The year 2022 was an exciting one for ANN. Throughout the year, God’s great and marvelous work in His church has been evident. From baptism stories and I Will Go initiatives to business meetings and humanitarian relief efforts, ANN has been honored to report, celebrate, and raise awareness alongside the World Church.
This year was also filled with numerous accomplishments for ANN. The 61st General Conference (GC) Session experienced broader-than-ever media coverage for the first time in Adventist history. Despite pandemic restrictions and a reduced session schedule, ANN was able to broadcast the week-long event live and report on daily business through ANN Video and ANN Late Nite-ish. Nearly 3,800 posts and over a dozen articles allowed the church’s online platforms to reach over 22 million people during GC Session.
Digital communication was critical to the success of the 2022 GC Session, leading ANN to strategically cover all business sessions, worship programming, and special reports in four major languages, allowing for a large portion of the World Church to follow these important meetings in their native languages. ANN continues to produce content in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese for all to enjoy and share.
As the new year approaches, ANN has more encouraging and inspirational content to highlight and will continue to feature important news stories from the church family.
ANN Articles
ANN features many important news stories, keeping the World Church informed about happenings across the globe. In 2023, ANN will begin featuring hundreds of new articles highlighting how GC departments, initiatives, and other Adventist services, organizations, and corporations work to move the mission of the church forward. We will also publish news stories from the church’s 13 divisions and four attached fields, and of course, remarkable baptism and evangelism stories as well.
ANN+
Unfortunately, articles can’t always get to the heart of every news story. Readers are sometimes left with questions.
