Three Amazing Women of Prayer
Japan is one of the most difficult countries to reach with the gospel message. That’s why the world church invited a group of Japanese pastors to go to the Philippines to hold evangelistic meetings—some for the very first time—with the hopes they would return to Japan and hold their own series there. The plan was a success, but what we didn’t mention is that three courageous women—with no ministerial training—also felt called to join them and preach their own evangelistic series. Here is a short video of their stories. It reminds us, once again, that God calls not only those who are talented and able to do a task, but He enables all who are willing to go when He calls—and the results will amaze us every time!

Conference Resignation
After four years in service to the Maritime Conference and God's call to her role as Executive Secretary/Education Superintendent/ Camp Ministries/Communications, Teresa Ferreira has tendered her resignation. She has felt honoured to serve this membership, and is confident God's ever-guiding hand will continue to be upon the future of her home conference. She considers her ministry for God to be the lifeblood of her very soul, and challenges people to hold fast to Psalm 16:8 and “not be moved”. Very simply, she leaves this challenge to the Maritimes' peoples - we all must be committed to the remnant cause of service that others may know our Jesus!

Michael Hall began his walk with the Lord at the age of 18 in 2008 and was impressed early on to pursue a path in pastoral ministry. In 2011 he headed to Burman University to complete his BA in Religious Studies. This is where he met his future partner in ministry and wife, Marthe, who encouraged him to go on a mission trip to Guatemala in 2013 for two weeks. After graduation he served as a Bible worker in Montreal for the 2016-2017 year. They still, however, strongly desired to be missionaries abroad and so in August 2017 were off to serve in South Korea, this time for two and a half years. Conducting and participating in Bible studies is one of the things that brings Michael the greatest joy. He hopes to help church members grow closer to God through Bible study, grow into a family, and serve the surrounding community as Christ did so that they too will want to join our eternal family. Michael and Marthe, along with their 14-month old son, are excited to serve with the Maritime Conference. He will be the Pastor over Pugwash, New Glasgow & Truro.

Andrea Sayler's experience with Adventist Education reminds her of the intricacy and beauty of tributaries. She attended Kingsway College for high school, Canadian University College throughout her undergraduate education degree; La Sierra University for her Masters in Education. And currently, is enrolled at Andrews University, where she is completing her Ph.D. She was a teaching principal in a small rural Adventist school and taught for PACeS in the Alberta Conference. At Loma Linda University, she promoted K-12 STEM education in Adventist classrooms. Each of these experiences story of who she is, like tributaries traversing through ecotones, eventually joining together becoming a recognizable river. Andrea is excited about the opportunity now before her. Uncovering and exploring teaching and learning opportunities with teachers, staff, and students thrills her. She is dedicated to journeying with our schools in creating and sustaining safe and equitable learning spaces. Her family intentionally chose the Maritimes to be their home and since making this decision continue to see glimpses of God’s presence. They are grateful for the love and generosity of the people in the Maritimes and the beauty within the Maritime natural setting. She looks forward to journeying alongside the people in this conference as Education Superintendent, joining the many tributaries that make up the river flowing through this conference.
