Dear Friends,
Once again, I am humbled and amazed as I reflect on what God has accomplished over the past two months. In previous years, Streams of Light would typically conduct two or three mission trips annually. But 2026 has been different. We are witnessing God move in remarkable ways, opening doors wider and faster than ever before. In the month of April alone, we participated in three significant mission initiatives.
Zaragoza, Spain | March 29 – April 5
Our first mission trip took place in Zaragoza, Spain, where 50–60 missionaries participated throughout the week, with more than 100 people joining us on Sabbath. Once again, the Lord demonstrated that His methods work everywhere.
Through the enthusiastic and sacrificial efforts of the missionaries, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, more than 18,000 Packets of Hope* were distributed and over 200 individuals signed up for Bible studies. We witnessed firsthand how God is preparing hearts across Europe.
This mission trip has sparked renewed interest in outreach throughout Spain and other parts of Western Europe. In fact, as a direct result of the Zaragoza initiative, Streams of Light is organizing another mission trip to the island of Ibiza, Spain, in just a few weeks.
Atlanta, Georgia | April 1–8
For the first time in Streams of Light history, we conducted two simultaneous mission trips.
While part of our team was serving in Spain, another team helped organize a major outreach effort in Atlanta, Georgia. More than 200 volunteers participated, distributing over 50,000 Packets of Hope and collecting more than 700 Bible study interests.
This mission trip was organized in partnership with the Georgia-Cumberland Conference, ASI Southern Union, and several supporting ministries. It was a tremendous blessing to see multiple organizations united in purpose, working together to advance God’s mission. The spirit of cooperation and dedication among the volunteers was truly inspiring.
Dallas, Texas | April 19–26
Our third major outreach initiative took place in Dallas, Texas.
Throughout the week, 30–50 missionaries participated in training and outreach activities. On Sabbath, more than 70 churches joined the effort by distributing literature throughout their communities. As a result of this united endeavor, over 150,000 Packets of Hope were distributed and more than 250 Bible study interests were gathered.
Once again, we were reminded that when God’s people unite around His mission, He is able to accomplish far more than we could ever imagine.
The Bible Conference | May 15–24, 2026
In May, Streams of Light partnered with the Gulf States Conference to host The Bible Conference, a re-envisioned camp meeting experience.
Our goal was simple: to carefully study the inspired counsel regarding camp meetings and align the event as closely as possible with the principles found in the Spirit of Prophecy.
The conference was divided into two phases. During the first five days, church members received practical training in comprehensive evangelism and outreach, with afternoon sessions focused on equipping believers for mission.
The final four days featured seminars designed specifically for both Adventist and non-Adventist attendees. Topics included Bible Marking, Why Does God Allow Suffering?, Christian Nationalism, Hydrotherapy, Herbal Remedies, Introduction to Bible Prophecy, and many others. Simultaneously, community guests were invited to attend an evangelistic series presented by Pastor John Bradshaw.
Each day began at 5:00 a.m. with two hours dedicated to prayer and Bible study. These early morning sessions became some of the most meaningful moments of the conference as participants sought the Lord together.
God accomplished a marvelous work through this event. We had non-Adventist guests travel from as far away as Houston and Chicago to attend. Erica Helm, of Houston, Texas, saw one of our ads for The Bible Conference on Facebook and decided to attend. She invited her friend from Chicago, Renée Robinson, to join her. The Lord opened the door financially for both women to attend, and on the last Sabbath of the conference, Erica was one of three who shared how The Bible Conference had been a blessing to them. You can listen to what they share on YouTube, starting at the 32-minute mark of the video.
Another who shared was Ro, a mother from Lumberton, Mississippi, who received a knock on her door by one of our volunteers during afternoon outreach. Ro had been praying for guidance, and just several days later, she received a packet of hope and an invitation to sign up for Bible studies. Ro told us she believed that was the answer to her prayers. Ro was also invited to The Bible Conference, and while her children enjoyed the programs for their age groups, their mother was able to participate in the meetings and seminars.
The third individual who shared on Sabbath morning was Omar, a young man from Atlanta, Georgia, who one of our Streams of Light Training Institute students met during the Atlanta Mission Trip. Omar had initially refused Bible studies, but several days later drove all the way to the Georgia-Cumberland Conference office to inquire about the mission trip. Omar later joined our volunteers at the host church. In addition to enjoying a meal and hearing field testimonies from our volunteers, Omar also began Bible studies, which he has continued.
These are just three of many stories to share. The fellowship, spiritual growth, and mission focus created an atmosphere that deeply impacted both church members and community guests alike.
Looking Forward
As we reflect on these past two months, our hearts are filled with gratitude. Across Spain, Georgia, Texas, and Mississippi, we have seen evidence that God is still calling people, preparing hearts, and empowering ordinary believers to do extraordinary things for His kingdom.
The harvest truly is plentiful. Every Bible study interest, every home visited, every conversation, and every Packet of Hope distributed represents a soul for whom Christ died. While the numbers are encouraging, what excites us most is knowing that lives are being transformed and that God is raising up men and women who are willing to answer His call.
Thank you for your prayers, your support, and your partnership in this mission. Everything that has been accomplished is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and to the willingness of His people to step forward in faith.
As we move into the coming months, please continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will lead, guide, and empower every outreach effort. We believe the Lord is preparing His church for a greater work than we have yet seen, and we are grateful to be laborers together with Him.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts,” — Zechariah 4:6.
