"From Words of Despair to Words of Hope" was the topic of the opening morning devotional presented by Dr. Stephen Guptill, President of Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS). Quoting Nehemiah's example, how he handled crisis, Dr. Guptill challenged the leaders to trust God's leading in times of difficulty. Armando Miranda, General Conference Vice President, presented the second morning devotional sharing the message of Bartimaeus, a blind man begging Jesus, “Master, I want to regain my sight.” Pastor Miranda emphasized that this should be our desire: to ask God to change our attitude, our mindset towards the challenges and to see God’s leading and blessings.
