolina. Though all this while I kind of knew what stewardship was all about, this symposium has definitely enriched my understanding of stewardship...
