Mary Bukowiec had been studying the Bible for over 18 months with her brother, Ed Cloutier, who became a Seventh-day Adventist four years earlier and today is a member of the Mt. Pleasant Church. With Ed's encouragement, Mary took their mother to the Battle Creek Lifestyle Health Center, where she greatly benefited from putting into use the Adventist health principles she learned there.

Although Mary lives in Standish, an hour’s drive from the Midland Church, her quadriplegic sister, Theresa, lives in a Midland home-care facility. Mary decided she would like to take her sister to the Adventist church in Midland, so she telephoned the church to ask for directions. She learned during the telephone call that a Revelation Chronicles seminar was to begin soon.

She attended most of the Revelation sessions, despite the long drive, and later brought her mother and sister to the Tuesday evening Revelation Speaks follow-up Bible studies. Convinced the biblical truths she heard were God’s truths for this time, she was baptized. Today she is seeking to be an active witness to her mother and sister in order to win them to Jesus Christ and have a united family waiting for Christ’s second advent.
