In 2013—84 years after H.M.S. Richards Sr. founded the Voice of Prophecy (VOP)—the ministry stood at a crossroads. Once over 100 staff members strong, it had dwindled to just 13 after years of confusion and administrative challenges. The team didn’t know what would happen next. But God did.

The Voice of Prophecy (VOP), the longest-running media ministry in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, announced Thursday that Shawn Boonstra, speaker/director of the ministry since 2013, has accepted the invitation of the Adventist Review to serve as an associate editor. He will be leaving the Loveland, Colorado-based ministry sometime this summer.

Ken Norton, president of the Montana Conference, has accepted the Voice of Prophecy’s invitation to serve as the Discover Bible School director. He will begin his service at the ministry on March 2.

Norton will replace Bill Payne, who recently became the director for Sabbath School and Personal Ministries at the North American Division.

Surrounded on three sides by snow-capped mountains, more than 300 pastors, lay leaders, and ministry Sponsors gathered this past November in Estes Park, Colorado, to fellowship, worship, and train together.
