			14,000+ Literature Bags Distributed at National Gathering in Washington, D.C.			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A team from Amazing Facts International distributed more than 14,000 truth-filled “Freedom 250” literature bags during the Rededicate 250 prayer event held in Washington, D.C. on May 17, 2026. People came from near and far to celebrate 250 years of American religious history and pray for the nation. They left carrying Bible-based resources designed to point them to Christ and present truth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each Freedom 250 bag contained an <em>America in Prophecy </em>magazine, <em>The Fall and Rise of Jerusalem </em>(a reprint of the classic <em>Great Controversy</em>), an <em>America &amp; the Ten Commandments </em>booklet, and a Religious Freedom 250 card directing recipients to Amazing Facts’ online documentaries. Attendees eagerly accepted the materials, and many returned asking for additional bags to share with family and friends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It was an amazing mission trip,” said Danielle Overton, a donor relations representative who helped coordinate the outreach. “While we faced many obstacles that had to be overcome, obstacles are to be expected when doing God&#8217;s work. It was inspiring to see Him work in mighty ways by sending the right people at the right time for the right tasks.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Many people we met are hungering and thirsting for something more than what this world can offer,” she added. “We were able to reach not only those attending the Rededicate America event, but also a much wider range of people who, from what I could see, were sincerely desiring positive change in our world.”</p>



<h4 id="h-reaching-sincere-christians" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Reaching Sincere Christians</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The outreach was born when Pastor Doug Batchelor, president, heard about the Rededicate 250 prayer event. With thousands of Christians expected to attend, he saw an opportunity to place truth-filled literature in the hands of people already seeking a relationship with God.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We didn’t go to make a political statement,” said Amanda Bauer, a media editor who also helped organize the outreach. “We just knew there would be many sincere Christians there hungering for the truth.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>God’s church has a sacred calling in these last days—to share truth with the world.</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In preparation, Amazing Facts printed 25,000 Freedom 250 bags and drove 23 pallets of literature across the country. A team of 18 Amazing Facts employees and volunteers, along with members of the Granite Bay Hilltop Literature Evangelism Ministry, traveled to Washington, where they were joined by local church members and supporters from other ministries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, they prayerfully assembled the bags. They also gathered on Sabbath, the day before Rededicate 250, for a special season of prayer and consecration near the White House.</p>



<h4 id="h-god-s-interventions" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>God’s Interventions</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even before the Rededicate 250 outreach began, the team saw unexpected answers to prayer. Two 12-passenger rental vans were upgraded free of charge to 15-passenger vans, providing additional space for workers and supplies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another remarkable answer provided the team with a third location for distributing the bags. The team originally applied for only two booths at the event. But then an extra tablecloth came from the supplier. Amanda wondered whether God might want them to have a third booth, but she decided to pray about it. Two days later, the permit office called.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Do you want three booths? We have three permits for you.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The additional location allowed the team to reach many more people at the National Mall than originally planned. Amazing Facts booths were located at 7th &amp; Madison, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial.</p>



<h4 id="h-a-full-day-of-ministry" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Full Day of Ministry</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Sunday, May 17, the team rose at 2:00 AM to set up for the day of ministry. After a time of prayer, they headed to the National Mall, where they quickly saw God’s providence at work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“God gave us favor with everyone,” Amanda said. “We parked right in front of the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. We were able to unload all our materials and deliver right to the location of our booths.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Soon, thousands of people were streaming into the area. The Amazing Facts team worked quickly to provide a bag to each event attendee. They also gave literature bags to foreign tourists, military personnel, police officers, and families visiting Washington.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the same time as the prayer gathering, George Washington University was holding commencement activities near the Washington Monument. Many graduates and family members received literature bags as they passed through the area.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people assumed the Amazing Facts team was officially connected with the Rededicate 250 event because of their shirts and bags. Rather than creating confusion, it opened doors for more ministry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“People would come and ask us for another bag for their friend,” Amanda remembered.</p>



