Native Americans are a very spiritual people. A foundational spiritual belief among Native American traditionalists and post-traditionalists is that there is One Creator, whom they call the “Great Spirit” and the “Great Mystery.” Interestingly, the Apostle Paul, in his letters to the early church, used the word “mystery” 17 times,…

Territorial Waters

“Get out of the boat! Quick!” I yelled, my voice cutting through the semi-humid air as a massive hippo lunged toward our heavily laden canoe. It had begun as a picturesque Sabbath on the river. The sun was bright, and colorful birds flitted across the water’s surface as we embarked…

What is God Like?

Mariam never accepted the God she was taught to believe in. From a very young age, she declared that the God her parents taught about was nothing like the God she felt. Her God, she said, was loving. Over the years, she read extensively any spiritual writings she could get…

I have not worn a proper winter jacket in nearly two years. Not because I lost it, and certainly not because I forgot how cold it can get—winter has simply never caught up with us. In the spring of 2025, we arrived in the U.S. for our training. As it…

Beneath the tension often lies a deeper poverty—not of resources, but of spirit—a heart that has learned to guard itself, unsure if there will be enough.…

Why did you come to Croatia?” While we focus on language learning, God continues to use us where He can. Each time we meet someone new, and they ask why we came to this country, it is an opportunity to share our testimony. From that point, it is amazing what…

Refocusing for the Frontier

From the beginning, Adventist Frontier Missions has existed for one purpose—to establish indigenous Seventh-day Adventist church-planting movements among unreached people groups. Today, we are carefully evaluating everything we do through that lens by walking through a season of intentional evaluation, prayer and strategic adjustment. We are asking a simple but…

God Put Out a House Fire

Turning around to look back at her house before getting into her canoe, Esther’s breath caught in her throat. It was just after dark, Sabbath evening. Esther could see the flames flicker through the cracks between the palm frond ribs that made up the walls of her home, a construction…
