Revelation Seminar in Crossville, TN

Pastor Mario Reategui delivers a message of hope to the Crossville, TN community through the nightly “Unlocking Revelation” seminar. He believes that the Book of Revelation offers hope-filled answers to life’s most profound questions and prepares people for the soon return of Jesus. Attendees are invited to sit at round tables where group leaders assist them in finding answers to their questions and provide additional materials. Each evening, guests enjoy a light dinner and popcorn, creating a welcoming ‘home-like’ atmosphere. A brief video health talk precedes the main study presentation.

Pastor Mario’s studies consistently attract participants from the local community. I was invited to sit at one of the round tables where Chris led the discussion following the main presentation. One participant shared fascinating stories from his life, including his work at the American Embassy in Moscow, Russia, during the early 90s. Below is a photo of the two of us together. 

Additionally, Pastor Mario's son assists at the AV booth during the seminar.

We will keep your seminar and its participants in our prayers, Mario.

The Power of Faith and Persistence: A Journey to Baptism

Sometimes, life's journeys take unexpected turns. Twenty years ago, I started Bible studies with a remarkable lady. We delved into the depths of our faith, but at that time, she hesitated to take the final step of baptism. Life whisked me away, and I lost touch with her. Yet, God had a plan that would bring our paths back together. Fast forward to a year ago, I found myself moving back to the same area where we first studied. Little did I know, the hand of God was at work. As I settled back into this familiar community, I crossed paths with my old friend. It was a divine reunion that reignited our spiritual connection. I felt compelled to ask her if she would be interested in studying again, and to my joy, she agreed. Armed with the support of a fellow church member, we embarked on a renewed journey of faith together. We explored Scripture, shared stories, and prayed. It was a beautiful experience filled with laughter, questions, and spiritual growth. Throughout our studies, I was ...

A Life Changing mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

  Four young adults, ages 13 to 31, from the South Bay Adventist Church recently returned from a life-changing mission trip to the Dominican Republic, accompanied by Pastor Jeremy Arnall and his wife, Tina. Partnering with the ShareHim ministry, the group participated in an evangelistic campaign that reached six local churches, delivering ten powerful presentations at each location. Their days were filled with sermon preparation, study, and preaching. As a result of their efforts, local pastors report 20 baptisms so far. The video report in this blog post is a powerful testimony to their life-changing mission.

A Journey Through Pain and Hope

Teresa’s story begins in Mexico, where she faced the painful experience of divorce. Hoping for a better future for her children, she came to the United States a few years ago, determined to work and support their education. But instead of stability, Teresa’s life took another difficult turn. After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, she began to experience severe health complications. Her body reacted negatively—she lost weight rapidly, her nervous system was affected, and her physical strength declined. The most alarming moment came when doctors discovered that several of her fingers and toes were showing signs of  necrosis , a condition that causes tissue death. As her condition worsened, Teresa felt increasingly isolated. Though she was part of a Christian congregation in Savannah, the support she desperately needed never came. Hospitalized and in pain, she prayed through tears: “Lord God, do not take me by pieces.” It was during this dark season that  two sisters from the Adve...
