Adventist News Network has added two new languages to its weekly e-mail news bulletin service. Starting this week, subscribers to Adventist News Network’s free news service will be able to receive bulletins in French and Portuguese, as well as the current English and Spanish editions.

“This is an important step for Adventist News Network,” says Bettina Krause, ANN’s news director. “We serve an active, growing, and diverse 12-million member church family around the world. Our goal is to make Adventist news and information as accessible as possible, both to church members and to the general public.”

Established in 1994, Adventist News Network is the international news agency of the Adventist Church. It is located at the world church headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, United States, and draws on an international network of correspondents to bring together its weekly news bulletins. Each bulletin reports on current news and events from each of the church’s 12 world divisions, as well as the decisions and activities of the Church’s General Conference leadership. There are currently some 20,000 Adventist News Network subscribers in more than 140 countries. To read ANN online or subscribe to the ANN News Bulletin, go to www.adventist.org.
