Adventism

The first Signs of the Times Publishing House was originally established in 1852 by an American pastor named James White (1821–1881), who purchased a small press and started to print pamphlets. Based upon that, it gradually developed and became the first publishing house of SDA Publishing Association. Adventist Church claimed currently she has a worldwide baptized membership of about over 17 million people and she operates numerous institutions, churches, schools, healthy centers, clinics, hospitals and 62 publishing houses over 200 countries.
