MISSIONARY ORIENTATION PLAN

Experience Korea through the eyes of the former Advent World Editor William G. Johnson "I have been privileged to roam the world and encounter many cultures, but this is by far the kindest and most courteous one I have experienced. From the exquisitely beautiful traditional women's dress, to the marvelous level of music performance, to the Korean meal with its bite-sized offerings of individually wrapped masterpieces in red, white, yellow, and green, this land displays grace at every turn."

Sumary of presentation:

Since 1969, SDA Language School (SDALS—former name was SDA Language Institute), operates under the supervision of the Korean Union Conference, the Northern Asia-Pacific Division and the General Conference.

SDLIS is well known in South Korean society as one of the leading language Schools in Korea. We have gained the respect of the people in Korea because of the dedication, honesty and outstanding qualifications of our mission-minded native English speaking teachers who carry out our systematic class procedures and implement effective methods of teaching but most of all sharing the gospel of Jesus.

Today, we have 40 branches (38 in South Korea, 1 in the Philippines, 1 in Mongolia) with over 55,000-60000 students enrolling each term. We baptize 1200 souls a year. We need at least 350 missionaries each year to meet the need, but we have about 200 missionaries. Because we do not have enough teachers, so many Koreans are just waiting for opening.

Pastor Japhet De Oliveira will serve in the position of chaplain for missions as well as assistant director for the Center for Youth Evangelism.

De Oliveira comes to Andrews from England where he has served as Youth Director for the South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists since 2003. He is an energetic and innovative leader with a passion for young people. During his time as youth director and as a youth pastor for the Stanborough Park Church in Watford, England, De Oliveira began multiple youth ministry initiatives. Just a sampling of his work includes projects such as London Live, a new 20/30-something church led by young adults in the city of London; HUB, a monthly journal for youth ministry leaders across England; and the new Diploma in Youth Leadership program at Newbold College in Binfield, England.

De Oliveira earned his BA in theology and an MA in Religion with a certificate in church growth from Andrews University on the Newbold College campus.

"If I can be part of a team that makes a difference to both those connected with and searching for God, I will be a satisfied man," says De Oliveira about his new role at Andrews. "At the end of the day when I look back on my life, I want to know that I served well, played hard, that my boys and wife are proud of me and that God inspired my leadership. Honestly, what more is there?"

De Oliveira will join the Andrews community with his wife, Becky, and their two young boys.
