NO donations accepted! This is a movement an not a ministry. Contact: sdapearl@yahoo.
We are lay Seventh-day Adventists in regular and good standing who are committed to God's remnant church and believe that God has a purpose and a plan for His church. We attend mainstream Seventh-day Adventist churches and are involved in supporting ministries that are committed to evangelism. We believe in the Biblically based fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church.
This ministry is currently manned mainly from Australia with four lay people who are committed to bring before our people the danger that our church is in with the unbiblical statements that have been placed on our church's official website under beliefs. There are also two other lay people in north America who are helping. They are all assisting with the enormous amount of enquiries and administrative activity required.
This is a completely voluntary and lay-led ministry and it does not take donations.
The 2015 immunization statement and the 2021 reaffirmation statement were used by church employers and non-church employers to deprive our brothers and sisters of their religious liberty. This is because they are not Biblically sound.
We encourage all of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to stand in their congregational business meetings to reject these statements and vote for Sola Scriptura.
There have been two main speakers for this movement: Henk Viljoen and Joanna de Bruyn. They live in separate places in different parts of Australia with their respective families. They believe in standing for Sola Scriptura. The views expressed by each of these speakers are their own personal opinions and are not necessarily reflective of the views of each other or any ministry that they may be associated with outside of SDAPEARL.
For any bookings for a speaker to speak to a group on the sdapearl movement, please contact sdapearl@yahoo.com
We DO NOT accept ANY donations and would never accept tithe. This website is funded solely by a family who believe in this ministry. No outside sources of finances have been given to progress or sustain this work. We do not elicit or wish to receive donations.

A question we get asked a lot is, "Does this really matter?" Why are you making such a big deal and is it "a hill to die on?." That is, are we really needing to do anything about these statements and does it matter in the prophetic scheme of things. Here is the answer.
Another question that people will ask is why have a business meeting to address this issue? If this is a reformation movement, then God works at the level of the individual so that is all that matters. Why cause unnecessary division by having a business meeting. Here is the answer.

Our Pastor is telling us that to include this item on the agenda that he wants an elder's meeting to approve it. So how do we get this on the agenda if it is being controlled like that? What is appropriate procedure and how do we do it?
