Welcome to the
Hendersonville Seventh-day Adventist Church
Hendersonville Youth
The Hendersonville, N.C. youth are leading the way in evangelism. First, it was an evangelistic campaign held in the Hendersonville church, where more than 200 attended the nightly event. Then, the youth traveled to West Virginia to hold a two-week series there.
“The evangelistic events were entirely youth led,” states Jorge Baute', associate pastor. The idea was sparked when several of the youth went to the General Youth Conference (GYC). It was there that the challenge was presented to hold an evangelistic series. “The youth didn’t hesitate . . . they took the challenge,” Baute' continued.
Within months the young evangelistic team had chosen their speakers and support staff. The series they selected to preach, “New Beginnings,” is produced by ShareHIM and designed for young preachers. They chose the “Abundant Living” health series for the health presentations.
The Hendersonville youth knew they were experiencing the Holy Spirit at work. One young person exclaimed, “No human words can describe the majesty and awe of His presence as we began to speak.”
The only regret expressed by the young evangelistic team was the desire that more visitors from the community would have attended. Baute' reminded them that, “God does not call to great success, but to faithfulness.”
As a result of their series, the youth-led evangelistic team had the thrill of witnessing several baptisms. They were very glad they had answered the call.
