- PRIME SITES -

The premier edition of Adventist World magazine will be released
in September, replacing the NAD edition of Adventist Review. Every issue
will contain articles highlighting NAD ministries.

Contact: www.adventistreview.org/ and do a search for
"Adventist World edition" to get a list of articles written about
the new edition of Adventist Review.

There are also other ways we can see what's going on in the
North American Division. Each of our nine unions post their union
magazine online so they are no longer limited to the readership of just
one union. The union magazines are now linked on the North American
Division website at www.nadadventist.org/link/category/1. They are an
excellent resource for ministry ideas, news, mission stories, theology,
and more.

In the August Pacific Union Recorder read about the Hawaiian
Mission Elementary and Intermediate School choirs that sang an entire
evening of music for the Honolulu Zoo's "Spring Sing" as written
by their choir teacher, James Woods. Zoo officials were so delighted
that they arranged for a special performance at the Ala Moana "Center
Stage" which was featured on local TV.

Look up the Columbia Union Visitor July edition and read about
Jenna Collins, the 3rd grader who raised $5,300 for Kettering's Walk
for Women's Wellness.

Watch the Lake Union Herald every month for their "Adventism
101" series especially for new members and a refresher course for old
timers. Currently online: a description of tithing and what happens to
the money.

Contact: www.nadnationalbuy.com to learn how your conference,
institution, or ministry can get 15% off for advertising in at least
five of the union magazines. An even larger discount is available for
repeat ads.
