The Adventist message has not gone evenly throughout the world. Some conferences/missions have a very high percentage of Seventh-day Adventists. Other conferences/missions have each Seventh-day Adventist church (if we have one) doing its best to take the Adventist message to a million people or more. And some countries have no organized Seventh-day Adventist work at all. Let’s pray for a breakthrough in the following areas. (Source: 2007 Annual Statistical Report, pp. 76-77)
