UP to 5,000 Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) members have congregated at Viru last week to celebrate the arrival of the SDA gospel in the country.
The week-long celebration was officially opened by Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo last Tuesday who congratulated the church for its journey thus far and its contribution to the country.

The theme for the celebration was “We’ve come this far by Faith”.
