If you’ve ever been inspired by a story on the Adventist Mission DVD, you’ve witnessed the creative talents of our former video producer Dan Weber and our current video producers, Ricky Oliveras and Earley Simon.

We asked Ricky and Earley to pick 10 video stories that were popular with our viewers.

1| The Little Church Planter—Brazil (3:49)

Ten-year-old Vitoria stole people’s hearts as they watched her brave the Amazon River in a small canoe to share her faith with her young friends. Vitoria says she uses a canoe because she’s too small to handle a bigger boat, but she’s still able to pick up friends and bring them to her Bible study group.

2| A Cowboy’s Tale—Argentina (2:36)

In northwest Argentina, Manuel Ledesma has been working and living on the same farm for 87 years. He and his wife started a small church on their property with 20 members. Each week, Manuel and his grandson visit the church to prepare it for Sabbath.

3| Another Communion—China (4:47)

In a leper colony in China, Adventist volunteers are literally touching the lives of people. Their hands-on approach is giving the villagers a glimpse into what it means to love like Jesus.
