Ontario Conference Digital Outreach Day — January 10, 2026

December 17, 2025 | Edwin Martin | Ontario Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

The Ontario Conference Digital Outreach Day will take place on January 10, 2026, and we warmly invite every church, ministry, and member to participate. This united day of online witness is an opportunity to help the public discover who Seventh-day Adventists are, what we believe, and how we serve others with love and purpose.

On this day, we encourage you to use your social media platforms to share hope-filled messages, faith stories, and authentic glimpses of God at work in your life and community. You can participate by:

• Sharing posts using the hashtags
  #WhoAreAdventists | #AdventistLife | #AdventistOntario | #DigitalOutreachDay
• Posting a short testimony video about how Jesus has impacted your life, family, or ministry
• Liking, sharing, and reposting graphics, videos, or written content from the Ontario Conference, your local church, and other Adventist organisations
• Engaging thoughtfully and graciously with comments, questions, and messages—always reflecting Christ in every interaction

Whether your reach is large or small, every post matters. Together, we can fill digital spaces with truth, compassion, and hope.

Let us unite to share Jesus—our Hope—and the mission He has entrusted to us as a church, reaching hearts one post at a time.

We look forward to seeing how God will use your voice on Digital Outreach Day. Thank you for being a part of this important mission.
