Michael Lewis
Michael Lewis serves as an Associate Director for the North American Division Evangelism Institute. He teaches Evangelism and Church Planting, coordinates field schools for students, and trains and coaches pastors around the NAD in church planting, evangelism, church revitalisation, and community development.
Pastor Lewis also served as the Evangelism and Church Planting Director of the South-Central Conference of SDA, Nashville, Tennessee. He led numerous reaping series, trained pastors and members in developing evangelistic cycles and discipleship training, and coached and directed pastors in church planting.
His guidance led to hundreds of baptisms, planting two churches, the revitalisation of several others, and the empowerment of many pastors in evangelism.
Daniel Ebenezer
Daniel Ebenezer completed a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, and then felt the call to train myself for ministry. While studying Theology at Spicer University, he found great joy in supporting church plants in the city of Pune and Mumbai, India.
When he accepted a call to Pastoral ministry in the North England Conference, he worked to nurture, equip, and empower the membership towards this personal labour in evangelism. Daniel was involved in planting many churches in North England Conference.
In January 2023, the Lord opened an opportunity for him to serve as director for Personal Ministries and Evangelism. In October 2023, Daniel Ebenezer was elected to serve as Associate Director for Sabbath School & Personal Ministries.

Although an award winning lecturer, Dr. Rhamie delights in introducing people from divers backgrounds to Christ and consequently is involved in training church leadership to this end.
Among his many roles, Dr. Rhamie is the CEO and Lead Executive Consultant of Rockstone Consultancy, a leadership development consultancy committed to the transformative practice of opening up innovative spaces for inclusive performance and growth.
