Take A Peek At The Adventist Church Growth In Europe

Let us explore the history of the Adventist Church in Europe. In 2019, the region marked its 90th anniversary. There are many tales about its expansions. Here is a sneak peek: Trans-European Division: A multi-cultural entity
Known first as the Northern European Division, TED has experienced several restructuring. From Scandinavian and British Isles, it now includes 22 countries. These countries represent 14 administrative regions based on language and culture. Amid rampant secularized outlook in the continent, TED is rich with values. Adventist institutions keep influencing and witnessing in many communities. Fascinating missionary stories are teeming in the division. Let us get to know some of them. A compelling story of church growth in the islands
In 1893, a Norwegian missionary brought the Adventist faith to the Faroe Islands. But, it is only in 1915 that baptism occurred. From then on, baptized members kept increasing. They named their first church Bethel. They became witnesses to their neighbors. Imagine how Adventist fishers from the Faroes introduced their faith in Greenland. And that happened before Greenland opened its doors to Christianity! Wondering how? Through literature. Written works have always been an important tool in spreading the Message. Read more here:

In the Faroe Islands, colporteurs sowed the seeds. A young man was one of them. His fiancee broke their engagement when he accepted the Advent message. Though prone to seasickness, he defied the rough seas. Then he visited every island and shared his books in every home. He befriended the people, and even slept, and ate at their homes. His bestselling books are the children's books, 'Bedtime Stories', and 'My Bible Friends.' He stayed in the Islands for 45 years. By God's grace, he won and opened doors and hearts everywhere.
