May 10, 2016 To: Leaders of all Member Conferences of the Seventh Day Baptist World Federation.

I bring you greetings from our one and only Savior, Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings, and who daily loads us with benefits.

It is with an immeasurable sense of joy that I announce to you that by an affirmative vote of 15 of our 18 member Conferences, it was decided that the Uganda Seventh Day Baptist Conference be accepted into the membership of the Seventh Day Baptist World Federation. I express my gratitude to each of you for facilitating the vote of your Conference, and for sending in your ballots to my office before the requested deadline.

Please join me in welcoming into our family, our brethren from Uganda on the African continent. Their General Secretary, Rev. Daniel Nsubuga, is planning to be with us in Brazil in January 2017 for the next World Federation Sessions. It is also my prayer that we, or someone from our Conference, are all planning to be there as well.

May the SDB World Federation member Conferences continue to grow exponentially to the glory of God, for of such is His Kingdom.

Yours for the global glory of God,

Pastor Andrew Samuels General Secretary, SDB World Federation
