PASTOR SHAWN BOONSTRA
Pastor Shawn Boonstra is speaker/director for the Voice of Prophecy ministry. His broadcasts and books have been a source of inspiration around the globe, and over the years, his live events have been presented on every continent except Antarctica.
Each week, he hosts the Voice of Prophecy’s flagship broadcast, Authentic. The program seeks to pursue existential questions, helping people live an authentic human life. He focuses on highlighting the way the Bible addresses the questions that humans have universally wrestled with throughout recorded history.
He also traverses the globe to hold live meetings, including his Revelation Speaks Peace series, which reveals that the Bible’s prophetic positions can be understood because they make perfect sense when you cut through the hype—and that they ultimately point to the hope we find in Christ. He has held this series on every continent.
Shawn is also spearheading the Voice of Prophecy’s effort to provide local churches with resources and training to make their community outreach even more effective. His most ambitious project to date has been Discovering Revelation, which takes the prophecy seminar Shawn has meticulously crafted during his nearly 30 years in ministry and offers it to local churches, complete with custom graphics, scripts, and notes.
In addition, events such as The Serpentine Prophecy, Final Empire, Shadow Empire, A Pale Horse Rides, and The Appearing are approaching Bible prophecy and issues like religious liberty from new angles. And many churches choose to follow up these events with Bible studies through the ministry’s Discover Bible School, which has seen more than 1 million graduates and is the largest Bible school in the Adventist Church.
The ministry’s reach extends worldwide, and current projects include various outreach programs in Myanmar and a rehabilitation home for young girls who have been the victims of human trafficking in India.
Prior to coming to the Voice of Prophecy in 2013, Shawn served as an associate ministerial director at the North American Division, where his role was to inspire, train, and equip pastors and churches for evangelism.
Before this assignment, he served for seven years as speaker/director for It Is Written International Television. In his early pastoral career, he served as speaker/director for It Is Written Canada and pastored a number of churches in British Columbia.
He currently lives in Loveland, Colorado, and enjoys any activity that gets him out of doors and into the mountains, especially when his wife, Jean, can join him.
