Abstract
In his presentation, “A Vision for Mission: John Andrews and the Eschatological Imperative,” delivered at the conference “Celebrating the Past, Looking to the Future – A Sesquicentennial Memorial Conference Celebrating 150 Years of Consistent Seventh-day Adventist Missionary Endeavour,” held from October 14-16, 2024, at Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI, Gilbert M. Valentine examines the eschatological motivations underpinning John Andrews’ missionary efforts. Valentine explores how Andrews’ theological perspectives on mission were shaped by his understanding of end-time prophecies and the urgency of Adventist evangelism. By analysing Andrews’ legacy as a pioneering missionary, the presentation provides insights into the enduring influence of eschatological imperatives in shaping the Adventist approach to global mission, offering valuable reflections on the denomination’s historic and contemporary missionary strategies.
