June 11, 2025

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – On Feb. 21-22, It Is Written, the Southwestern Union, and the Texico Conference all collaborated to present a Pentecost 2025 training event held at the Albuquerque Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church. Designed for church leaders and members eager to participate in Pentecost 2025, the seminar featured presentations from Wes Peppers, It Is Written evangelism director, and Stephen Brooks, Southwestern Union executive secretary. 

For Spanish-speaking leaders and members, a similar training event took place at the Albuquerque North Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church. Presenters included Robert Costa, ministerial secretary of the General Conference and director/speaker for Escrito Está; Osvaldo Rigacci, Southwestern Union vice president for multicultural ministries; and Saul Flores, district pastor. 

Speakers at both events emphasized the call to action, encouraging every church member to engage in evangelism, whether through traditional methods or through new outreach strategies. The unifying theme was clear: seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance, pray fervently and step forward in faith to share the Gospel.

These training events laid the groundwork for the evangelistic efforts planned for July. With Pentecost 2025 in full swing, churches across the division are mobilizing for a powerful year of ministry.
