2010 ASI International Convention · Rosen Shingle Creek Resort · Orlando, Florida • August 4-7 General Sessions–4 Seminars–6 Youth Convention–10 Special Projects–21 Schedule-At-A-Glance–31 2010 International Convention President’s Welcome A sincere welcome to all attending the 63rd annual ASI International Convention! We praise the Lord that we can still meet together here in Orlando to share inspiration, to worship and to become more effective in outreach in the final days before our Lord returns. Daily we hear of natural calamities, economic crises and the foibles of human leadership. Without God, Paul wrote, the world is without hope! As Adventist business, professional and ministry leaders, we have so much to share with a needy world. At this convention, we can gain a vision for active evangelism and effective witness at every level. Please visit the many exhibitor booths to learn ways to empower your personal witness and local church outreach. Attend the general sessions to hear relevant and fresh testimonies from Members in Action. Be blessed by devotional speakers. Enjoy the many musical performances, and choose seminars designed to equip you to reach out and serve. The four winds of strife referenced in the Book of Revelation are yet held in check. What will it take to release them? One horrific terrorist event? A cluster of natural disasters? Uncontrolled economic collapse? It is not a matter of whether, but when. May we press together at this convention to gain strength, vision and inspiration to finish strong. 2 | 2010 ASI International Convention Program Guide e e or nc Se 31 f -Gla a ge atpa ledu he Sc 2 4 6 10 12 16 21 29 31 Contents President’s Welcome General Sessions Seminars Youth Convention Programs Exhibitors Convention Floor Plans Special Offering Projects Acknowledgments Schedule-at-a-Glance “With intense interest God and You Need to Know...

Full of facts, quotes and a step-wise logic, it is a persuasive picture of the Book and the Man. You will shift from a timid, unsure stance to one that is humble, yet confident and unashamed of a priceless treasure. Subodh Pandit, MD, born and raised in India, Gaining Decisions for Christ Have you given Bible studies and been disappointed and disheartened by responses to your efforts? Have you expected your Bible study prospects to ask, “Where is the baptistery?” but instead they respond with a casual, “Thanks, but no thanks”?

Those are the questions that will be explored in this seminar. Louis Torres is a pastor, evangelist, international lecturer, musician and author.

His twenty-year search for a reason to believe led him through the questions of atheism, post-modernism and pluralism onto a unique method of comparing the five great world religions. Divine Healing If you have enough faith will you always be healed? Why are some people healed and others not? Is sickness always the result of violation of health laws? What is the role of anointing in healing, and what are the principles if you are called to anoint someone? What is the difference between genuine and counterfeit healing? How can one experience God’s presence if they are not healed and bring glory to His name? This seminar will explore the biblical principles of health and healing in a deeper way.

Finley and his wife, Ernestine “Teenie,” have three grown children. Jesus Psychology Inner Healing According to the Wonderful Counselor “Psychology” and “psychotherapy” simply mean “the study of the soul” and “the healing of the soul.” The Bible has much to say about both. No one knows the heart of man like God does. This seminar provides a user-friendly guide to the principles of Biblical psychology, along with practical help for common problems such as depression, excessive guilt, anxiety, addiction and low self-worth. Jennifer Schwirzer, MHS, NCC, is a practicing mental health counselor, author, speaker and musician residing in Philadelphia, Penn. She loves Jesus and people, in that order.

Primary (ages 7-9) Theme: The Pathway to the Throne of God Location: Suwannee 20 & 21 Leader: Claire Luz Day Assistant: Shari Gonyea Sin created a separation between God and man. We will see through the Mosaic Sanctuary Model how God wants no separation between mankind and Himself. We’ll learn about the expensive plan He made so that we can see Him face-to-face soon. He truly wants us to be “at-one-ment” with Him. We will look in-depth at the protection provided by the Ten Commandments, and how they reflect God’s love and character to us. Juniors (ages 10-12) Theme: Living For Jesus—Body, Mind & Spirit Location: Suwannee 13 & 14 Leader: Tom Kanomata Assistants: Shelley Nicole Kanomata This year, the Junior class will embark on an exciting journey. Along the way, we will focus on three different areas of living for Jesus. First, we will discover the need for giving our bodies to Jesus and learn how our health affects our spiritual life. We’ll learn the eight laws of health and how to care for our bodies in practical ways. Next, we’ll focus on the mind and learn that the things we put into our minds affect our relationship with Jesus. Finally, we’ll focus on the spiritual aspect of our lives as junior-aged youth. We’ll learn how to improve our prayer lives, study our Bibles, and memorize Scripture. We’ll explore practical ideas on how to develop a closer relationship with Jesus. Overall, we’ll learn how to fully commit our whole lives to Jesus: body, mind, and spirit. Earliteen (ages 13-15) Theme: Ever, Only, All Location: Suwannee 15 Leaders: Ron & Kimberly Kyle Assistant: Shaya Kyle The Earliteen class will take a close look at the words, “Ever, Only, All.” More importantly, we’ll look at the One who is more than worthy of the commitment those words describe. Though we are His by creation and redemption, nothing makes Him happier than when we choose to be His—when we abandon ourselves in devotion to Him. And that’s exactly what makes us happiest too! Join us as we ponder and pray, sing and serve, commit and consecrate. We’ll talk about the inexhaustible supplies of heaven. God’s grace, Christ’s power, and the Spirit’s highest energies are ours. Even in our human weakness, we are enabled to do deeds of Omnipotence. We’ll learn to ever be in God’s presence, doing only His will, all the time! Youth (ages 16-19) Theme: Right Faith, Right Now Location: Suwannee 16 Leader: Joshua Plohocky Assistants: Michael Kruse & Levi Longoria “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12). Though much emphasis has been given to keeping the commandments of God, “the faith of Jesus” has often been overlooked or treated in an indifferent, careless manner and has not occupied the prominent position in which it was revealed to John. What is “faith of Jesus,” and why does it occupy such a central role in Gods last-day, commandment-keeping movement? Join us as we gain a deeper understanding of these things so that we may have the “Right Faith, Right Now.” Warning: Possible side effects may include an increase in your faith, a more fervent prayer life, a better understanding of God’s will, and in some cases death (of the old man) may occur. www.asiministries.org | 11 2010 International Convention Exhibitors 3AngelsTube Inc Adventist Heritage Ministry Amazing Discoveries Booth 623 Delroy Brown 3AngelsTube Inc PO Box 970406 Pompano Beach, Florida 33097 Booth 633 Booths 309, 408 Wendy Goubej 7322 Valley View Road Ferndale, Washington 98248 ADRA International Booths 831, 833, 835 Julio Muñoz 12501 Old Columbia Pike Silver Spring, Maryland 20904 Advent Interfaith Initiative Booth 1021 Rodney MacCallum 26115 King Rd.

The Words of Suleyman On another occasion, Isa was encountered by a man who was possessed by jinn. Through the power of Allah, He commanded the jinn to leave the man, and they were cast into a herd of pigs.
