SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS SUPPORT FAMILY

I was very pleased to find that the Seventh Day Adventist Church plans another family crusade in this country during this year. We are very proud to regard the SDA church as friends.

The crusade last year was mind-boggling. Conducted in Jack Pidik Park over 2 weeks, the campaign brought together the widest possible range of expertise to cover all possible aspects of loving family life.

The SDA church has long accepted part-ownership of the family message. Their home study booklets for family regularly have the family issue for study and discussion.

Most memorable at the crusade last year was the family of 8 children who came up on the stage with their parents to explain their responsibilities within their family.

The oldest boy of about 17 years had various duties in looking after his brothers and sisters. So too his 14 year old sister.

The youngest child helped the washing of dishes and bringing the clothes in from the line. Good husbands and wives in the making here.

There was no mention of RIGHTS only RESPONSIBILITIES. They did not have to talk of these things. Loving families have rights. That goes without saying.

The crusade was conducted in conjunction with the Department for Community Development, two major rocks in the support of family.
