Dear missionaries,
Ellen White wrote, “Let us arouse! The battle is waging. Truth and error are nearing their final
conflict. Let us march under the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel, and fight the good fight of
faith, and win eternal honors; for the truth will triumph, and we may be more than conquerors through
Him who has loved us.” (Review & Herald, Mar. 13, 1888). The church and especially the youth are
called to a high destiny, to share the three angel’s messages to the whole entire world in this our
generation.
Missions are not limited to merely overseas work. The Lord plants his children in a specific
place to work that particular soil. A general sends his soldiers to a specific location with the objective
that those soldier fulfill the mission in their place of deployment. They are not to focus on anything
else. Friends, our battleground is Eastern Canada. Let not the peace and safety which we experience
here in Canada deceive us. Countless lives are being lost here. Many pass to their graves unwarned,
lost for eternity. We must arouse and heed the call! The great controversy is raging all around us in
our beloved country, and we must enlist as soldiers for the gospel, fight for lost and perishing souls.
We invite all the young Adventists of Eastern Canada to join ECYC and the Newfoundland
conference of Seventh-day Adventists to wage an aggressive warfare in Northeastern Canada this
coming June. As you read through this application form, prayerfully consider your participation and
role on this mission. May the Lord richly bless you in seeking to further His kingdom and hasten the
coming of our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In His Service,
George Cho
President
