Evangelism "EXPLO" in India
NINETEEN hundred and seventy was the year when Seventh-day Adventist attention was riveted on Atlantic City and the General Conference.

One of the Greatest Means for Evangelism
WE WHO are interested in evangelism, eagerly grasp statements from the Spirit of Prophecy writings that identify certain avenues of endeavor as being efficient in be half of soul winning.