<h4 id="h-divine-appointments" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Divine Appointments</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the day, team members passed out bags, answered questions, and prayed with attendees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The Lord graciously opened unexpected doors before us,” said Amanda. “We were privileged to meet the CEO of the Freedom 250 event and place a bag directly into his hands. Testimonies have already begun to return—of individuals deeply impacted and divine appointments arranged by heaven.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Danielle agreed. “One of the most meaningful aspects was seeing the seeds being planted, especially among young people who are searching for something more than this world can offer. While we may not immediately see the full results, there were many sincere conversations and clear signs that hearts were being touched. We trust that God used these interactions to spark interest, bring encouragement, and open doors for future spiritual growth.</p>



<h4 id="h-a-lasting-impact" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Lasting Impact</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite long hours, little sleep, sunburn, and physical exhaustion, the team was reminded of our unique calling in the last days and encouraged by what God accomplished.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“As we walked among the multitudes upon the National Mall, we sensed anew the sacred calling entrusted to God’s last-day church—to lift up Christ before the world and prepare a people to stand in the day of the Lord,” said Amanda. “Seeds of truth were sown by the thousands, and we believe many souls will be gathered into the kingdom through this effort.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By day’s end, more than 14,000 literature bags had been distributed. (Plans are in the works to distribute the remaining bags during the July 4th celebrations at the Capitol.) The bags even appeared in coverage by major news outlets, including NBC and Fox News, extending the outreach&#8217;s visibility far beyond those who attended in person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most importantly, thousands of people returned home carrying literature that will continue pointing them to Christ for years to come.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Will you join us in praying that God waters the seeds that were planted and reveals last-day truth to many people through the literature they received?</p>

			210 Volunteers Serve in Belize on Amazing Facts Mission Trip			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Something amazing happens when 210 volunteers descend on a small country for a mission trip.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It is transformational for the whole country,” says Pastor Jëan Ross, vice president of evangelism at Amazing Facts International. “When 210 show up just to bless people, it gets everyone—from the common people to government officials—talking about it.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s what happened in Belize during Amazing Facts’ recent mission trip.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 id="h-a-country-in-need" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Country in Need</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Belize is a tropical paradise, yet over half of its 400,000 inhabitants subsist below the poverty line, especially in rural areas. Even in Belize City, poverty is common. That’s why Amazing Facts and Granite Bay Hilltop Church organized a mission trip to the city from April 12–19, 2026. The team consisted of 210 local and online church members, as well as Amazing Facts partners and employees. Some came from as far away as Switzerland and Italy. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote" id="h-when-210-people-show-up-just-to-bless-others-it-can-transform-a-whole-country"><blockquote><p>When 210 people show up just to bless others, it can transform a whole country.</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The team provided free medical and dental services, built and painted churches and schools, hosted two vacation Bible schools, and trained local church leaders. The week ended with a Brotherhood Sabbath, the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers ever in the small country.</p>



<h4 id="h-medical-amp-dental-clinic-serves-many" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Medical &amp; Dental Clinic Serves Many</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The medical and dental team provided free services to 1,374 patients over four days at the Belize Civic Center, which was made available free of charge by the local government. The Belize Adventist Mission was also heavily involved and facilitated the necessary permits. Medications were supplied in partnership with Loma Luz Adventist Hospital, helping reduce costs and expand care.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Patients came as early as 2:00 AM to wait for the free services, which included dentistry, eye care, pharmacy services, women’s health, emergency medicine, and a prayer station. Many expressed their deep gratitude for the help they received.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For many volunteers, their ministry went far beyond physical care. One man came for dental work; he had a hole in his tooth that he wanted fixed. But the ache in his heart was what really bothered him. His 42-year-old son had died not long ago from issues with alcohol. The dental team fixed his tooth, but they also took time to listen to his sorrow and pray with him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The local television station even did a broadcast about the program.</p>



<h4 id="h-construction-team-builds-paints" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Construction Team Builds, Paints</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another group of nearly 60 volunteers did construction and remodeling work. In just three days, they raised the walls of a church whose congregation had spent ten years raising money just to lay a foundation. Granite Bay Hilltop Church has also committed to providing the remaining funds needed so local members can complete the church structure by the end of the year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The team also painted and repaired two schools and a church. One of the schools had been condemned but can now continue to provide children with a biblical education.</p>



