ADVENT HERALD AMBASSADOR
Introducing: AHA (Para español haga clic aquí)
Who We Are
Advent Herald Ambassador (AHA) is an organised group of international missionary volunteers who are also members of the world-wide Seventh-day Adventist Church.
By God’s grace, we purpose to co-labour with Christ by wisely investing time and personal resources to address the Spiritual,Health and Educational needs of communities across the global mission field.
How We Began
The Lord graciously rallied our team into existence in response to two Mission Trip “Macedonian” calls received from the US State of Ohio, and from Jamaica, both in early December, 2019.
Our Progress
Although answering our initial call to the Ohio mission field has been temporarily interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, God’s grace keeps our heart aflame and our efforts undaunted in His service..
Thankfully, to date, we are prayerfully planning our first international mission trip, whilst actively pursuing official sponsorship by a USA local Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
Our Burden
Constrained by Christ’s loving compassion, we purpose to faithfully herald God’s three final warning messages to a swiftly dying, lost and suffering world. This, we are compelled to do by employing His SDA Health Reform Message as the entering wedge and right arm of His Everlasting Gospel.
