Pastor Jose Cortes Jr., is an Associate Ministerial Director and Leads Evangelism for the Adventist Church in North America. 

The Annual SEEDS Church planting conference will be January 27-28 at the St. Louis Central Church. The main speaker will be Jose Cortes, Jr., from the North American Division Ministerial Departmental and the Plant 1000 Initiative. The NAD is leading an initiative to return to our Adventist roots and become a church planting movement again, as was early Adventism. There will be plenary sessions Friday night and Sabbath morning, and then breakout seminars Sabbath afternoon. So even if you have responsibilities at your church on Sabbath morning, you can join in on Friday night and Sabbath afternoon.
