Feel free to share this information.

1. ADRA processes 376,000 lbs of food every day someplace in our
world.

2. A person in Russia took the Sow 1 Billion brochure, wrinkled it
into a wad, and left it in a seat on the train. Another person coming
later found the paper, straightened it out, and took it home and ironed
it to make it smooth, and ran it through a copier. She gave copies to
all the people in her office, and began studies herself. She has now
been baptized.

3. A person in South America apparently didn't like the Sow 1 Billion
brochure, and tore it in half and threw it away. Another person found
just half of the card and looked at it for a while, wondering what the
other half said. He found an address on the half in his hand, and got
in touch with the Adventist people, and has since been baptized.

4. The father of Bryce Pasco passed away. He was living in Australia.
Elder Pasco Sr. was 92 year old. Before retiring he was one of the
Associate Treasurers of the General Conference.

5. Dick Stenbakken, who has been in charge of Adventist Chaplaincy
Ministries, has announced his retirement as of July 1. Elder Marty
Feldbush, Associate Director of the department, has been elected to
become the Director of ACM. At this time no one has been selected to
take the position vacated by Elder Feldbush.
