The Troy, Tuskegee, and Union Springs (TTU) church district in Alabama has reported remarkable success from its 2024 evangelistic efforts.
Under the leadership of Nathan Cook, pastor, the district conducted three separate evangelistic series throughout the year, which significantly increased church membership and community engagement.
“We’ve witnessed an incredible harvest of souls this year,” said Cook. “These evangelistic meetings have infused our communities with hope and spiritual renewal.”
The first meeting began in April with “The Prison Break Revival” at First Tuskegee Church. Led by Jeffery Watson, South Central Conference’s pastor and associate director for church ministries and mission development resources, the nine-night event concluded with six baptisms and one profession of faith.
In May, First Union Springs Church hosted “Earth Under Pressure,” a 12-night series featuring Stan Hood, pastor from the Allegheny West Conference. This event resulted in five baptisms and two professions of faith.
The final series, “The Coming Crisis,” occurred in October at the Mt. Pisgah Worship Center Church in Troy. Despite being the smallest church in the district, it saw remarkable growth. A total of 23 individuals were baptized, effectively tripling the church’s active membership.
One of the newly baptized members shared, “When the Bible worker knocked on our door to invite us to the meetings, it felt like an answer to our prayers. My daughter and I had been studying about the Sabbath on our own, and this series confirmed what we had been learning.”
The success of these meetings has energized the district. Bible workers continue to maintain contact with attendees who are considering baptism, and the churches are actively ministering to new and prospective members.
Looking ahead, Cook expressed enthusiasm for future evangelistic efforts. “We’re already planning for Pentecost 2025,” he said. “We’re excited about the opportunities to make more disciples, baptize them, and teach them to obey everything Jesus has commanded.”
The TTU district’s success story serves as an inspiring example of effective community outreach and evangelism in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
