More than 40,000 people participated in a satellite evangelistic program broadcast from Bolivia last month. “Hope is Jesus” was the theme of the seven-day series, which was seen live in cities across South and Inter-America, and in parts of North America.
Some 2,000 people were baptized on the first day of the series: they had been studying with Seventh-day Adventist pastors or laypeople in the months leading up to the satellite program. In all, 10,000 people have been baptized as a result of the series. Organizers of the event say the response in Bolivia has been “unprecedented.”
The program was produced by ADSAT, an Adventist media organization in South America, and was uplinked to satellite by Adventist Television Network, the church’s international satellite network.
Bolivia is home to a growing community of more than 110,000 Adventist Church members.
