Streams Of Light International

What Streams Of Light International does

Streams of Light International is a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious organization founded in 2020 and headquartered in Pullman, Michigan, focused on Seventh-day Adventist literature evangelism and missionary training. The organization's core offering is the distribution of "The Great Controversy" by Ellen G. White, a printed religious publication augmented with embedded QR codes that link to digital, audio, and video content within each chapter. Distribution occurs primarily through large-scale mission trips mobilizing 30-200+ volunteers across North America and Europe, church training programs covering 400+ churches, and the Light Squads community membership program ($99/month subscription) that organizes ongoing volunteer teams. Documented outcomes include 57,000 homes reached in Atlanta, 150,000+ packets distributed in Dallas, and 18,000 books distributed in Zaragoza, generating hundreds of Bible study interests per event.

The organization operates Streams of Light Training Institute (SOLTI) as its educational platform, offering a 10-month Comprehensive Evangelism Course, a Trades/Vocation Program (construction, electrical, plumbing, welding, HVAC), and the English for Mission (ESL) program launched in March 2026 for international missionary preparation. Supporting product lines include the Mission Onward devotional book, the Health Magazine companion publication, and The Final Call quarterly periodical launched in May 2026. Streams of Light holds two physical campuses (Oak Haven in Pullman, MI and Bass Campus in Lumberton, MS) acquired in 2024 and 2025 respectively, with partnership discussions underway for a Prague-based European training chapter.

Revenue derives from a diversified mix of donations and charitable contributions (primary), Light Squad monthly subscriptions, training program tuition and scholarships, book and literature sales (including pallet packages of 3,000 books at $4,200), and mission trip registration fees ($150-$200 per participant). The organization partners strategically with Adventist conferences, unions, and ministries including Amazing Facts, It Is Written, ASI Southern Union, and Impact Europe to coordinate conference-wide distribution campaigns. Leadership includes President Oleg Lotca and a team of VPs overseeing Operations, Ministries, and Administration, alongside regional directors for Europe and campus operations.
