Resources – “Called” to Launch Soon

A Digital Magazine for Adventist Clergy

The NAD Ministerial Department plans to launch a new digital magazine for Adventist clergy in North America in first quarter 2013. This electronic magazine will be available at no charge for all the pastors in the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist church to download on their iPad, Android, and Kindle Fire tablet devices according to Dave Gemmell, Associate Director of NAD Ministerial.

CALLED will delivery timely text articles, video, audio, and web interactivity. The new delivery system will replace the Pastor’s DVD which has served pastors of the NAD for the past ten years. Gemmell anticipates that CALLED will get pastors the resources they need faster, and more economically. “With 60% of pastors currently owning iPads or other tablets, the time is right to make the move,” says Gemmell.
