Adventist Wordwide
Seventh-day Adventists have taken to heart the gospel commission found in Matthew 28 to go and teach all nations and baptize them. As a result the Seventh-day Adventist church has grown into a worldwide organization with a presence in more than 200 countries. This desire to share the gospel is born out of genuine Christian love for our fellow human beings and the desire to share the hope that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The key component of Global Mission is the pioneer program. Global Mission pioneers are Adventist lay people who:
- Volunteer at least a year to establish a new congregation
- Live and work within their own culture
- Establish new groups of believers
- Understand the culture
- Speak the local language
- Help people with physical and spiritual needs
- Receive a small stipend and cost far less than overseas missionaries
Today, tens of thousands of Global Mission Pioneers are working around the world, leading the way in taking the name of Jesus to people--often in extremely challenging areas.
