In approving a US$151.3-million budget for 2010, Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders are continuing a worldwide emphasis on mission. This year the church will spend about $124 million on appropriations for world outreach and supporting missionaries.

A team of Seventh-day Adventist Church relief workers is on its way to the Dominican Republic border and is expected to cross into Haiti later today.

The team, consisting of Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) workers, medical personnel from partner organization Global Medic and Inter-American church leaders, will deliver supplies, pass out water purification tablets and set up emergency care clinics.

The ABJ is now available at pharmacies throughout Kingston, St. Catherine, St, Elizabeth, Mandeville and Montego Bay. Find a list of retailers here.
