It is with great excitement that we present to you the very first issue of ‘The Contagious Adventist’. The concept of Contagious Adventism came about as Gospel Commission’s theme for their upcoming evangelical seminar, and because it resonates so well with the group’s mission and aim, it has spilt over onto other initiatives- this magazine included. In the pages that follow we unpack what is means to be a contagious Christian, specifically in relation to the Advent message of our Lord’s second coming. You may be wondering who Gospel Commission is and what they are all about. Find out on page 3. How bright is your light shining? Have you inspired people around you to follow your faith? In ‘The Contagion Effect’, page 16, we feature stories of kindness, love and friendship touching souls and leading them to Christ. Putting together this issue has been quite a journey. We have seen God’s hand at work and we hope that you, our reader, will be inspired to embrace the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20, and do your bit, according to the talents that God has gifted you with. Happy Reading! -Sithembile Moyo P.S. You stories and testimonies are most welcome. Our email address is [email protected]

"God is love" is written upon every opening bud, upon every spire of springing grass. The lovely birds making the air vocal with their happy songs, the delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green -- all testify to the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make His children happy. [Steps to Christ]
