Come Visit ADRA's World

Toronto, with its 2.4 million inhabitants, seems far removed from ADRA's world. Yet here in the heart of the clean, modern city with its landmark CN Tower overlooking the waters of Lake Ontario, visitors to the 2000 General Conference Session will be able to catch a glimpse of ADRA's world.

"ADRA's World" is the theme of the main ADRA exhibit located next to the central exhibit, just inside the main entrance to the Exhibit Hall. Those of you who follow ADRA's work will recognize "ADRA's World" as the name of the weekly television program that airs on 3ABN.

Visitors to this exhibit can sample a refugee biscuit, talk with ADRA staff, watch a video, and wander through the exhibit, which will feature miniature habitats representing homes from three regions of the developing world. Be sure to stop by and pick up a brochure about ADRA's work. Free daily drawings will be held each evening. Prizes for the drawings will include works of art from Africa, South America and Asia.

In the Commercial Hall, visitors can support ADRA projects by purchasing shirts, caps, key rings and other items. All profits from the sale of these items will be used to help people in need through ADRA's many projects. If you buy an ADRA item as a souvenir or get a gift for someone back home, you will be helping to make a difference in someone's life. You can also help raise awareness about ADRA and its work whenever you use the item.

ADRA's national spokesperson Steve Darmody, award-winning baritone and founder of MorningSong Music, will have a booth representing ADRA and MorningSong. Each year, Steve gives more than 100 concerts where he shares his music and tells of ADRA's work.

ADRA will be represented on the Exhibit Hall stage, which will feature programs each day except Sabbath. ADRA's programs will include a concert by Steve Darmody and other special features including musicians from the countries or regions that make up ADRA's world.

ADRA has a presence in more than 120 countries of the world. Don't miss this opportunity to find out what ADRA is doing there. [Rick Kajiura]
