Russian media are noting a Seventh-day Adventist-run outreach effort for its strong family-oriented message. The meetings, broadcast from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia beginning March 14 and available on the church's Hope Channel and a number of satellite stations across Europe and Asia, correspond with the country's Year of the Family. President of the church's Euro-Asia region, Artur Stele, and Shepherdess International director for Russia, Galina Stele, delivered the nightly messages, which local church leaders say have already sparked feedback via email, text message and phone calls from nearly 100 cities in Turkmenistan, the Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Russia. Church officials also say the six months of Bible studies and 40-day prayer marathon leading up to the meetings mean those attending are better prepared to consider accepting the Adventist message of hope.
