These initiatives aim to equip church members with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively serve and spread the gospel. It signifies a hopeful new chapter for the brethren within the Southern Mindanao Mission territory. The church members are now united in one purpose, one calling, and one message: to proclaim Jesus Christ and prepare for His soon return.

The turnover ceremony demonstrates the division’s commitment to empowering local missions and churches. By handing over the training center, the division is entrusting the Southern Mindanao Mission with the responsibility of nurturing and developing its members. And the Adventist Training Center will serve as a hub for leadership development, providing training and resources for church leaders and members. This will enable them to effectively serve their communities and share the gospel with others. Discipleship training will also be a key focus area of the center. This will involve mentoring and guiding church members in their spiritual journeys, helping them to deepen their relationship with God and become more effective witnesses for Christ.
Spiritual formation is another critical aspect of the center’s mission. This will involve providing opportunities for church members to grow in their faith, develop a deeper understanding of God’s word, and cultivate a stronger sense of community and purpose. The Southern Mindanao Mission is well-positioned to oversee the Adventist Training Center. With its deep understanding of the local context and needs, the mission can tailor the center’s programs and services to meet the specific requirements of its members. The turnover of the Adventist Training Center is a testament to the division’s confidence in the Southern Mindanao Mission’s leadership and capabilities. It demonstrates a commitment to collaboration and partnership, recognizing that local churches and missions are best placed to drive spiritual growth and development.

As the Southern Mindanao Mission takes over the Adventist Training Center, it is expected that the center will become a vibrant hub of spiritual activity. The mission will likely develop new programs and initiatives to support leadership development, discipleship training, and spiritual formation. The Adventist Church’s mission is to share the gospel with the world and prepare people for Christ’s soon return, and the turnover is a significant step towards achieving this mission in the Southern Mindanao Mission territory. By investing in leadership development, discipleship training, and spiritual formation, the Adventist Church can build a strong foundation for future growth and ministry. This will enable church members to effectively serve their communities and share the gospel with others.
