America (Seventh-day Adventists)
In 1844 Seventh-day Adventists arose and had spread to nearly all the
world by the close of the 19th Century. Their name is derived from their
teaching of the seventh-day Sabbath and the Advent of Jesus. In 1874
their work was established in Europe, 1885 -Australasia, 1887-South Africa,
1888-Asia, 1888-South America. Seventh-day Adventists uphold the same
Sabbath that Jesus and His followers kept. The sacred Torch of Truth
was not extinguished through the long centuries. Adventists are working
today in nearly 1000 languages of earth and have over 27,000 churches.
Over ten million members around the globe welcome the sacred Sabbath
hours.
