Adventist History: First Adventist Missionaries to Indonesia

 


This week in Adventist history, we revisit the story of Ralph and Carrie Munson, the first Adventist missionaries to Indonesia, embarking on January 1, 1900. Ralph Munson was born on July 6, 1860, in the US state of Ohio. His wife, Carrie Gasser, was born on March 7, 1863, in Toledo, Ohio. Married on September 30, 1886, they had 5 children. Initially serving as Methodist missionaries in India and Burma, declining health led them to return to the United States in 1896. Ashlee Chism delves into this story on This Week in Adventist History. Visit https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/ for more Adventist stories and events. Established in 1863, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a global Christian family with over 21 million members who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority. We are believers who help people understand the Bible to find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus.

Ex.: mentiras pequenas, fofocas, impaciência, grosseria, impureza nos pensamentos. Esses “detalhes” moldam nosso caráter. 📺 2. Influências que nos afastam de Deus Conteúdos, amizades ou ambientes que lentamente moldam nossos valores para longe da Palavra. Às vezes não percebemos, mas o coração vai esfriando. 🕒 3. Negligenciar o tempo com Deus Não é uma rejeição aberta, mas pequenas escolhas diárias: “Hoje não vou orar”, “Depois eu estudo a Bíblia.” Aos poucos, a voz de Deus se torna distante. ❤️ 4. Ceder ao medo ou dúvi...