<h4 id="h-vacation-bible-schools-minister-to-children" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Vacation Bible Schools Minister to Children</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Language barriers can make hosting a vacation Bible school on a mission trip challenging. But English is Belize’s primary language, so running a VBS was much easier this time. The Amazing Facts’ team hosted programs at two Sabbath-keeping schools—one for a group of about 250 students, and another for 25 kids. About 80 percent of the students were not Sabbath-keepers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We had the cutest group of people to minister to,” says Kate Moreland, VBS coordinator. “The kids loved it. They were all in! And it helped them realize they were part of a global church family.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It was amazing to see how the simple things we did made such a huge impact on the kids,” added Joshua Droze, who served on the VBS team with his wife Inna.</p>



<h4 id="h-church-leadership-training" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Church Leadership Training</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sabbath-keepers in Belize often feel alone. About 10 percent of the population claim to be Sabbath-keepers, but only about a quarter of those are regular church attenders. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, a growing number of Belizeans are hearing the three angels’ messages through a radio station hosted by a local Sabbath-keeping family. The station broadcasts Amazing Facts programs and other truth-filled sermons through Belize, Guatemala, and southern Mexico. Many are responding to the messages and walking into Sabbath-keeping churches ready to become members.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To help the local church, Amazing Facts’ evangelism team spent two days teaching church leaders, pastors, and elders how to lead and do evangelism more effectively.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It was basic stuff that we were teaching,” says Pastor Doug Batchelor, president, “but it was new to them and very helpful. They didn’t realize there were answers to many of the problems they were facing. It was very encouraging to them to know they are not alone.”</p>



<h4 id="h-brotherhood-sabbath-draws-thousands" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Brotherhood Sabbath Draws Thousands</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the end of a busy week of ministry, the Amazing Facts mission trip team joined local Sabbath-keepers at the Belize Civic Center for a “Brotherhood Sabbath.” The program included Sabbath school with the Amazing Facts team, sermons by Pastor Doug, and music.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The arena was full,” says Pastor Doug. “There were over 4,000 people there. It was the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers ever in Belize.”</p>

			Growing in Christ: Amazing Facts’ New Discipleship Lessons			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amazing Facts International is pleased to announce that its newest study guide series, “Growing in Christ,” is now available through the Bible School and bookstore. These twelve new lessons reveal how to become a sanctified citizen of God’s kingdom and how Christians can build their character through a personal connection with Christ.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many Christians struggle with unhealthy relationships, addictions, old habits, and poor choices. But the Bible makes it clear that none need be a slave to sin. Through Christ, each believer can be an overcomer and display a Christ-like character in these last days.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The “Growing in Christ” series is a natural extension of the 27 <em>Amazing Facts Study Guides</em>. Instead of focusing on prophecy and doctrine, “Growing in Christ” presents the Bible’s principles for godly living in clear, simple language. Each lesson will help students become disciples of Christ who reveal His character in their work, entertainment, witnessing, relationships, and every other aspect of life.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>It’s time to become a citizen of God’s kingdom!</p></blockquote></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-an-important-addition"><strong>An Important Addition</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First published in 1966 as “Information Folders,” the <em>Amazing Facts Study Guides</em> have stood the test of time. Hundreds of thousands of Bible students have become members of the remnant church through studying the lessons.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Known for making the truth simple, the <em>Study Guides </em>focus on the Bible’s major teachings and prophecies, but they do not delve deeply into the practical side of living and growing as a new Christian. Tammey Steenson, a former Bible School director, also recognized that over a quarter of the Bible School’s students are incarcerated and need specific biblical guidance on what it means to live as a Christian.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That realization led to the development of the “Growing in Christ” series. Created with much prayer, the new lessons show students how to develop and maintain a personal relationship with Jesus so that they can become mature, balanced Christians.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each lesson begins with a true story of an individual whose life was transformed through meeting Jesus and learning to follow Him in the details of life. They then delve into what the Bible teaches on everyday topics, such as sharing your faith and overcoming addiction. Intensely practical, the lessons help students learn how to walk with God at work, at home, at church, and at play.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new lessons cover the following topics:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li class="wp-block-list-item">The King and the Kingdom: The operating principles of God’s kingdom vs. Satan’s kingdom</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Growing in Grace: How to have victory over sin in daily life</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">In the Lord’s Army: Putting on the Lord’s armor and living as a Christian soldier</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Prayer: Communion with God made simple</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Renewing Your Mind: Cooperating with God for transformed thoughts and emotions</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Addictions and You: God’s principles for freedom from addiction in all forms</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Godly Relationships: How to love and care for the people who matter most</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Principles for Work: Practical principles for thriving in any work situation</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">The Privilege of Stewardship: Being a steward of God’s resources includes far more than tithing</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">The Family of God: Discover the blessing of the church family for spiritual growth</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">Go Light Your World: How to share your faith in a winsome way</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">The Holy Spirit: The third person of the Godhead and His role in your transformation</li>
</ol>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-who-should-do-these-lessons"><strong>Who Should Do These Lessons?</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cathy Bauer,&nbsp; Bible School director, says, “The new lessons are for anyone who wants to grow in their walk with God. They will help you fall in love with Jesus—and when you do, the Bible prophecies come to life. It’s only in a personal relationship with Christ that we see the true value of the Bible’s doctrines.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The studies are ideal for personal study or group lessons. They are especially appropriate for new believers who are just learning what it means to be a Christian—but also for longtime Christians who are longing for a deeper walk with God</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="wp-block-list-item">The “Growing in Christ” lessons can be completed through the Bible School either before or after completion of the 27 <em>Study Guides</em>.</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">They are also available for purchase through the Amazing Facts bookstore at <a href="https://www.afbookstore.com/products/pre-order-growing-in-christ-principles-of-gods-kingdom-study-guide-set-by-amazing-facts-copy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.afbookstore.com</a> or by calling 800-538–7275.</li>

