Financial stewardship and its relationship to financial support, administrative practices and faithfulness: a study in a sample of Adventist members in southeastern Peru. This study investigates the relationship between financial stewardship knowledge, commitment to church financial support, church administrative practices and faithfulness in tithe and offering giving in a sample of Adventist parishioners in southeastern Peru. With a quantitative descriptive correlational design, data were collected from 187 active members through a structured questionnaire. The results reveal that a deeper knowledge of the doctrinal principles of financial stewardship is significantly correlated with greater faithfulness in the giving of tithes and offerings (Rho = 0.592, p < 0.05). Likewise, commitment to church financial support and perceived ethical administrative practices also showed a positive correlation with financial faithfulness (Rho = 0.596 and Rho = 0.569, respectively). Taken together, the statistical analysis showed that these three variables are interrelated, suggesting the importance of promoting doctrinal education, strengthening spiritual commitment, and ensuring administrative transparency to foster greater economic participation in the Adventist community in southwestern Peru.
History of Adventism in Trujillo, Peru 1905-1943: challenges of the local culture. In Trujillo, there were pre-Hispanic cultures with religious tendencies that were conquered by the Catholic faith without being eradicated. This indigenous Catholic syncretism, with the passing of time, became so deeply rooted that it seemed impossible to admit any other faith. In this context, at the beginning of the 20th century, the Adventists entered Trujillo bringing the light of the gospel to guide and educate with the Bible. Their ultimate goal was to establish a church. However, Adventist colporteurs, pastors and believers continually faced the challenges of the local culture, but prevailed. After thirty-eight years of hard work, the Adventist church was able to establish itself, with the challenge of spreading the gospel to all of Trujillo
Beginning and consolidation of Adventism in Soritor (1960-1980). Adventism in Peru has experienced rapid growth across various regions, a phenomenon that has been widely documented. However, in the San Martin region, particularly in the city of Soritor, there are no records detailing the factors that led to the onset and establishment of Adventism in that area. For this reason, this article aims to describe the origins, growth, and expansion of the Adventist church in Soritor. This study is based on an analysis of available literature, as well as testimonies from brethren who witnessed this historical process. Additionally, accounts have been gathered from pioneers and descendants of eyewitnesses, who have preserved the memory of the events that shaped the history of this church.
An approach to evangelism strategies for Islamic women. This article presents an approach to evangelism strategies aimed at Islamic women, a vulnerable social group within Islam. Analyzing Islamic doctrine, cultural traditions and the social role of women in Muslim societies, the study proposes five fundamental steps to approach these women with the Christian message. It stresses the importance of recognizing divine sovereignty over salvation, adapting the gospel to their cultural context and using a respectful approach that does not impose ideas, but allows for a gradual process of transformation. It also highlights the value of presenting Jesus as a defender of women's rights, marking a difference with Islamic regulations on the treatment of women.
