Hundreds gathered at Portmore Seventh-day Adventist Church in Portmore, St. Catherine, Jamaica, to celebrate the culmination of country-wide evangelism efforts during a livestreamed program on Sep. 28, 2024.
The event highlighted the Inter-American Division's (IAD) third territory-wide “All the Family in Mission” initiative, which seeks to involve church members to engage in personal and public evangelism outreach initiatives in preparation for Jesus' soon coming. The program saw hundreds of persons getting baptized onsite, in dozens of local districts, and regionally across the IAD.
“Today is a day of celebration of what God has been doing and how you have been answering His call,” said Pastor Elie Henry, president of the IAD, as he thanked church leaders and members at the beginning of the program.

Pastor Henry said he was impressed with the impact Dennis Samuels reported about how he was able to engage Adventist families from Mount Carey Adventist Church in St. James, Jamaica, in assisting to provide health and dental services to hundreds of people in needy communities.
