There is a lot to discover about Adventist missionaries. This time, we will talk about the Inter-European Division. This place was the area of the denomination’s first overseas mission. ESDA and the European Division
A wide range of individuals from the European Division helped in the making of the online Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists. Up to this time, they are in the process of sharing Christian stories that are not well known to everyone. Indeed, ESDA is a game-changer. It has authors from different ethnicities and various regions. Its contents are increasing in number. The real missionaries
When one looks closely at the articles, the bottom line is that everyone is a missionary. Christian missionaries are not only those who cross the seas and countries. This is what scholars found out in their historiography. (Historiography is the study of the methods of historians in developing history.) Tales of the amphibian missionaries
In this episode, Dr. Stefan Höschele and Dr. Chigemezi Wogu share some of the moving and surprising tales like Who are the amphibian missionaries? Why did an 18-year old man leave the comforts of his home, choose to be a stranger, and translate the Old Testament? Who was the first president of the German Adventist mission? Yes, ESDA offers many touching mission stories. Sadly, some have died in the fields. Others lost loved ones along the way. Many of them have sacrificed their lives. All these shaped the history of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Know their life stories here: https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/ Like those mission workers, ESDA is crossing cultures and connecting cultures. Learn more from this episode on “Recognizing The Astounding Contributions Of Our Adventist Missionaries,” hosted by the editors of ESDA, Dr. David Trim, and Dr. Dragoslava Santrac as they interview Dr. Stefan Höschele, editor of Inter-European Division and Dr. Chigemezi Wogu, research assistant of Inter-European Division.

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18.
Christ’s love in the heart, revealing through the life its wondrous power—this is the greatest miracle that can be performed before a fallen, quarreling world. Let us try to work this miracle, not in our own power, but in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose we are and whom we serve. Let us put on Christ, and the miracle-working power of His grace will be so plainly revealed in the transformation of character that the world will be convinced that God has sent His Son into the world to make men as angels in character and life.
Those who truly believe in Christ sit together with Him in heavenly places. Let us accept the badge of Christianity. This is not an outward sign, not the wearing of a cross or a crown, but it is something that reveals the union of man with God. Let us “put off the old man with his deeds; and … put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him” (Colossians 3:9, 10). The beauty of holiness is revealed as Christians draw near together, blending in Christlike love.
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:19-25).
There is only one true religion, only one way to heaven; only one light to illuminate the way as the pilgrims press on. As we follow on to know the Lord, we shall acknowledge at every step that Christ is the Light of the world, that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and we shall find that the path that He bids us follow is “as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18)….
The Lord is good and greatly to be praised…. How blest, how doubly blest, is the home in which father, mother, and children are consecrated to the service of Christ.—Letter 126, August 7, 1902, to an evangelist in New York City.