			Kenya Trip Becomes Providential Ministry Opportunity			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pastor Doug Batchelor, president of Amazing Facts International, was scheduled to spend a week preaching in the Middle East this spring. But when war broke out and his airline tickets were canceled, God opened a door for evangelism in Kenya.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What had originally been planned as a brief stop became a full week of ministry. Pastor Doug preached the <em>Streams of Light: Revived for Mission</em> series in Nairobi, Kenya, March 25–28, 2026, in partnership with the East Nairobi church, with up to 1,300 in attendance. He also spoke for the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism (AFCOE) Africa, helping to relaunch the program in Kenya. Several unexpected opportunities for evangelism also arose with local pastors, Muslim leaders, and university students.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>“The unexpected appointments were especially exciting. The Lord blessed.”</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I’m always excited for evangelistic opportunities,” says Pastor Doug, “but the unexpected appointments, the ones we had no idea were going to happen, were especially exciting on this trip. The Lord blessed.”</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-afcoe-africa-relaunched"><strong>AFCOE Africa Relaunched</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The opportunity to spend a full week in Kenya became a major encouragement at just the right time for AFCOE Africa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AFCOE Africa first launched in Kenya about 10 years ago. Political unrest later forced the program to move to Uganda in 2018. In January 2026, however, God opened doors for AFCOE Africa to return to Kenya. A new group of students had recently begun canvassing in Nairobi to earn their school fees and prepare for evangelistic training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The AFCOE Africa program is really strong,” reports Pastor Doug. “The students learn evangelism. They go door to door, learn to preach, and do evangelistic meetings. And God blesses their work with many conversions and baptisms.”</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-revival-series-inspires-attendees"><strong>Revival Series Inspires Attendees</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than 400 people attended the nightly <em>Streams of Light </em>revivalmeetings for worship, spiritual encouragement, and evangelistic preaching. The series was also broadcast internationally through Hope Channel Kenya and AWR Nairobi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Sabbath gathering was a highlight. Held at the East African Aviation School grounds across from the airport, the event drew more than 1,300 Sabbath-keepers from across Nairobi. Organizers had expected heavy rain and set up a large tent in the parking area, but the weather remained clear.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It was an inspiring day,” reports Pastor Doug. “The choirs were amazing. People love Amazing Facts in Africa.”</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-full-week-of-ministry-surprises"><strong>A Full Week of Ministry Surprises</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pastor Doug’s schedule in Kenya was much fuller than he initially expected. He spoke at morning worship with the AFCOE students, gave an interview to Hope Channel Kenya, spoke to theology students at the university, and even enjoyed a short safari at Nairobi National Park.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An unusual opportunity to share came when Pastor Doug was asked to speak to a group on Christian-Muslim relations. Local pastors and Muslim attendees appreciated his insights drawn from the stories of Esther and Daniel.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-rare-appointment-with-young-people"><strong>A Rare Appointment With Young People</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most meaningful moments of the trip came near the end of the visit, when Pastor Doug was asked to speak with young people at the University of Nairobi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I thought I was just going to be sharing my testimony,” recalls Pastor Doug, “but it turned into a four-hour conversation with the young people.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pastor Doug met first with a small group of young Sabbath-keepers leading ministry on various university campuses. Their enthusiasm for sharing their faith was contagious. Then the meeting moved to a large auditorium. Students began to arrive, and before long, more than 500 were in attendance. They listened attentively as Pastor Doug shared his testimony of becoming a Sabbath-keeper. Several choirs shared music before the students began asking questions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The young people raised thoughtful questions about issues that weigh heavily on college students’ hearts, including jewelry, dating, marriage, and abstinence. Pastor Doug answered with his characteristic humor and candid, biblical counsel. The extended meeting became one of the clearest examples of how God was opening doors through the week’s changing circumstances.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-god-s-leading-in-the-unexpected"><strong>God’s Leading in the Unexpected</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">God turned the Kenya trip into far more than a contingency plan. The week of providential openings—among pastors, AFCOE students, church members, and young people searching for biblical answers—proved once again that this is God’s work and that He never wastes an opportunity to reach people with the gospel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pastor Doug summed up the experience with a simple ministry principle: “In boxing, they say you have to get in and do what you can when you can. We try to do that in our ministry.”</p>

