The Vision

The Vision

Seventh-day Adventists in Europe traditionally sent out thousands missionaries to Africa, Asia and South America, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. But did you know that Europe was itself the very first mission field for pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist Movement? From the beginnings of a church born in the context of 19th century America, those pioneers soon recognized the need to tell the whole world that Jesus Christ is coming again. The Vision, a series of 10 docu-movies, tells that fascinating story, sharing the hardships, the joys and vision of a church committed to reach the world. With a skillful inter-twining of historical reconstruction, expert interviews and careful explanations, The Vision will help you to understand the presence of the Seventh-day Adventists in Europe and their missionary purpose. Join us on the journey.
