“We are not doing the will of God if we sit in quietude, doing nothing to preserve liberty of conscience.”
Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, 713.4
“We have ever been ready to suffer, as our martyrologies will prove, but we are not ready to accept any help from the State, to prostitute the purity of the Bride of Christ to any alliance with the government, and we will never make the Church, although the Queen, the despot over the consciences of men.”

Dr. Conrad Vine
Born into a pastoral family in the United Kingdom, Dr. Conrad Vine was raised alongside his twin brother and two sisters, moving frequently as part of his family’s ministry journey. After earning a degree in Business Management in 1995, Conrad began his career in the UK public healthcare system. In 1996, he responded to God’s call and joined ADRA, initially serving in Azerbaijan. His time with ADRA spanned until 2002, during which he held various international roles across multiple countries. He pursued seminary training at Newbold College from 2002 to 2004. Upon completing his studies, Conrad and his wife Luda began their pastoral ministry in London, UK. They later served in the Middle East Union, followed by four years of pastoral ministry in Minnesota. In response to a new calling, Pastor Vine accepted the role of President of Adventist Frontier Missions, Inc., a position he faithfully held through March 2025. Conrad and Luda were married in December 1999 and view their marriage as a cherished gift from a loving Heavenly Father. Together, they are the proud parents of two children.Scott Ritsema