			His Story Bible Archaeology Summit Strengthens Faith			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than 1,600 people gathered in person—and thousands more joined via AFTV, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram—for <em>His Story: A Bible Archaeology Summit</em>, on April 3 and 4, 2026. Hosted by Pastor Doug Batchelor, president of Amazing Facts International, the event featured biblical archaeologists Dr. Michael Hasel and Dr. Constance Gane, who presented compelling evidence that Scripture is rooted in real history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The Bible isn’t a collection of clever myths—it’s the true record of God acting in human history,” says Pastor Doug. “The science of archaeology is one of the most compelling ways the Lord confirms His Word today. Every dig confirms the Bible.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Archaeology Affirms the Bible</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dr. Michael Hasel, professor of Near Eastern Studies and Archaeology at Southern Adventist University and director of the Institute of Archaeology, highlighted the historical reliability of Scripture. “The Bible is unique because it is anchored in actual history and shows God working in time and space,” he stated. “The Bible is full of real people and real places. That’s why we can have biblical archaeology.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dr. Constance Gane, associate research professor of Biblical Archaeology at Andrews University, emphasized the faith-building power of archaeology. “It’s like a third dimension to the Bible. Archaeology adds a depth of understanding that we wouldn’t have otherwise.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>Every dig confirms the Bible.</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both Hasel and Gane addressed apparent challenges. “Sometimes, there are discrepancies between what the Bible says and what we have found through archaeology,” said Gane. “When that happens, I believe the Bible first. I’ve learned to set my questions on a shelf and wait. Often, time will answer those questions as we find more information.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She cited the example of Belshazzar in Daniel 5, who was unknown in the archaeological record until discoveries confirmed his existence through references connected to his father, Nabonidus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Presentations throughout the weekend explored Egypt, Babylon, Persia, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, highlighting the consistency between archaeological findings and Scripture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It’s important to recognize that many of the arguments against Scripture are based on a lack of evidence,” added Hasel. “But science is based on data, not a lack of it.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Evidence You Can See and Touch</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Held at Granite Bay Hilltop Church, which sits next to the Amazing Facts headquarters, the summit created an atmosphere of discovery and fellowship. Between meetings, attendees gathered at the front of the sanctuary to examine archaeological artifacts and replicas brought by the speakers. A special archaeology program for children helped young attendees engage with Scripture in a hands-on way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I heard so many testimonies from people who said, ‘We need things like this where we have an opportunity to go deeper, and where young people can see that the Bible is trustworthy and scientifically proven,’” said Pastor Doug. “Many non-members attended and were excited about being there.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rene Aguilera—recently baptized through an evangelistic series with Pastor Carlos Muñoz, Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism (AFCOE) director—attended the summit to learn more about his new faith and connect with other believers. “It was great,” he said. “We learned a lot that helped us understand the Bible better and made new friends.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite a brief technical issue when servers went down early in the weekend, the meetings continued to reach viewers worldwide. “God worked, and we were still able to broadcast,” Pastor Doug said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>AFCOE Intensive Builds a Foundation</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The summit was preceded by a three-day AFCOE Intensive, where 150 attendees received training on the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14. Instructors included Carlos, AFCOE assistant director Daniel Hudgens, Pastor Doug, and Jëan Ross, vice president for evangelism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Steve and Tami Sandmeyer traveled from Boise, Idaho, to attend. “My approach to religion is that it needs to be logical without great canyons between doctrines,” Steve said. “What I’m seeing here is that the sanctuary is the foundation that brings everything together. It brings logic to God’s plan.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A young woman named Maria attended the AFCOE intensive and the summit. “I feel like God is calling me to minister and use my skills for His glory,” she said. “Attending the AFCOE intensive was the first step of faith toward working full-time in ministry. Satan tried to prevent me from coming, but I’m so glad I did. I learned so much!” She is already sharing her faith. She invited a Hindu friend to join her for the summit. “She really enjoyed it and asked me a ton of questions afterward.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s exactly the goal of each Amazing Facts summit and intensive event—to strengthen people’s faith in God’s truth through biblical teaching and equip them to share their faith more effectively.</p>

