Why We Left Everything to Go to the Cities.
“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”
— Matthew 9:37-38
This isn’t a career. It’s a calling.
Samuel Buffington — Evangelist, Bible Worker, Medical Missionary & Digital Strategist
Samuel Buffington holds a Bachelor of Biology and completed veterinary doctoral coursework at the University of Glasgow before answering a deeper call. He served as a Bible worker and evangelist for the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference, led a Bible school in Colorado, and through deep study of Ellen White and the Spirit of Prophecy, became convinced of one urgent truth — the cities must be reached, and they must be reached the right way. Christ’s method. Not one-off crusades, but deep community integration. Personal ministry. Medical missionary work. House to house. Samuel is not just a speaker — he is an evangelist, a medical missionary, a digital strategist, and a man on mission.
Emmaline Buffington — Health Missionary, Birth Coach & Family Minister
Emmaline Buffington shares Samuel’s scientific background — a degree in biology and a year of veterinary doctoral coursework — and brings that foundation into her calling as a health missionary. She specializes in pregnancy support, birth coaching, postpartum care, natural remedies, cooking, and healthy living education. Her work is the open door — the practical, tangible care that softens hearts and builds trust in communities before the gospel is ever formally presented.
A Family Called Together
Samuel and Emmaline didn’t just build a ministry — they built a life around one. Together with their son Shiloh, the Buffingtons are an itinerant family moving city to city, establishing outposts, serving communities, and compelling people to come in. This is not a program. It is a family surrendered to the call of Luke 14:23.
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
— Joshua 24:15
What Compelled Us
The cities of this world are largely unreached. Millions live and die without ever truly hearing the gospel presented with love, met with care, and backed by a life lived among them. Ellen White was clear — outpost ministry, medical missionary work, and city evangelism done Christ’s way is what will finish the work. We believe that. We are acting on it. This is a time like this.
