Evangelism: Great Controversy Style

PARIS, TEX. – Paris Seventh-day Adventist Church members joined the 2024 Texas Conference Great Controversy initiative and handed out more than 400 books to community members during the month of April. The following Sabbath, Joshua Reyna, literature ministries director for the Texas Conference, joined a special service focused on mission work. 

In early 2023, the Paris church purchased 2,000 copies of The Great Controversy in conjunction with the Texas Conference and the Streams of Light Ministries’ initiative to get the books into every household in Texas. Since then, Paris church members have distributed the book around the Paris area as much as possible. 

In late October 2023, the Paris church manned a booth at the Red River Valley Fair, where more books were handed out. As part of a continual evangelism culture to reach more people for the kingdom, members plan to have another booth this fall to share copies of the book and distribute flyers inviting community friends to watch an online 16-part evangelism series hosted by Amazing Facts. 

Mark 16:15 encourages everyone to “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.” We’re doing our part to share it in the Paris community.
