<\/a>Marek Micyk, youth director for the church in Poland, presented plans as to how Adventist young people would use the release of the film in November to share their faith in this predominantly Roman Catholic country of 38.5 million people with only 5,820 Adventists.<\/p>\n
On the streets, young people will be stationed outside cinemas with free booklets about Doss \u2014 including a special edition of the Polish Signs of the Times magazine, and possibly a translated version of a 32-page booklet that is being prepared by the church\u2019s It Is Written television ministry for distribution in the United States.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople like to hear true stories,\u201d Micyk said. \u201cSo people will come out of the cinemas wanting to learn more about Desmond Doss. We will try to share give them something more.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPeople will not carry other people as Desmond Doss did, but they will be given some kind of weight and they will run,\u201d Micyk said.<\/p>\n USB memory sticks with materials about Doss and the Adventist Church will be distributed to journalists, and popular Polish YouTubers will be offered information that they can use to record programmes about Doss.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to reach young people, and they use the Internet more than television,\u201d Micyk said.<\/p>\n The local Adventist publishing house will print a Polish edition of the book Desmond Doss: Conscientious Objector, a 2005 biography by Doss\u2019 wife Frances M. Doss, and the local Hope Channel is putting Polish subtitles on Terry Benedict\u2019s 2004 award-winning documentary \u201cConscientious Objector.\u201d<\/p>\n The Polish plans won immediate praise from Victor Hulbert, communication director for the Trans-European Division.<\/p>\n \u201cI am very impressed with what you are doing,\u201d said Hulbert, who attended the meeting of church leaders in Warsaw on Tuesday. \u201cI am glad that you have seen the big picture, what is happening out in the world, and saying, \u2018We can do something with this as a church.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Other parts of the world church also are gearing up for the movie\u2019s international premiere on Nov. 4. The church in Australia and Serbia are also reprinting portions of Hulbert\u2019s magazine. In North America, Pacific Press will rerelease the book Desmond Doss: Conscientious Objector, and Tennessee-based It Is Written will oversee the church\u2019s local response to an expected inflow of questions connected to the Doss story.<\/p>\n Miroslaw Karauda, evangelism director for the Adventist Church in Poland, said the outreach initiatives planned for Poland might not only point people to Jesus but also help energize local Adventist young people.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would be great if our youth could engage in all these outreach initiatives,\u201d he said. \u201cWe hope that these ideas could serve as a revival for our youth and inspire them.\u201d[ted<\/em>NEWS]<\/p>\n Editor’s note: Adventist Review news editor, Andrew McChesney, is currently traveling in Europe with Trans-European Division Communication director Victor Hulbert and reporting on Adventist work in the region.
