Pastor Shawn Boonstra is speaker/director for the Voice of Prophecy ministry, where he has served since 2013. 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 the existential questions of the human experience, providing biblical answers to universal questions and dilemmas.
Shawn routinely holds live meetings, including his Revelation Speaks Peace series, which reveals that prophecy can be understood and that it ultimately points to the hope found in Jesus. He has held this series throughout North America, most recently in Calgary, Alberta. He’s also presented it internationally in places such as Rome and Andhra Pradesh, India.
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 30 years plus 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 Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The ministry’s reach extends worldwide, and current projects include various outreach programs in Myanmar and a rehabilitation home for girls who have been the victims of human trafficking in India.
Earlier in his ministry, Shawn served as an associate ministerial director at the North American Division, speaker/director for It Is Written, speaker/director for It Is Written Canada, and as a local pastor and evangelist in British Columbia.
Shawn 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.
