It is the time to get involved, we have work to do.\u201d Lee described that work as \u201cmaking Jesus Christ famous\u201d and was quick to add that this is to be accomplished by the \u201cdynamite power of the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What followed the message, and the beautiful prayer session, can only be described as a joyful video-report binge. Willie and Elaine Oliver, hosts for the event, introduced the reports from the 13 divisions back-to-back. The reports were scheduled all in one day out of respect for virtual delegates connecting via video conference. This way, business sessions could be concluded by Thursday, and different sunset times around the world would not prevent virtual delegates from participating on Friday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_87991\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jbr1hED-Two?enablejsapi=1&origin=https:\/\/ted.adventist.org&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"Trans-European Division Report to the General Conference Session 2022\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>The video marathon was a powerful testimony of the way God led the church in the last quinquennium, even during the pandemic and armed conflicts.
