Next Gen Ministers Preach in Mindoro By Blair Lemke Over the last two weeks the NNSW Conference has had a team of 34 young adults and Next Generation Ministers with their mentors conducting a large-scale evangelism campaign on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. A joint initiative of the Southern Asia Pacific Division, Northern Philippine Union, South-Central Luzon Conference, Adventist World Radio and the North New South Wales Conference, the evangelism campaign covered 40 sites across the region of Oriental Mindoro and was received exceptionally well by the locals. A four-day medical mission, hosted by Adventist World Radio and supported by the local government, ran concurrently with the first few days of the evangelism campaign and provided free medical care to over 5000 patients offering dental care, health check-ups, minor surgeries, prescription glasses, hair cuts, massages and more. Our team were actively involved in providing this care and praying for and ministering to the patients and invitations to attend the nightly meetings were extended.
