The Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists is set to hold its 6th Quadrennial Session from April 12-14, 2023, under the theme “Anchored in His Promises, Advancing His Purposes” at the Central Seventh-day Adventist Church. The session will be followed by a convention and installation of officers at the National Cultural Centre on Saturday April 15, 2023.
The session brings together delegates from across the country to discuss mission goals, receive reports from administrators and directors, make suggestions for future effectiveness and elect officers to serve for the new quadrennium.
Guyana’s 65,000-strong Adventist population will be represented by approximately 400 local delegates and will be joined by delegates from the Caribbean Union Conference, the Inter-American Division and administrators from sister fields across the Caribbean. Also joining the large delegation will be international speaker of the Breath of Life Ministries and Pastor of the Oakwood University Church, Pastor Deblearie Snell.
“Beyond the important task of managing the business of the church, the session will also be a reflection of the mosaic of diversity within the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Guyana,” according to Communications Director of the Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Pastor Osley Edwards. “A true sampling of the cultural variety of our composition, a flavouring of authentic Guyanese diversity. Through this diverse representation, we are able to make transformational deposits to our society in almost every community across this country in the areas of health, family life, youth development, community enrichment and spiritual development. These daily outstanding contributions to our society is also a point of acknowledgement at this session.”
President Irfaan Ali, Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton and Mayor of Georgetown Ubraj Narine will be in attendance at the solemn ceremony on Wednesday to kickstart the three-day session. While the business sessions will only be open to delegates in attendance, the devotional sessions in the mornings and evenings will be livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube at Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
