Welcome to the General Conference Secretariat website. This is the place where you will find the information on what the needs and challenges of the world-wide Seventh-day Adventist church are that you can help to fill. You will see a variety of needs that will challenge your skills, commitment and adventure. The thrill of serving in a strange land, with people of a different background and culture and possibly language, will cause your heart to beat faster, your excitement to increase, and your prayer life to accelerate.

The need is for young, and those not so young, to respond to share the good news of the gospel with those who need to hear it. Your task may be to demonstrate the essence of the gospel in working clothes out in the market square. It may be to work far from the asphalt jungle of the big, crowded cities. You may be invited to serve out on the front lines of emerging civilization, where the most up-to-date mode of travel may be by foot, by canoe, or by ox-cart.

On the other hand, you may be asked to serve in some corporate office where the latest connection with the world may be as up-to-date as tomorrow morning's e-mail. Wherever it may be, you are in for a treat.

So log on, click on the various buttons and links, and follow the instructions, and enroll for service.
