On January 11, 2026, ADRA-UK joined Seventh-day Adventist pastors, elders, and church members at the South England Conference (SEC) Evangelism Expo 2026, a flagship gathering designed to equip local churches for mission in a modern, multicultural world.

With more than 29,000 members worshipping across over 200 churches, the South England Conference is characterized by significant ethnic and cultural diversity. Conference leaders say this diversity is a strength and that it brings a responsibility to serve communities with compassion, justice, and love in practical and visible ways.

Throughout the day, ADRA-UK engaged attendees at its exhibition stand, sharing how humanitarian action and gospel mission go hand in hand. ADRA seeks to translate God’s love into action, from crisis response to community development, supporting the vulnerable, restoring dignity, and empowering churches to serve their communities more effectively.

The Evangelism Expo also provided an opportunity to highlight the role of local ADRA Ambassadors, church members who act as the link between their local congregations and national ADRA-UK initiatives. These ambassadors are equipped with a welcome pack, mission training resources, and a supportive network to mobilise church involvement and strengthen community impact.

As churches seek to serve diverse communities across the South England Conference, ADRA-UK leaders are committed to supporting and inspiring them to live out compassion, love, and justice in their daily witness.
