Dear Friends,
March has been a month of historic milestones, divine appointments, and united forward movement for the mission of Streams of Light International. I write to you with deep gratitude and an ever-deepening conviction that God is leading this work—and He is inviting each one of us to press forward with boldness and unwavering faith.
A New Chapter Begins — SOLTI is Launched!
At the start of this month, we witnessed the miraculous launch of the Streams of Light Training Institute (SOLTI), an institute dedicated to training leaders to reach cities worldwide with the three angels’ messages through comprehensive literature evangelism in collaboration with local churches. Ten consecrated students and a team of Spirit-filled staff arrived on campus, eager to participate in this unique training designed to prepare self-supporting missionaries to impact large cities for such a time as this. The dedication weekend, held the first weekend in March, was truly unforgettable. Supporters and friends of this ministry gathered from across the country to witness and celebrate this historic beginning. We thank God for the powerful message and prayer of dedication given by the Michigan Conference President, Jim Micheff. It was a solemn moment, and we sensed the presence of God in a special way.
Mission with Christ Brings Unity in Christ — Chattanooga, TN
Mid-March brought yet another powerful expression of God’s leading—our Chattanooga Mission Trip, where over 200 volunteers joined hands with many local churches and supporting ministries to personally deliver more than 48,500 copies of The Great Controversy in just four days. We praise God for the hundreds of Bible study contacts that were gathered. Special thanks to our mission-minded partners: Laurelbrook Academy, Harbert Hills Academy, Wildwood Institute, Uchee Pines, Red River Outpost, local churches and our very own Streams of Light Training Institute students, who stepped into leadership roles with zeal. Two additional and integral partners were ASI Southern Union and the Georgia Cumberland Conference, whose support, along with a large contribution from a local donor, enabled this mission to come together. This mission is living proof: when we unite in Christ for His mission, the impossible becomes reality.
The Work Expands — Preparation for Europe
Looking ahead, we are prayerfully preparing for and invite you to consider participating in one or all three upcoming mission trips in Europe:
- Liechtenstein, June 10-14, 2025 – Reaching a nation where the Three Angels’ Messages are scarcely known, in partnership with the Swiss Union.
- Stuttgart, Germany, June 17-21, 2025 – A strategic outreach where thousands will be engaged with literature and health outreach, in partnership with the Baden-Wuerttemberg Conference.
- Birmingham, UK, June 24-28, 2025 – Partnering with 18+ local churches and ministries for a large-scale book distribution effort.
In preparation, I will be traveling across Europe in May to visit supporting ministries, churches, and institutions—recruiting volunteers, mission partners, and prospective students for SOLTI 2026. We’re recruiting churches and institutions in Europe to embrace the vision of placing “One Book in Every Home in North America and Europe by 2030.”
Grand Rapids: A Summer of Impact
In addition to the missions happening in Europe, we invite you to be part of something powerful in Grand Rapids, Michigan this July 6–12. SOLTI students will lead a full-scale evangelistic mission to personally deliver 30,000 copies of The Great Controversy throughout the city. In partnership with Messiah’s Mansion, this outreach will not only sow the seeds of truth but create rich spiritual conversations through immersive, Christ-centered experiences. Bible study interests gathered during the mission will be personally followed up by our students and local church teams—ensuring long-term fruit and deep discipleship.
Let’s Finish the Work — While the Door is Open
Friends, now is the time. As we watch the signs of Christ’s return intensify, we cannot afford to be distracted or idle. We must work while it is day. The book The Great Controversy remains one of the most powerful tools available for sharing the Three Angels’ Messages. I urge you—take advantage of these open doors. Share this book in your neighborhood. Support the missions. Pray fervently. Volunteer boldly. The Lord is moving—and we must move with Him.
Let us hasten His coming with every effort, every dollar, and every act of faithful witness. The time is short and this movement is growing.
With urgency and hope,
Oleg Lotca
President, Streams of Light International
