God’s young Warriors
In an inspiring display of youthful faith and leadership, middle and high school students at Adventist Christian Academy (ACA) Raleigh recently preached a full evangelistic series, drawing guests from across the community, opening doors for Bible studies, and leading classmates and even adults to decisions for baptism.

How Revelation Sparked a Journey to Ministry
For Dylan and Jaycee, the book of Revelation once felt overwhelming, filled with beasts, symbols, and end-time prophecies they didn’t understand.
