21. Seventh-day Adventists in Romania can use their position as
Europe’s largest community of believers to positively impact the
region, the denomination’s top official said during a recent visit.
Adventist world church President Ted N. C. Wilson called on
church membership in Romania to continue to embrace the
church’s “unifying” mission and support it through promotion of
church initiatives such as The Great Controversy Project.
“God has blessed His people here in Romania. He blessed you
with an enthusiasm for His work [and] He’s blessed you with
love for the Adventist message,” Wilson said.
Wilson spoke to an audience of some 4,000 church members in
Bucharest’s Palace Hall, once a landmark of the former Communist
regime.

32. Girls in the T'boli hillside region typically marry at
ages 12 to 14 and soon begin having children.

who have followed their pastor to the Adventist
faith will push their daughters toward education
instead of early marriage.

38. Seventh-day Adventists need to reprioritize their historic anti-
tobacco message, church health officials say.
At the forefront of the smoking-cessation movement for
decades, the church’s efforts have lately lost their edge, says
Adventist world church Health Ministries Associate Director Dr.
Peter Landless.
The challenge to regroup comes as anti-smoking advocates gear
up for this year’s World No Tobacco Day. The annual emphasis
day, observed May 31 and sponsored by the World Health
Organization (WHO), is meant to educate policymakers and the
public about the tobacco industry’s tactics.
