Workshop: THE HISTORY OF THE SDA CHURCH AND IT’S RELEVANCE FOR THE 21. CENTURY (2 units) |

Marc Engelmann |
We are a movement with an incredible story and extensive history. How has God lead us in the past? What inspired and motivated our pioneers to sacrifice everything, including themselves, to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth? What have the past and the origin of our church to do with our identity and mission today? Ellen White once said: "We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history." (LS 196) These questions should motivate us to ponder about the origin and history of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. But they should also motivate us to be part of the Adventist movement here and now. Marc Engelmann is a Pastor in the church district of Nürnberg, Germany. He is married to his lovely wife Wendy. He loves to work with young people encouraging them to live a life with Jesus - discovering new perspectives of life and unfolding dreams that God wants to dream with the Adventist Youth. He loves history, especially the history of our church. |
