SUMMARY:Offertory Reading – Texas Vision
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTexas Vision\n\n \n\n“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it.” That is a quote by C.S. Lewis. A friend of mine went to a large public university for his undergraduate and graduate studies, and he faced many challenges as he tried to live out his Christian walk while being surrounded by those who thought faith was a laughable concept. He had this C.S. Lewis quote taped to his mirror and in his Bible, as a reminder that his faith in Jesus Christ is the most important illuminating factor in his life and the force that guides his steps.\n\n \n\nFortunately, a few years into college, a small Adventist campus ministry was started, which was supported by the local church. He got connected to this ministry, and while studying to become an architect, he was also learning leadership skills such as how to lead Bible study through this campus ministry. College campus ministries can be lifelines for college students who are looking to connect with other believers while away at college.\n\n \n\nToday’s offering is for our local conference advance known as Texas Vision. The Texas Vision offering benefits three areas within the Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists: worthy student funding for our academies (25%), Lake Whitney Ranch development (50%) and church or school building appropriations (25%).\n\n \n\nWhen you give, your gift ripples beyond that amount and touches people forever.\n\n \n\nVisión de Texas\n\n \n\n“Creo en el cristianismo como creo que el sol ha salido. No solo porque lo veo sino porque gracias a eso puedo ver todo lo demás”. Esta es una cita del escritor C.S. Lewis. Un amigo mío cursó sus estudios universitarios y posgrado en una universidad pública, y se enfrentó a muchos retos al intentar vivir su vida cristiana rodeado de personas que pensaban que la fe es un concepto ridículo. Él tenía esta cita de C.S Lewis pegada en su espejo y en su Biblia, como un recordatorio de que su fe en Cristo es el factor iluminador más importante de su vida y la fuerza que guía sus pasos.\n\n \n\nCuando llevaba unos años en la universidad, surgió un pequeño ministerio adventista en el campus, que contaba con el apoyo de la iglesia local. Se unió a este grupo y al mismo tiempo que estudiaba arquitectura, aprendía habilidades de liderazgo y a dar estudios bíblicos. Los ministerios en campus universitarios pueden ser un salvavidas para los estudiantes que buscan contactarse con otros creyentes mientras están estudiando.\n\n \n\nLa ofrenda de hoy es para nuestra conferencia local, conocida como la ofrenda Visión de Texas. La ofrenda Visión de Texas beneficia en tres áreas a los Adventistas de la Conferencia de Texas: financiamiento estudiantil para nuestras academias (25%), Desarrollo del Rancho de Lake Whitney (50%) y compra de edificios para Iglesias o escuelas (25%).\n\n \n\nCuando tu das, tu donación se extiende más allá de esa cantidad y toca a las personas para siempre.\n\n \n\n \n\n
