What Does “Adventist” Mean?
The “Adventist” in Adventist Development and Relief Agency International (ADRA) is reflective of the fact that the Seventh-day Adventist Church established this independent, humanitarian agency. The values that shaped the agency are the traditional Christian values of the potential of each individual to reflect the compassionate image of God, the dignity that is inherent in every person, and the importance of quality in human life. ADRA International meets needs without regard to an individual’s religious affiliation, helping those who need it most.
