Starting in 1902, the Seventh-day Adventist Church committed to mission to China in a substantial way, sending large numbers of missionaries and committing sizeable funds to China. This episode considers some of the early missionaries, the strategies the church used, and why the early history of mission in China is worth remembering today.

The Great Controversy Chapter 13 Part 2: The Reformation in the Netherlands

– This week, Pastor Ted Wilson continues the discussion on chapter thirteen of The Great Controversy, “The Netherlands and Scandinavia,” in which Hans Tausen converts to Lutheranism and has a great effect on the people of Denmark. –

The New Testament, translated into the Danish language, was circulated widely, and before long, the entire country of Denmark declared its acceptance of the reformed faith. Two leaders of the Swedish Reformation, Olaf and Laurentius Petri, the sons of a blacksmith, studied under Luther and Melanchthon, and these brothers were eager to teach the truths they had learned.

The king of Sweden fully accepted the Protestant faith, and not long afterward, the national assembly declared in its favor, and children began reading the Bible in schools.
