2 April 2014 | St Albans, United Kingdom [Raafat Kamal, tedNEWS] It is with joy and a sense of awe that Dr Bertil Wiklander, President of the Trans-European Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (TED), received the good news that the TED Thirteenth Sabbath School Offering projects will be supported with one million dollars.
Dr Gary Krause, Director of Adventist Mission at the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, wrote the following: “You have probably heard by now the good news that you will be receiving $US1,005,865 for your Thirteenth Sabbath Offering projects. We are delighted that the 25 percent of the fourth quarter 2013 that goes to Thirteenth Sabbath Offering projects broke more than $US1 million for the first time in the history of the offering!”
Many places within the 22 countries of the TED will benefit from the Thirteenth Sabbath School Offering to support and establish new congregations by spreading the gospel through innovative evangelistic ministries such as Bible 3D and Messy Church models. Furthermore, new evangelistic centres will be established in Greece and Macedonia.
“There is something about God’s people working together as a world community that creates unique synergy – an increased effectiveness that results when two or more people or entities work together – which is what God has called us to, “ stated Dr Wiklander. He also added that “God’s people have displayed a heart of generosity in support of the Great Commission to make God known in many parts of Europe. Without funding from this offering, many of these worthy ministries could not be accomplished. On behalf of the church in the TED, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to our world church members for their commitment and support.” [tedNEWS]
