This article tells, from a historical perspective, the missionary work of Ferdinand Stahl and his wife, Ana. The impact of the ministry of this couple in favor of the development of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Peru is well-known. Therefore, this article shows the seven places where the Stahl couple served before, during and after working in the missionary field called Peruvian Mission and later Inca Union. At every place or missionary stop they were, it is pointed out the commitment and effort of the missionary couple as well as the difficulties and challenges they faced as pioneers of the Adventist work in Peru.
The spiritual development has always been a pivotal axis for Adventist education. The educational purposes have been clearly established from the very beginning by Ellen G. White writings and the Adventist theology. The numerical and organizational growth of the institutions require an appropriate assessment of the educational efforts focused on spiritual growth of the students. The Spiritual Master Plan (SMP) should reflect those purposes. The search process for making the spirituality a relevant factor or the most transcendent one in Adventist education, and despite the educational level applied to, is still a challenge for administrators, leaders, chaplains, and teachers. The philosophic-biblical principles for spiritual growth require being transferred to a practical experience so that the planning process would allow the establishment of clear indicators for their measurement and evaluation.
Volunteering has gained considerable attention within society. It is a way to show concern for others, but it can also be loaded with personal and selfish goals. This study looks at the relationship between the Third Sector and volunteering, and seeks to identify the real motivations that lead individuals to engage in voluntary activities. Therefore, the Volunteer Functions Inventory model was used, which collected responses from 130 volunteers, and concluded that among the six profiles proposed, the one related to values, altruism and humanitarianism is the great motivator of individuals in volunteering. Finally, we propose a reflection on the people management process, associated with attracting, recruiting and retaining volunteers, significantly considering the motivational profiles identified, in order to improve voluntary practices and experiences.
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the word הלך, “to walk”, used in Genesis 5:22, 24 highlights and displays along the Old Testament essential features for the daily life of a true disciple. In the same way, it makes a contrast with Hebrews 11:5, a passage where the experience of Enoch is narrated. In that sense, the study analyzes more than twenty Bible verses of the Old Testament, which compared to New Testament passages, give evidence of the features of a true believer, and as consequence, for discipleship.
Since its beginnings, the Early Christianity was predominantly an urban religion. In contrast, the Seventh-day Adventist Church emerged as a rural religious movement and has struggled to reach large urban centers with its message. The present paper investigates whether the use of one of the evangelistic strategies of early Christianity, the home-churches, can be useful to the current Seventh-day Adventist Church to carry out urban evangelism. With this objective, a documentary analysis is carried out to determine the characteristics and benefits of home-churches in apostolic Christianity. Then the implications of these advantages and their possible applicability in the current urban evangelistic context is developed.
