Letter from Our Pastor

Dear Friends,

From a humble beginning with a few members, our church has now grown to over 600 with our ministry touching nearly 3,000 lives. We are dedicated to reach out to the thousands of Southern Asian immigrants who now call me country their home. They have brought with them their beliefs in Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, and other Eastern religions and have built their own places of worship. It is time now, more than ever, for us to tell them of the love of Jesus.

The rented facility that we worship in now has become too overcrowded for us to fulfill our mission to evangelize non-Christian Southern Asians in our community. Every Sabbath our parking lot is filled to capacity, our sanctuary is bursting at the seams, and we are in desperate need of a new facility.

To meet me great challenge, our church members have sacrificially given nearly $3 million which has been used to purchase and develop a wonderful property near the Seventh-day Adventist World Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Our urgent need is to build a church and evangelistic center to enable us to reach out to the Southern Asians in our community. It will cost an additional $5 million to finish me church building.

Please join us in me great venture for the Lord. It does not matter how small your gift. Our God, who multiplied five loaves and two fishes to feed 5,000, will surely bless and multiply your gift to meet our need of $5 million.

Thank you in advance for your support. May the joy of the Lord be your strength.

Yours in the Blessed Hope,

Franklin G. David
Senior Pastor
Southern Asian Seventh-day Adventist Church
