WINDOW INTO EURO-ASIA The Euro-Asia Division spans 11 time zones and stretches from the Arctic Circle to the predominantly Muslim nations in the south. The people in this division were part of the Soviet Union, which for years restricted their freedom, especially freedom of religion. When Communism fell, the people rejoiced in the hope of new freedom and greater prosperity. But for most of the people living in Euro-Asia, the dream never became a reality, and they struggle to meet their basic needs today as they did 20 years ago. The countries of the Euro-Asia Division are home to more than 279 million people, of which 140,000 are Seventh-day Adventists. That’s about one out of every 2,000 people.
