Seventh-day Adventists open major conference on Wednesday
Kaieteur News – The Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists is set to hold its 6th Quadrennial Session from April 12-14, 2023, at the Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, followed by convention and installation of officers at the National Cultural Centre on Saturday April 15, 2023.

The session is themed “Anchored in His Promises, Advancing His Purpose,” and will bring together delegates from across the country to discuss mission goals, receive reports from administrators and directors, make suggestions for future effectiveness and elect officers to serve for the new quadrennium.
The sixty-five thousand strong Adventist population in Guyana will be represented by approximately 400 local delegates and will be joined by delegates from the mother organisation, the Caribbean Union Conference, the next higher organisation, the Inter-American Division and administrators from sister fields across the Caribbean Union. Also joining the large delegation will be international speaker of the Breath of Life Ministries and Pastor of the Oakwood University Church, Pastor Deblearie Snell.
“Beyond the important task of managing the business of the church, the session will also be a reflection of the mosaic of diversity within the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Guyana. A true sampling of the cultural variety of our composition, a flavouring of authentic Guyanese diversity,” so says Pastor Osley Edwards, Communications Director of the Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
He continues: “through this diverse representation, we are able to make transformational deposits to our society in almost every community across this country in the areas of health, family life, youth development, community enrichment and spiritual development. These daily outstanding contributions to our society is also a point of acknowledgement at this session.”
A colourful and solemn opening ceremony is planned for Wednesday April 12 to kick start the 3-day session, a major decision making forum of the church. Also in attendance at the opening ceremony will be the President, Irfaan Ali, Opposition Leader, Aubrey Norton and Mayor of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine.
While the business sessions will remain closed to delegates in attendance, the devotional sessions in the mornings and evenings will be streamed live on the Facebook and YouTube platforms at Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
