1 December 2024 | St. Albans, UK [tedNEWS with Adrian Dur\u00e9]<\/p>\n

In partnership with Hope Media Europe, GAIN Europe has launched My Greatest Purpose<\/em>, a global Seventh-day Adventist church project exploring life’s purpose. The initiative, presented at GAIN Europe in Budva, Montenegro<\/a>, includes three documentary series, a narrative film, and an upcoming book, developed over two years by media centres and church entities worldwide.<\/p>\n

The project, coordinated by Adrian Dur\u00e9 and supported by the communication departments of the Trans-European (TED) and Inter-European (EUD) Divisions, reflects collaboration across regions. The North American Division (NAD) under Julio Mu\u00f1oz produced a narrative film, Inner Space,<\/em> while Norel Iacob was the book editor.<\/p>\n

Focusing on Influential Public Figures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Responding to feedback from previous productions, the project spotlights well-known public figures, a first for Adventist media. “We wanted to reach new audiences with positive, hopeful messages,” said Dur\u00e9. After much persistence, the team secured influential individuals eager to share their transformative stories.<\/p>\n

The Documentary Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. My Greatest Victory<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis series highlights five elite athletes, including Aguska Mnich, a freestyle football legend with three Guinness World Records, who credits God for transforming her life. Nicola Olyslagers, a Paris Olympics standout, shares how the high jump shaped her character, while swimmer Moesha Johnson and others inspire with stories of faith and resilience.<\/p>\n
