In October 2024, the Bangladesh Union Mission organized a range of seminars and programs across Bangladesh. These events, aimed at promoting spiritual growth, provided valuable insights and encouragement to families, women, and youth as they navigated their faith journeys.

The first of these events took place on October 10-11 at the Kellogg Mookerjee Memorial Seminary, where a couples seminar brought together 35 couples under the leadership of Mahuya Roy and Monju Falia. With the theme “Adventist Family in God’s Purpose,” the seminar helped couples deepen their relationships and explore how to strengthen their families through faith. The participants engaged in various activities such as worship, workshops, and discussions reinforcing the importance of aligning their family lives with God’s will.

Following closely, on October 11-12, the North Bangladesh Mission hosted a Women and Family Evangelism Seminar at the Kalachandpur Adventist Church. This event focused on empowering women and families to actively share the gospel, encouraging participants to grow spiritually and strengthen their community outreach.

On October 17, in Chittagong City, around 25 women gathered for the Women’s Ministries Program, titled “I Will Flourish with Real Glow.” The event highlighted 10 essential principles for spiritually and physically thriving, covering topics like spending time with God, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and setting personal goals. The program left attendees feeling uplifted and motivated to apply these principles daily.

October 18 saw the continuation of the Couples Seminar in Chittagong City, this time with the participation of another 25 couples. Under the guidance of Timothy Roy, Executive Secretary of the Bangladesh Union Mission, the seminar once again focused on building a strong, faith-based family life. Couples reflected on the importance of a God-centered household and their unique challenges in today’s world. Also, a seminar for teenagers was held at the Bangladesh Union Mission headquarters that day. It offered young people spiritual guidance on navigating the challenges of adolescence with faith and provided practical advice on remaining grounded in their beliefs while pursuing personal growth.

Throughout October, the Bangladesh Union Mission worked tirelessly to create opportunities for spiritual development among church members, with a special focus on strengthening families, empowering women, and guiding youth. These events helped participants grow closer to God and equipped them to live out their faith more fully in their everyday lives. The mission looks forward to continuing these efforts, bringing hope and transformation to more individuals.
