Larry R. Evans is an Assistant to the President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and the head of Adventist Possibility Ministries. He has a strong affinity to the northwest, where the family lived on a farm in a place called Moses Lake, Washington, before moving to South Dakota, where his grandfather owned a farm. This upbringing on farmland sparked much of what Larry reflects as the formation of his values today. It was the time spent on the farms when Larry learned the value of a strong work ethic. Larry experienced what some may call a “mixed” spiritual upbringing. His mother was an Adventist, the “spiritual glue” of the family, as he recalls. His father was not a Christian and did not see the value in Christian education to the extent his mother did. His grandfather, however, came into the church originally through a colporteur, and made it possible for Larry to later attend Adventist academies and college after having attended public schooling prior. Larry reflects that those years were the years that challenged and changed him. As a teenager he began to realize he had a growing spiritual hunger. It was a time of change. At the same time, while his admittedly mischievous behaviors became more prominent, he was also becoming aware that something inside was saying it wasn’t what he really wanted.
