ANR 20 April 2005 - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Around 300 Adventists gathered in the main auditorium of the Ramses Square Seventh-day Adventist Church for an all-day, 'Upper Room' experience. The themes were unity, revival, refocus and interpersonal relationships. It was a day of preaching, fellowship and prayer. The motto "Looking Upward, Outward and Forward" summed up the focus of the day. During the church service Pastor Kjell Aune, president of the Adventist Church in Egypt, preached about what happened in the Upper Room in Jerusalem during the ten days from the ascension to Pentecost. Jesus had promised his followers the Holy Spirit, growth and miracles but at the time of the ascension they were not ready. By the Day of Pentecost, ten days later, they were ready and in that 'Upper Room' experience we find the secret to a happy, growing church. Following lunch Pastor Aune presented the Biblical counsels for interpersonal relationships. 'How are we to behave and treat each other'? 'What kind of church does God want'? Young people participated in these programmes in various ways. The afternoon and early evening programmes were dedicated to testimonies, prayer and visioning. Everybody expressed positive comments about the success of the day, and many requested that this become an annual event. We all look forward and hope that this will mark the beginning of a new era for the Adventist Church in Egypt. [ANR Staff/ANR] EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TO TALK WITH WORLD CHURCH PRESIDENT DARMSTADT, GERMANY [ANR] ? All topics will be open for discussion when Pastor Jan Paulsen, Seventh-day Adventist world church president, meets with Adventist students from more than 10 European countries on 26 April in Darmstadt, Germany. "Let's Talk ? Europe," to be broadcast live by satellite across Europe, will be the third in a series of unscripted, unedited conversations between young people and their church leader. It will be the first time the programme is held outside the United States. For Pastor Paulsen, the one-hour broadcast provides a unique way for him to hear directly from young people. "There must be a more intentional dialogue with young people, and a greater recognition of the contribution that they can and do make within the church," he says. "I look forward to hearing more from young people; ideas, opinions, questions." The programme, which will be re-broadcast globally, is aimed at a specific demographic; the majority of participants will be Adventist students who are attending secular universities and colleges. The most recent broadcast, held in September 2004 featured students attending Andrews University, an Adventist institution in Berrien Springs, Michigan, while the first "Let's Talk" telecast from Simi Valley, California, in the autumn of 2003, included teenage members of the church. Let's Talk - Europe will air on the Hope Channel.

Sweden?s traditional exports of iron ore and wood has been replaced by IT and high tech solutions. The rapid development of IT and Sweden?s leading position in wireless communication is partly due to a small population in a large country. Its population of 8.8 million people is spread out over 450,000 km2. Sweden ranks in the worlds top three for mobile phone and internet usage and cable/satellite television. It is a post modernist country where the majority of the population are non religious. The church faces the task of communicating the gospel of salvation to a nation that feels it has no need of Christ. Only the Holy Spirit of God can solve the problem. But he uses instruments of which technology is one. This is a medium that we can use to make contact with people. Today the church has a web site with a Cyber pastor where people can send in their questions about God; what Seventh-day Adventists believe, etc. There are plans for developing the site to enable people to download Bible studies, order CD?s and have live web-casts. We are working to develop television/video programs that members can use in their homes. Prayer Requests: 1. The efforts to maximize the benefits of new technology 2. The plans for TV ministry [Audrey Andersson/ANR] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANR Staff: Miroslav Pujic, news director, Beverly Coysten, editor ANR, 119 St Peter's Street, St Albans, Herts, AL1 3EY, England E-mail: anr@ted-adventist.org Website: www.ted-adventist.org ANR (Adventist News Review) is a news and information bulletin issued by the communication department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Trans-European Division.
