In Romania, 11‑year‑old Clara prayed for a native English‑speaking teacher—and God impressed Andreea in Australia to answer the call.

In Kenya, Global Mission pioneer Leenus began a new Adventist congregation in a former bar—an unlikely setting that villagers initially rejected. After registering 360 people for Bible studies, baptizing 15, and planting a new church where no Adventist presence existed, Leenus watched God transform skepticism into growth. Today, a new church building stands as a testimony to God’s power and the perseverance of mission work in unreached communities.

“Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people,” wrote Ellen G. White. This wholistic approach remains the foundation of effective mission. Jesus mingled with people, showed them kindness, ministered to their needs, gained their confidence, and then invited them to follow Him. Today, Global Mission follows this model, ensuring mission work meets both physical and spiritual needs.
