The group, aged 18 to 25, arrived on 23 April and is now actively involved in various ministry initiatives connected with LifeStyleTV and the surrounding community in V\u00e4rmland.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the student missionaries studied media at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventistyearbook.org\/entity?EntityID=10469\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">River Plate Adventist University<\/a>, an Adventist institution in Argentina. Others are pursuing studies in theology and psychology.<\/p>\n<p>Since their arrival, the students have become involved in community life and church activities. Five members of the group sing in a local Lutheran church choir, where their participation has been warmly welcomed. Two others are active in a Bible study group in the nearby town of Arvika, about 20 kilometres from the LifeStyleTV campus.<\/p>\n<p>The student missionaries are also helping prepare and deliver a new season of programmes and outreach activities through LifeStyleTV\u2019s media ministry. Their work includes practical service, media involvement and community engagement, giving them opportunities for professional development and cross-cultural mission experience.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the group is helping prepare for the new LifeStyleSTAY retreat season, supporting guests who come to the ministry\u2019s retreat hotel for short stays focused on rest, health and spiritual renewal.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a video featuring the student missionaries who served at LifeStyleTV last year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_17255\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dF8IaEIS2U8?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;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"Misjon\u00e6rer til Europa\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>[Photo: Claus Nybo \/ LifeStyleTV]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventist.no\/nyheter\/nye-studentmisjonaerer-pa-lifestyletv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original version<\/a> of this article was posted in Norwegian on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventist.no\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Norwegian Union Conference<\/a> website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cross-cultural mission in Sweden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":25972,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,1607],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-norwegian-union-conference"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25970","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\/43"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25970"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26103,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25970\/revisions\/26103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
