The Publishing Department report presented at the annual Spring Meeting utilized a video to highlight the strength of literature evangelism worldwide.
Almir Marroni, Publishing Department director at the General Conference, shared that the story of two evangelists in the video symbolizes the work being done in door-to-door ministries.
The first story focused on a woman named Elena in Russia, whom God pushed to spread the good news of Jesus to the entertainment elites of her city. She regularly stands outside the entrances and exits of stages to distribute copies of Adventist pioneer Ellen White’s The Great Controversy and The Desire of Ages. According to the video report, she has distributed over 250 books to actors, artists, and influencers in Russia.
Story two crossed the border into Ukraine, highlighting the story of Irena. On April 22, 2022, two months after the Russian invasion began, she walked to her city's city hall to speak with the Mayor. There, she suggested the book could give a unique perspective to the war. Through the work of God, the mayor asked Irena to bring 517 copies of The Great Controversy to city hall to be distributed to their employees.
The presentation concluded with the following information:
There are 40,000 literature evangelists worldwide.
