"SDA Pioneer History & Gateway Case Study" by Johnny Wong

"SDA Pioneer History and Gateway Case Study" by Johnny Wong [HQ]

When we discovered what our SDA pioneers did in soul winning, we realised they followed the paradigm found in the New Testament. We can learn from their pioneering spirit as they enter new cities and countries in the early history of the SDA work. Gateway in the last 10 years have adopted this model and we have seen the grace of God. Be inspired as you see the spirit of the pioneers.  Ready for an amazing journey with God?
