Summary
What if a shattered childhood in secular Seattle, followed by an unwilling move to 120-degree Saudi Arabia, could forge one of the most mission-driven leaders in the Adventist Church today? In this heartfelt episode, Shawn Boonstra sits down with General Conference Secretary Rick McEdward. From culture shock in a military compound, to a powerful call into ministry, to serving in the Middle East and now helping steer global mission, Rick’s journey reveals how God turns ordinary lives into extraordinary witnesses. Hear inspiring stories of faithfulness, the vision for One Voice 2027, and practical ways every member can join the work of reaching eight billion people. You won’t want to miss this encouraging conversation—tune in now and let it stir your own calling!
