“I’ve always loved a good challenge,” said Gina Brown, describing her recent trip, where she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

During her worship thought at today’s Columbia Union Conference Executive Committee meeting, Brown, a committee member from the Allegheny East Conference, reminded members of the importance Seventh-day Adventist churches and schools have in sharing and training members to share the gospel prior to the second coming of Christ.
