From the northern lights of Iceland to the warm shores of Cyprus, <\/em><em>from the bustling city streets of London <\/em><em>to quiet church halls in Lithuania, the Spirit has been moving mightily. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In these few pages, you will find stories of resilience and renewal, of discipleship and innovation, of lives touched and transformed. You will meet people and read about projects that reflect the unique diversity and unity of our Division. You will witness how the gospel continues to bear fruit in new and unexpected ways and even in unexpected places.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23929\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23929\" style=\"width: 629px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23929 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-11-01-JIM_0441-Enhanced-NR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-11-01-JIM_0441-Enhanced-NR.jpg 629w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-11-01-JIM_0441-Enhanced-NR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-11-01-JIM_0441-Enhanced-NR-500x280.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2024-11-01-JIM_0441-Enhanced-NR-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23929\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TED Officers from left to Right: Robert Cs Csizmadia (Executive Secretary), Daniel Duda (President), Nenad Jepuranovic (Treasurer)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like every one of the 1003 editions before it, this special issue of <em>tedNEWS<\/em> is crafted to inform, inspire and encourage &#8211; not only delegates at the GC Session, but all members across the Trans-European Division.