			Explore the Benefits of Sabbath Rest			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today’s fast-paced society, where productivity is highly prized, the idea of slowing down for a weekly Sabbath rest can seem radical. But a growing body of research confirms Jesus’ words: “the Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In light of this growing body of research, SabbathTruth.com has published a three-part article series that explores the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of Sabbath observance, drawing on both biblical teaching and current science.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Resting the Body</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first article, “Faith and Physiology: How Weekly Rest Impacts Physical Health,” shows that keeping the Sabbath has measurable biological benefits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Continuous activity contributes to physical strain, including weakened immune function, poor sleep, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Current research supports the restorative effects of Sabbath observance, which allows the body to recover rather than remain in a constant state of overwork.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sabbath-keeping is also linked to longevity and greater productivity. It is presented not as optional downtime but as a necessary practice for maintaining health. The Sabbath functions as intentional care for the body God created. Weekly rest is built into His design for human well-being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Renewing the Mind</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, “Faith and Psychology: How Weekly Rest Impacts Mental Health” dives into how the Sabbath affects the mind. The always-on demands of modern life contribute to anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, and a diminished sense of self. Research shows that a weekly pattern of intentional rest reduces stress, sharpens focus, improves emotional regulation, and supports a stronger sense of purpose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also highlights how Sabbath observance strengthens mental health through faith-centered relationships and service. Time devoted to worship, family, and caring for others fosters connection, purpose, and emotional stability. These practices reinforce a sense of belonging and direction that counters isolation and burnout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Restoring the Spirit</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, “Faith and Identity: How Weekly Rest Impacts Spiritual Health” explores the Sabbath as a symbol of God’s faithfulness and love for us, and a reminder that “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a world that encourages us to earn our worth through accomplishments and possessions, this weekly day of rest reminds us that our true value is found in God.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The article also examines the links between Sabbath observance and creation, redemption, and interpersonal relationships. It reveals how resting on the seventh day strengthens our dependence on God and eliminates a self-sufficient mindset, and it demonstrates how the Sabbath is a glimpse into heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Complete Remedy</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, the three articles make the case that Sabbath rest was designed to touch every dimension of human life. Today, science continues to discover the countless benefits of this weekly blessing God instituted at the foundation of the world.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>The Sabbath functions as intentional care for the body God created.</p></blockquote></figure>

