The purpose of their appointment is to support the TED\u2019s strategic aim of helping the church grow \u2013 through evangelism, mission, and disciple-making, and with a strong Adventist identity.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic WagenerSmith and de Waal were not able fully commence their roles until the early part of 2022. As they have hit the ground running over the past few months &#8211; working for the first time within the TED territory, I want to know more about their background, what makes them tick, their understanding of the role they have been called to, and of course, to explain the core connection between disciple-making and mission.<\/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_26683\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J6eTD_cpBUU?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=\"Evangelism the message - Discipleship the journey\"  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>Our extended conversation took place over zoom, during a time when &#8216;social distancing&#8217; was still the order of the day.
