Reflections on Adventist Higher Education
Andrews in the News
| Posted on June 20, 2025
In September 1874, a mere month after the opening of Battle Creek College, John Nevins Andrews sailed to Europe as the first officially appointed Adventist overseas missionary. The proximity of the starting of both the college and Andrews’ travels were not a coincidence. On the contrary, the reason we started Battle Creek College in the United States was the same reason J. N. Andrews left to go to Switzerland: mission, the mission of introducing people to Jesus Christ, sharing with them the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14, and . . .
And here, precisely on this point, is where this 150th anniversary celebration galls me.
Please don’t misunderstand! I’m thrilled at the chance to relive the stories of our pioneers and their bravery. But what galls me about this 150-year celebration is that it means we are still here. Jesus has not yet come. We are not yet in heaven. The work is not yet done.