			From Sabbath School Study Hour to Studying the Word: A Name That Reflects the Mission			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For decades, <em>Sabbath School Study Hour</em> has been a trusted source of in-depth Bible teaching for viewers around the world. Regularly presented by Pastor Doug Batchelor, the weekly program has guided countless individuals through Scripture with clarity, balance, and practical application.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, Amazing Facts International is debuting a new name for this beloved broadcast: <em>Studying the Word</em>. The change reflects a desire to communicate the heart of the program more clearly to a wider audience—inviting viewers to open the Bible and explore its truths in a meaningful, accessible way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Importantly, each episode will continue to follow the weekly Sabbath School lesson. Viewers can expect the same verse-by-verse teaching, thoughtful insights, practical application for daily life, and Christ-centered focus that have defined the program for years.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>The focus has always been on helping people understand the Bible—this name simply makes that focus clearer.</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Amazing Facts continues to expand its digital outreach, <em>Studying the Word</em> is positioned to connect with both longtime viewers and new seekers wanting clear, Bible-based answers. The updated name is especially helpful for those unfamiliar with the term “Sabbath School,” making the program more inviting to a global audience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you’ve been studying along for years or are just discovering the program, <em>Studying the Word</em> is designed to help you understand and live by the Word of God.</p>

			A Providential Moment to Share Revelation 14!			</title>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Sunday, May 17, 2026, hundreds of thousands—perhaps up to a million—Christians are expected to gather on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for “Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving.” The event, tied to celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary, is said to focus on “rededicating America as one nation under God.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Believers from across the nation will come to celebrate America’s religious heritage and pray for spiritual renewal—yet most of them have never heard the full three angels’ messages of Revelation 14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Amazing Facts International, we believe this represents a providential opportunity to share the full light of God’s Word.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>More Than a Celebration</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Religious liberty has long held a cherished place in American history. But from a biblical perspective, freedom of conscience is more than a constitutional principle—it is deeply connected to worship and loyalty to God.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Revelation’s message calls God’s people to clarity and faithfulness in the final moments of Earth’s history. The second angel announces that Babylon is fallen—not as an accusation against sincere believers, but as a loving call from heaven to step fully into God’s revealed truth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Christians gather in Washington seeking revival, many may be longing for a deeper understanding of Scripture. The question for Sabbath-keepers is simple: Will we be there to share the message?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>“This moment is not merely about honoring history—it is about participating in God’s mission.”</p></blockquote></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Equipping the Church to Share</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To help members and churches take advantage of this historic opportunity, Amazing Facts has prepared the <strong ><a href="https://www.afbookstore.com/products/religious-freedom-bundle-by-amazing-facts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="color: red;">Religious Freedom Resource Bundle</a></strong>—a special witnessing kit designed for distribution at the Washington event and within local communities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each bundle includes a commemorative “Religious Freedom 250” bag bearing the words “If My People …” from 2 Chronicles 7:14, along with several key sharing resources:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="wp-block-list-item"><em>Religious Freedom &amp; America in Prophecy</em> (event edition)</li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item"><em>The Fall &amp; Rise of Jerusalem (The Great Controversy)</em></li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item"><em>America &amp; the Ten Commandments</em></li>



<li class="wp-block-list-item">A resource card linking to curated presentations and Bible studies. (<a href="https://www.religiousfreedom250.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See the landing page here!</a>)</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the resource card, seekers are directed to powerful Amazing Facts documentaries, including <em>Armageddon and the</em> <em>Final Events of Bible Prophecy;</em> <em>Revelation: The Bride, the Beast &amp; Babylon;</em> and <em>Kingdoms in Time</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A free copy of <em>The Final Events of Bible Prophecy</em> magazine is also being offered, along with access to online Bible studies designed to strengthen faith and encourage deeper study.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.afbookstore.com/products/religious-freedom-bundle-by-amazing-facts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="color: red;"><strong>Order your bundles for sharing!</strong> </a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>At the Event—and at Home</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While many people may be planning to travel to Washington to share God’s end-time message, the opportunity to share these <strong>Religious Freedom Resource Bundles</strong> is not limited to them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We encourage you and your local church to share these materials with pastors, friends, and neighbors in your own communities. Members can even host viewings of the featured presentations that initiate meaningful Bible conversations centered on religious freedom and prophecy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For believers who understand the prophetic significance of our time, revival movements like Rededicate 250 serve as openings for truth. When hearts are stirred toward spiritual renewal, they may be especially receptive to Scripture’s fuller message when given with clarity and compassion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you&#8217;re in Washington, D.C., or in a town or city across the country, you have an opportunity to place Christ-centered, prophecy-based resources into the hands of sincere seekers.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.afbookstore.com/products/religious-freedom-bundle-by-amazing-facts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="color: red;">Order your bundles today!</a></strong></p>
