Born into a pastoral family, Elder Vine grew up with his twin brother and two sisters
in homes across the UK. After graduating with a business management degree (1995),
he served in the UK public healthcare system before God led him to ADRA (1996).
Initially serving in Azerbaijan, Elder Vine served with ADRA through 2002 in a
variety of roles worldwide. Following seminary training at Newbold College (2002-
2004), he and Luda began their pastoral ministry in London, UK. After serving as
Secretary-Treasurer in the Middle East Union, they transitioned to pastoral ministry
for 4 years in Minnesota before Elder Vine answered the call to serve as President of
Adventist Frontier Missions (www.afmonline.org) from July 2011 – March 2025.
Since then, Elder Vine has started his own preaching ministry, As a Needle to the
Pole, Inc., www.an2p.org, committed to helping people prepare to meet Jesus when
He returns in the clouds of glory.
Conrad and Luda were married in December 1999, and regard their marriage and their
two children as a personal blessing from a loving Heavenly Father.
