| "THE APPEARING" DVDS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AT THE SPECIAL
PRE-SERIES PRICE of US$14.95 for only a short time longer. If churches
missed putting them on live in September, they can still offer the
recorded meetings before the NET 2006, "Revelation Speaks Peace,"
March 10 - April 4. They also would make excellent Christmas gifts, but
must be ordered as soon as possible.

The 2-DVDs include all five of Boonstra's presentations from the
satellite broadcast, the follow-up Bible study, as presented by Dan
Houghton by satellite, the Bible study slides after Pastor Boonstra's
presentation, and a Spanish audio track for all five of Boonstra's
presentations. A bonus sixth program, "The Unknown Hour," comes with
the set. It deals with misunderstood texts about the Second Coming, and
answers questions about today's popular theories regarding the return of
Jesus. The DVDs offer a higher quality audio and video recording than
available via the satellite feed.

Contact: www.theappearing.com/host for more info. The last of
the pre-ordered DVDs were shipped last week and should be received
soon.

| AN AVIAN FLU COMMUNIQUE FROM THE GENERAL CONFERENCE is posted at
www.health20-20.org. It includes important information of special
interest for people who travel, but also for everyone else who could
eventually be exposed to this potentially dangerous flu. Be sure to
promote this information and any future updates to leaders and members
planning mission trips.

| NAD CHRISTMAS SHOW, "ALL IS BRIGHT" - Taping has been completed
at the Adventist Media Center. More stations have picked up the program
than ever before, including two NBC affiliates and one FOX affiliate, as
well as a station in Los Angeles. According to Linda Walter and Chauncey
Smith of the Adventist Media Agency, "stations managers have been
calling us to let us know that people have been requesting the show!"
Your calls are helping to get "All is Bright" on the network affiliates.
Keep up the good work! If you haven't called yet, please do so. Stations
can continue to sign up.

Featured actors in the special are Patty Cabrera, Scott Reed and
Courtney Crook - all Adventist church members. Patty is a Latin Grammy
nominee and well-known contemporary Christian singer. Scott is a member
of Faith First and the Heritage Singers. Courtney is a student at
Newbury Park Academy in California. The Christian Edition Men's Chorus
is also featured on the program.
