Dear Wisconsin Conference Members and Guests,
We express our sincere gratitude for the protection and blessings afforded to our ministry within the Conference. We witnessed God’s providence for our churches and schools: Wisconsin Academy, Camp Wakonda, and the Conference Office. As we reflect on 2024, we are encouraged to join the Apostle Paul in his message to the church of Colosse:
“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.”
(Col. 1:3-6 NKJV).
We are pleased to announce that we have concluded the year on a positive note, having successfully filled all pastoral and teaching positions with dedicated and skilled professionals. Additionally, our office staff is fully prepared and collectively ready to serve in the upcoming year.
This year, we have committed to supporting Pentecost 2025, an initiative of the North American Division. We will prioritize genuine revival as we engage with our communities, recognizing that no progress can be made without a spiritual renewal experience guided by the Holy Spirit. Among our members, it is evident that there is a necessity for a renewed spirit of repentance, along with a deep commitment to abide by God’s will.
I recommend a personal study of the book Steps to Christ. Its thirteen chapters provide valuable insights into the essential stages of spiritual growth, from the rediscovery of God’s role in our lives to the fulfillment that accompanies the joy of salvation. It is vital that we periodically assess our spiritual well-being and employ God’s remedies for more robust spiritual health.
We firmly believe that we are living in the final days, and we must seize every opportunity to prepare ourselves and others for Jesus Christ’s triumphant return. Let us dedicate ourselves to a concentrated focus on Wisconsin in 2025 and anticipate the remarkable miracles that God intends to perform for His Kingdom.
Thank you for your renewed commitment to utilizing your spiritual gifts and resources for His glory. We extend our best wishes for a blessed 2025 to you and your families.
Titus Naftanaila
President
