The first official evening worship of the 62nd General Conference (GC) Session began on July 4, 2025, with a focus on Total Member Involvement by Mark Finley, assistant to the GC president.

“You may not be able to change the world, but you can make a difference for God in your world,” Finley said.

Total Member Involvement, or TMI, is a Seventh-day Adventist initiative that calls upon every member to participate in disciple-making and evangelism.

Finley utilized various names found through the Bible, including Phillip, Peter, Mary, and the Samaritan woman, to reinforce to delegates that anyone can be used by God.

“God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things,” Finley said.

He finished by urging delegates, attendees, and remote listeners to go out into the world for Jesus.

Following Finley’s devotion, a short presentation on Total Member Involvement was shared.

Evening worship will take place each night of during GC Session at 7 p.m. CST. Beginning Saturday (Sabbath), July 5, evening worship will be hosted by Hope Channel International and will feature Stories of Hope, firsthand accounts of lives changed by the gospel.
