Pastor Daniel Ebenezer, former Personal Ministries and Evangelism Director of the North England Conference<\/a>, UK, has been appointed Director of the Sabbath School and Personal Ministries departments at the Seventh-day Adventist Church world headquarters. The decision was made during the 2025 Annual Council of the General Conference Executive Committee<\/a>. Ebenezer previously served as Associate Director of the department from October 2023.<\/p>\n Church leaders acknowledged his experience in disciple-making and member empowerment in appointing him to the new role. His ministry experience includes work in India and the United Kingdom, particularly in personal evangelism and church planting.<\/p>\n \u201cI rejoice about the election of Daniel Ebenezer as the GC Sabbath School and Personal Ministries director,\u201d said Dr Daniel Duda, President of the Trans-European Division (TED). \u201cHe did a splendid work as a local church pastor and departmental director in the North England Conference. We worked together at the TED Mission Board. We wish him God\u2019s richest blessings on his new assignment, so that the whole world field is blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally from India, Ebenezer\u2019s journey into ministry began at age 14 when he encountered the Adventist message through the influence of Ralph Roberts, a Bible instructor at the Adventist school in Chennai. In his own words, that early experience revealed to him \u201cthe power of personal labour in soul-winning.\u201d<\/p>\n
