The Upper Columbia Conference has been focusing on planting new churches. In the past 7 years, the number of churches has increased by 17% which translates to 21 new churches.— FROM THE DESK OF DON C SCHNEIDER, President of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists.
One of those new churches (the Pullman, WA Adventist church led by pastor Doug Venn) was featured on the cover (and page 8f.) of the February 24, 2005 Adventist Review http://www.adventistreview.org/pdf/2005/1508-2005.pdf
