Luatu is an Adventist young man from Myanmar. When war broke out in his country, he took his family and fled, finding refuge in the neighboring country of Thailand. But he felt a deep love and concern for the people he’d left behind in war-torn Myanmar. What could he do to help them? Luatu decided to take the AWR SULADS training course, which is a mission initiative supported by AWR and the Adventist Church. It’s about reaching people in remote communities and in difficult circumstances and teaching them life skills. This includes sustainable farming, health practices, and above all, spiritual guidance and biblical instruction. Luatu decided to open his humble home to 22 refugee children from Myanmar. Because of the instability of war, they’re unable to receive an education in their country, so every week they travel to Luatu’s home where they are properly fed and nurtured, are taught life skills, and receive an education. But above all, they learn about their Friend Jesus. Watch this video and be inspired by the transformational power of love. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey

Faith often leads to unexpected opportunities. For a young teen, her decision to honor the Sabbath became a testimony to her classmates and professors. After attending the Christ for Europe series, she fulfilled her dream of being baptized at youth camp. Similarly, Yuri, a 31-year-old from Ukraine, was led to a life-changing decision through an encounter with a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, which sparked his journey into Bible studies and baptism. Witness how God leads people of all ages to stand firm and walk in truth.
