🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, selflessness, and devotion to the cause of freedom will never be forgotten.

As our nation approaches the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we are reminded that the blessings of liberty have come at a great cost. Today, we remember those who gave their lives so that future generations could live in freedom and hope.

May we honor their legacy not only with remembrance, but by striving to build communities marked by faith, unity, justice, compassion, and service to others.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

Happy Mother's Day!

Today, we pause to celebrate and honor the remarkable mothers across the Southeastern Conference and around the world. Your love, sacrifice, strength, and unwavering faith continue to shape homes, nurture communities, and advance the mission of God's church.

We thank God for your prayers, your perseverance, and the countless ways you reflect His grace daily.

To every mother—biological, spiritual, adoptive, and those who lovingly stand in the gap—may you feel deeply appreciated and abundantly blessed today.

“Her children arise and call her blessed…” — Proverbs 31:28

With gratitude and appreciation,
Michael K. Agyei Owusu

National Day of Prayer – May 7, 2026
“Glorify God Among the Nations—Seeking Him in All Generations.”

Today we are reminded that prayer is both our privilege and our power. Across every generation—young and old, seasoned and new in the faith; God invites us to seek Him with sincere hearts and united voices. In a world filled with uncertainty, prayer anchors us in hope, aligns us with God’s will, and connects us to His purpose for our lives and our communities.

As we join believers across the nation today, may our prayers rise beyond our personal needs to embrace our families, our churches, our leaders, and the nations of the world. Let us glorify God not only with our words, but with lives that reflect His grace, truth, and love.

“From one generation to another, we will declare Your works, O Lord.” (Psalm 145:4)

The Southeastern Conference family warmly congratulates Pastor Arnold Beauvais on the successful completion of the Master of Pastoral Ministry degree from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University! 🎓

This achievement reflects both personal commitment and our Conference’s strategic priority of investing in the professional development of our pastoral team. Through this initiative, pastors who are actively serving in ministry and are not able to enroll in the full-time Master of Divinity program are encouraged and supported to pursue the Master of Pastoral Ministry, an advanced degree designed specifically to strengthen effectiveness in active pastoral service.

We are especially grateful that Pastor Beauvais has embraced this opportunity for continued growth while faithfully serving the local church. His dedication to learning, leadership, and ministry excellence strengthens not only his congregation but the mission of the Southeastern Conference as a whole.

Please join us in celebrating this important milestone and in praying for God’s continued blessing upon his ministry as together we move Higher! Reaching Up to God. 🙌🏽✨

The Southeastern Conference family joyfully congratulates Pastor Nicolas Louis, our Director of Haitian Creole/French Ministries on the successful completion of the Doctor of Ministry degree from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University! 🎓

This achievement represents not only a personal milestone, but also a significant blessing to the mission of our Conference. With approximately 36–37% of our membership worshiping in Haitian Creole/French congregations, this accomplishment strengthens our shared commitment to equipping, guiding, resourcing, and inspiring our churches and leaders for effective ministry and service.

His doctoral project, “A Strategy to Address the Challenges of Intergenerational Conflict in the Haitian Churches at Southeastern Conference in Florida,” reflects both thoughtful scholarship and deep pastoral concern for strengthening unity, understanding, and mission effectiveness across generations within our Haitian congregations.

In his role, he faithfully works under the direction of the Office of the President to coordinate and advance the mission, vision, and departmental initiatives of the Southeastern Conference among our Haitian Creole/French-speaking members and congregations. His leadership continues to help ensure that every ministry avenue supports the growth and spiritual vitality of this important segment of our Conference family.

Please join us in celebrating this remarkable achievement and in praying for God’s continued blessing on his ministry as we move Higher! Reaching Up to God together. 🙌🏽✨

Southeastern Conference was honored to welcome over 4,000 Pathfinders, leaders, parents, and supporters to our Conference Campground this weekend (April 17-18) for the 2026 North American Division Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) Finals! 📖✨

The Pathfinder Bible Experience is the official Bible study program of the North American Division Pathfinders. It is designed to help young people meditate on God’s Word, reflect on its meaning, and apply its truths in their daily lives—at home, at school, and in their churches. The journey to the Division-level event includes four stages of participation: Area → Conference → Union → Division Finals.

This year, Pathfinders prayerfully studied Isaiah chapters 1–33, committing large portions of Scripture to memory along with key insights from the SDA Bible Commentary introductions. Their dedication reflects a deep love for God’s Word and a commitment to spiritual growth. 🙏🏾

We were especially blessed to host this year’s Division Finals right here on the beautiful Southeastern Conference Campground.

We celebrate our Pathfinders for reaching higher through Scripture, discipline, and faith. The future of the church is strong when our young people are grounded in the Word of God! 🌟
