In his charge to the congregation, Dr. Peter Kerr, president of Atlantic Caribbean Union (ATCU), which comprises the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, encouraged members and leaders to continue to fulfil the mission of the church, which is, to lead men and women into a saving relationship with Christ our only source of salvation. He said, ‘we are close to victory, do not drop the ball; run to the finish line’.
Pastor Al, Powell, youth director of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Inter-America, led out in the ‘Act of Consecration’ for leaders, departmental directors and committee members. Dr. Cheryl Rolle, executive secretary of ATCU, led the signing of the leadership pledge with newly elected officers of the conference, President Reinaldo Dracket, Executive Secretary Pastor Andrew Campbell and Chief Financial Officer Elder John E.

In the president’s response, Pastor Dracket invited the members of the conference to continue building on the legacy established by the pioneers over these past 125 years. He also expressed his desire that the prayer of Jesus, ‘that we be one as He and His Father are one’, become a reality among the members of the church. He encouraged the millennials to reach their fellow millennials with the message of hope in a hopeless generation. In conclusion, he expressed, ‘May those who come behind us find us faithful’.
