Voices of Faith and Vision: Adventist Missionaries Who Made History

Faith does not remove risk--it awakens courage.

• A man is dragged from a pulpit and never seen again.
• A young bride kneels beside her husband, who is still breathing despite the spear buried in his chest.
• A woman boards a ship, knowing she may never reach the land God called her to.
• A pastor signs nothing, recants nothing, and vanishes behind prison walls.

For many, there were no safe paths. No lifelines. Only impossible choices seized in the split second when conviction outweighed the lure of safety. From the Ottoman Empire to Nazi prisons, from jungle hospitals to labor camps and hidden graves, these pages follow Adventist missionaries at the moment everything fractures—the instant obedience collides with fear and faith becomes a crime. This is not inspiration wrapped in comfort; some stories end in silence. Others spark movements that still echo today. Every page leaves you at the crossroads, asking, What will I do if my calling demands everything and strips me down to nothing but faith?
