We have faced the consequences of a global pandemic, a war that has directly impacted people in our territory, a cost-of-living crisis, and the growing influence of secularism, post-modernism, relativism, and pluralism. Yet in the midst of all this, God has continued to work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_10558\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d3CkdHokU7c?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/ted.adventist.org&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"TED Report to the 62nd General Conference Session, 2025\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>We have seen young people stepping up to lead, churches reaching out in creative and courageous ways, and communities coming together to serve and support one another. We have witnessed active ADRA teams responding powerfully, modelling God&#8217;s character of love and compassion, and our pastors and members remaining faithful, even when the road was tough.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1340\">This report is not about ecclesiastical programmes or numbers. It is about people. It is about telling the story of faith. It is about the extraordinary things God can do through ordinary women and men who say yes to His calling\u2014people who allow the Holy Spirit to use them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1703\">Before we show you our video, let me say one more thing. Around 55% of our budget comes from world church appropriations. So we want to thank you\u2014our global family\u2014for standing with us in mission. Although we receive appropriations, we also give more to our fields than we receive. Your contributions support frontline mission work in our part of the world.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1956\">On behalf of the Trans-European family, thank you for supporting us in God\u2019s mission. Thank you for the missionaries you have sent us! We still believe the Gospel changes lives\u2014and we remain committed to sharing that hope across our region and beyond.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1958\" data-end=\"2135\">The work is not finished\u2014there is still much to be done. But we move forward with confidence, because we serve a great God who is already at work ahead of us through His Spirit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2359\">And now, rather than just tell you about it, we\u2019d like to show you. Here is a glimpse into the people, places, and mission of the Trans-European Division over the past three years. This is His story\u2014God\u2019s story\u2014across TED.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2396\">Thank you, and enjoy the video.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2468\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God\u2019s mission in TED<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":24158,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1192,1576,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commentary","category-leadership-development","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24155"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24255,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24155\/revisions\/24255"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
