If you’ve been called to be a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, you are in for a lot of joy mixed with quite a few challenges! How can you be faithful to the mission of taking the Adventist Message to all the world in this generation and at the same time juggle the responsibilities of family, health, personal time with Jesus and pastoral ministry? This website is designed to give you many useful insights. This site is maintained by the North Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Ministerial Department.
Pastor Serns:
Please contact me via my e-mail. I’m SDA struggling with Sabbath issues at work.
Thanks,
Cindy
Hi Cindy—
Thanks for your question about help for a Sabbath work issue.
My partners in ministry, Greg Hamilton and Rhonda Bolton, specialize in helping people in your situation. I recommend that first you check out their website- http://www.nrla.com – then click on “Mediation Services” then “Sabbath”), which is loaded with good help.
Blessings to you, and remember that no problem is ever as big as God is!! Check out this verse–
Thought for the Day (from the Adult Bible Study Guide for today): NIV Job 42:1 Then Job replied to the LORD: 2 “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
What time do you folks meet on Sabbath, we would like to visit. Thanks Karen
Hi Karen–
Though my ministry takes me around the northwest and the world, my home church is the Meadow Glade Seventh-day Adventist Church. You can see the time and location information at http://eadventist.net/search/organization.asp?org=ANIFK1. We would love for you to visit or join!
The second Sabbath/Saturday afternoon of each month we lead the youth in an outreach activity. Our target Jan-Jun 2008 is the community of Battle Ground, WA. You are welcome to join us for that as well.
Blessings to you. Dan Serns
Thought for the Day (from the Adult Bible Study Guide for today): NIV Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is– his good, pleasing and perfect will.
I would like very much prayers for my son Matt & Tammy, Mark & Priscilla, Mike & Shannon, Mario & Alicia. Also for a friend Rex Spofford, and don’t forget to pray for me. I would like victory over all debt that i have with the businesses, so i can spend more time doing ministry work. I have 2 gift shops a bed and breakfast and a wholesale business. We mail books tapes, we give them to clients and we pray and talk with people. I love the Lord, and love to savor his presence. I want to be ready for him along with my family and lots of friends.
I was wondering does Chaplain Barry Black pray in the name of JESUS CHRIST at senate meetings.
I read about previous chaplains being fired or asked not to pray in the name of JESUS CHRIST. I have searched the web but cannot find the answer. Please email me back. Thank you and GOD bless.

I asked the same question about Chaplain Black after hearing him pray at a prayer breakfast and he did not say in the name of Jesus Christ. A Black preacher from North Carolina (not an SDA) offered prayer at a session of Congress and he closed by saying “In the name of Jesus Christ.” I said to my wife, if he does it and Barry doesn’t do it in the Senate that speaks to our commitment.
I recall being told when I served as a city councilman not to say at the end of my benediction the name of Jesus Christ because this is a diverse service. Of course I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ or the name. I did and they told me that I would not be invited again to the YMCA’s annual dinner to offer a prayer.
Barry has to trust God that He will provide protection for Him. Furthermore, in these last and evil days, being terminated because he said the name of Jesus Christ, would propel him in the journals around the world and the revenue lost from the senate would be made up through his speaking engagements.
Praise God. Amen
I DO NOT SEE ANY INFORMATIONS ABOUT YOUR ADDRESSES AT YOUR WEBSITE.
HOW CAN I SEND OUR QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS TO YOU????
Dear Arie,
Thank you for your comment. You can post any questions and requests you may have right here and we will do our best to answer them.
Hello Marella,
I have just rediscovered your website and as far I understood it’s a website that belongs to Dan Serns. My compter has crashed several times due to attack from outside. Even, my first website with several Biblestudies has been destroyed by Hackers. Those guys hates people who exposed the Illuminati. That’s the only reason that I can give. I made a lot of research about Secretet Societies and the international network of the Illuminati during 30 years and since a few years I am giving lectures about that topic sothat people wil understand the end time prophecies more clearly.
Anyhow, a generous donation made it possible to buy a new computer in August 2009 and sincethen I tried to find all my websites(over 1200), and today I have found your website again.
I have read a comment about Leo Schreven and what is the problem with him?
We have invited him for a campmeeting in the Netherlands 3 years ago. So, we are wondering why he is not alowed to preach in certain Adventist Churches. Hopefully, you can clarify it.
I am SDA since I was born, because our parents were the pioneers of the SDA Church in Sorong in Netherlands New Guinea in 1948. Nowedays they named this Island Irian Jaya.
Together with my wife, So Nhu(Chinese from Vietnam) we have started with our faith based ministry in 1986 and are reaching the unreached resettled refugees in Europe with the everlasting gospel according to the methods of Jesus Christ.
We have to assist nearly 300 resettled refugees from several parts of the world with the legal matters as well as their social, material, and physical needs every year! Crisis situations like suicidal tendencies or other tragic situation within family often arises. We are not financially supported by large numbers of people or by the Church, but we are totally depending on God’s grace.
For this reason, I need Powerpoint Biblelessons in order to reach them in a simple way. Can you help us?
I am looking forward to your early reply at our e-mail address. Thanks a lot.
May God bless you.
Arie Nainggolan
Evangelist and director A.R.C.Active Refugee Care
