French-language Satellite Event Breaks New Ground . Some 450 people are attending the nightly programs at the live uplink site on the grounds of the Adventist Church's university at Collonges, France, close to the border of Geneva, Switzerland. But due to massive interest, the satellite transmissions are now being viewed, with translation as necessary, in Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Cameroon, Rwanda, Mozambique, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Argentina, Guadaloupe, and some French-speaking churches in the eastern United States.
Organizers say that the program has brought wide positive reaction, especially from young people.
The program, which finishes on December 1, is an outreach initiative of the Adventist Church leadership in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, and the Euro-African region.
