The Broken Cup
In Sofia, Bulgaria, little Dany entered the Colorful Hope Adventist kindergarten at just 1 year and 9 months old. Her love for Bible stories touched her entire extended family, drawing them closer to Scripture and Adventist teachings. Even after leaving the kindergarten, Dany’s connection remained strong—showing how early spiritual seeds can transform whole families.
Jake’s Prayer Journey
In a closed Middle Eastern country, church planter Jake began a monthly prayer journey—asking God for opportunities to give Bible studies. Within weeks, he met Omar, a secret believer for 15 years longing for baptism, and Wassim, a returning refugee who had found Christ online. Both eagerly joined Jake’s house church and began studying Scripture. Their stories reveal how God prepares seekers long before missionaries meet them.
Mission Begins Young
Myron Iseminger, now serving in Lebanon, never imagined becoming a missionary. But a volunteer year in the Middle East transformed his worldview, ignited a passion for cross‑cultural ministry, and led him into decades of overseas service. From Egypt to Lebanon, Myron discovered that when believers stay open to God’s leading, He directs their path far better than they could themselves.
First Adventist Kindergarten
In Sofia, Bulgaria, a mother’s search for a Christ‑centered kindergarten led Maria to open Colorful Hope—the first Seventh‑day Adventist kindergarten in the country. Through prayer, perseverance, and God’s providence, the school found the perfect location and now serves dozens of children across two campuses.
Meeting the General
In a veiled Middle Eastern country, a couple facing residency denial prayed for God’s intervention. A surprising encounter with a friendly immigration “general” led to immediate approval—and an unexpected friendship that opened new doors for witness. Their story shows how God uses bureaucratic obstacles, delays, and fears to connect His people with the very purpose of their mission.
Elusive Building Permit
In Bulgaria, the Seventh‑day Adventist Church prayed for 25 years to obtain a building permit for the Sofia West church. After repeated delays, unanswered calls, and suspected opposition, a new chief architect finally signed the permit—allowing construction to begin with support from a Thirteenth Sabbath Offering.
The Davis’ Indians - Part 2
After Ovid Elbert Davis died of blackwater fever in 1911 at Mt. Roraima, the Indigenous believers he had taught in British Guiana continued meeting every Sabbath at his grave, singing the hymn he taught them and pleading for another teacher. Fourteen years later, missionaries finally returned, finding more than 130 people still faithful to the commitment Davis recorded before his death. Today, his legacy lives on through the Davis Memorial Hospital in Georgetown and the thriving Adventist communities that grew from his early work.
Making Others Happy
In Sagunto, Spain, siblings Pere and Anna love surprising neighbors with lemons, drawings, and homemade meals. When a friend’s mother left on a mission trip, the children cooked for the family all week—showing how small acts of kindness can share Jesus’ love in everyday life.
Enoc’s Dream, Part 2
In Spain, Enoc and Ingrid prayed for clarity as they wrestled with a call to ministry. A providential early‑morning phone call from Sagunto Adventist College—and a second sign God sent to Ingrid—confirmed His will. Today, their family lives on campus, where Enoc studies theology and both serve in campus leadership.
The Davis’ Indians - Part 1
Ovid Elbert Davis, an early Adventist missionary, traveled nearly 40 days through rivers and dense forest in British Guiana after interior tribes—guided by a “shining being”—requested someone with a “black book” to teach them about God. His work established new mission bases, baptized 187 believers, and planted churches among previously unreached peoples.
