RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … “To you, this is another staff meeting, but to me, this is a big deal,” Mic Thurber said to the conference office staff at the beginning of their monthly meeting, September 7.
Meeting the staff officially for the first time, Thurber chaired the meeting. After a worship thought by Mickey Mallory, RMC ministerial director, the new president began by sharing how he is eager to start his ministry in the RMC territory.
Thurber stated that when new leadership arrives, there is often anxiety among the staff concerned about how this change will affect them. Thurber explained his leadership style comes down to “I work for you,” referring to the fact he is not a micro-manager.

ADVENTIST FARMERS AND RANCHERS LEAD 24/7 WAY OF LIFE
By Jon Roberts – Casper, Wyoming … For many, a job is a four or five-day workweek consisting of eight to ten hours per day before going home. However, for the farmers and ranchers of Wyoming, it is a 24/7 way of life.
Tilling the soil and caring for the animals God created can often be challenging, but the benefits outweigh the difficult work. The Pedersens, cattle ranchers, and members of the Wheatland company, see their livelihood as a sustainable way of life.

NAD PRESIDENT COMMEMORATES 9/11, CALLS ADVENTISTS IN NORTH AMERICA TO PRAYER OF REMEMBRANCE
By North American Division News — Columbia, Maryland … As we remember how life in the United States and around the world changed 20 years ago when 3,000 lost their lives in terrorist acts on September 11, 2001 — as planes crashed through the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania — I urge our members in the North American Division to pray for those who were impacted by these events and lost loved ones on that day. We remember the first responders, many who gave their lives in service to their fellow human beings. We also remember the brave passengers on United Flight 93 who sacrificed their lives to save others.

COMMENTARY: DEBATE, ATTACK OR LOVE?
By Nate Elias — Have you ever changed the thinking of someone on a social media debate? I rarely see in-person debates sway a person’s opinion let alone an online debate. Yet Christians have joined the social media debates (or more likely online wars) of opinion.
When God incarnate, made his earthly presence, he entered into a world of debate. The Jewish nation all wanted the same thing, freedom from Rome.
