Dear Members and Supporters,

The past 12 months have rapidly flown by. In this startup phase ASIUK is creating awareness for evangelism in the marketplace. This was primarily done by hosing a number of roadshows across England. At these events ASI members shared how they evangelise in their workplace. It was interesting to hear how some of us have provided spiritual support. One participant offers small editions of Ellen White books in the foyer of his business. Others provide spiritual counselling when they are asked. The issue of not working on the Sabbath was also discussed. What was noticeable is that everyone is enthusiastic about sharing the gospel.

The first ASIUK convention is being held this weekend. I look forward to meeting you at our first convention on Sabbath, 21st June, at the Mercure Hotel in Daventry. Attendees will be inspired by guest speakers Johnny Wong and Christian Salcianu. With the purchase of a ticket not only will you gain entry, you will also receive a meal and refreshments. Visit www.asiuk.org/convention now to reserve your ticket. Tickets are available until 21:00 on Friday, 20th June.

Johnny Wong is a church planter and founder of Gateway Adventist Centre. He has conducted training in 20 countries worldwide, covering topics such as Care Group, Discipleship, Leadership and Church Planting. He is a lay person whose training is in Information Technology and has worked in senior management positions in Oracle, Ansett Group and Hewlett Packard.

Christian Salcianu is the Principal for the Adventist Discovery Centre (ADC). Salcianu was born in Romania and developed an interest in the Bible at the age of 16. As he discovered the Sabbath truth, he decided at the age of 20 to be baptised into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. After military academy he enrolled in the Theological Seminary of the University of Bucharest.

This Sunday the 22nd, the Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) will be held. Normally this event is held every two years however it was decided at the last OGM to hold this after the first year. All paid up Ordinary Members are invited to participate in this meeting. Reports will be shared and officers elected.

It would be an understatement if I said that starting up ASIUK is challenging. As a result, some members of the executive members will sadly be leaving the committee because of time constraints. Fortunately for us they will still be supporting the association however in a different capacity. ASIUK looks forward to working with them in the near future.

This provides an opportunity for enthusiastic members to participate in the running of ASIUK. If you are interested come to the OGM on Sunday, 22 June 2025 for a 10:00am start at the Northampton Central SDA Church, 74 Highlands Ave, Northampton, NN3 6BQ.

Personally, I would like to thank the Executive Committee for all their time and dedication over the past year. Also, I would like to thank all the Members and Supporters for all the trust you have given us. Finally, much praise to God for all the blessings he has bestowed on ASIUK. May God continue to bless each and every one of you.

Sincerely,

Daniel Klop - ASI-UK President
