Just One Friend

Kathy prayed for just one true friend. But in Finland, God had something much bigger in store for her. In this Children’s Mission story, we meet Kathy, a young woman from Slovakia who moved to Helsinki, Finland, for a university internship. When COVID restrictions closed the borders, she could not return home. Far from her family and surrounded by the long, dark Finnish winter, Kathy felt deeply lonely. Then she discovered OIKOS House, a small group where young adults gathered to read the Bible, sing, pray, eat, and spend time together. One night, Kathy whispered a simple prayer: “God, please give me one true friend.” This beautiful mission story reminds children and families about friendship, kindness, Christian community, and showing the love of Jesus to people who feel alone.

Week 5 -  His Baptism and Temptations

Week 5 -  His Baptism and Temptations

Jesus began His public ministry not with power or applause, but with baptism, wilderness, and temptation. At the Jordan, His identity as God’s beloved Son was affirmed; in the desert, that identity was tested. Through both experiences, Jesus revealed the foundation of His movement: solidarity instead of status, obedience instead of shortcuts, and Spirit-led trust instead of control.

Church Planting

Expanding the Reach of Faith

The Seventh-day Adventist Church continues to grow because of its commitment to church planting—establishing new groups of believers in unentered areas and among new people groups. The church will only grow as long as we keep planting new congregations.

Christ's Method

Following the Master’s Example

“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.

Unreached People

Bringing Light to Every Corner

Millions of people have never heard the name of Jesus and live in communities with no Adventist presence. These include large urban centers, remote villages, and cultural or religious groups unfamiliar with Christianity. Global Mission prioritizes these groups by sending pioneers, establishing Urban Centers of Influence, and using contextualized ministry to share the gospel in a way that resonates with the local culture.
