Ohio Conference
On Sunday January 21, the Stereo Adventista Internacional team, Ohio Conference Officers, and distinguished guests gathered to celebrate a significant milestone - the sixth anniversary of the radio station's journey through virtual space. Commencing its broadcast on January 26, 2018, Stereo Adventista Internacional has steadfastly delivered a message of hope uninterrupted for six years.
Stereo Adventista Internacional, comprising four stations across major Ohio cities, operates thanks to the dedication of over 50 volunteers from various Hispanic churches within the Ohio Conference. The heart of this endeavor lies in its volunteer staff, whose commitment and effort drive the station's success.
Under the leadership of Pastor Peter Simpson of the Multilingual Ministries Department, and with the support of the Ohio Conference Administration - Elder Bob Cundiff, President; Elder Oswaldo Magaña, Secretary; and Mr. Roy Simpson, Treasurer - a special gala dinner was organized. This event served as a celebration and an expression of gratitude towards the volunteers who have contributed tirelessly to the station's mission.
The evening's program highlighted the crucial roles of live program presenters, radio controllers, correspondents, and editors, acknowledging their voluntary yet meticulous contribution to Stereo Adventista. Following the awards ceremony, attendees were treated to a sumptuous banquet, reflecting the appreciation and respect held for these dedicated individuals.
Stereo Adventista Internacional extended heartfelt thanks to God for His unwavering guidance, the Ohio Conference administration, the director of Multilingual Ministries, each volunteer, and the global audience. Their collective support has been instrumental in enabling the station to be a "Voice of Hope" reaching the world's farthest corners.

Although the church’s “Little Stars” Adventurer Club is less than a year old, the children led a special Adventurer Sabbath during the worship service. They participated in the opening of the service, presented a musical selection, recited Scripture-based poems, assisted with the collection of tithes and offerings, offered the prayer for the offering, and introduced the congregational hymn.

Each child received a Bible storybook and a pin recognizing the completion of their level. Following the worship service, club members completed the “My Church” Adventurer Award by meeting church leaders, asking questions about their roles, and learning more about how the church serves its congregation. The children also received commemorative gifts. The special Sabbath highlighted the involvement of the church’s youngest members in worship while encouraging their continued spiritual growth and engagement in the life of the congregation.
