Rev. Luther Meier is the Vice President at large of Missionary Ventures International, overseeing and facilitating mission work worldwide.
Luther & Sandy Meier are both ordained ministers and Americans living in Britain since 1976. When God dramatically called them into ministry in 1975, Luther left behind his university teaching and performing career in music. They sold their home and joined an evangelistic music team, taking them to 20 countries over 6 years. They witnessed thousands of Eastern and Western Europeans coming to Christ.
Ensuing years brought them to pastoral work besides missions, planting and pastoring churches in the UK, where Luther still functions as an apostolic overseer where they reside.
In the early 90’s, the Meiers were ministry associates of Missionary Ventures until 1995, when they joined full time and founded Missionary Ventures Europe in the UK. They have pioneered ministry primarily in Uganda, India and Russia where they established leadership training colleges that flourished along with short term teams and various projects. During this time, they spent time in India, reaching an unreached people group where the Kingdom of God continues to thrive and grow in many villages. In 2005, Luther was appointed as vice president at large of Missionary Ventures International.
During 43 years in foreign missions, they have ministered in 37 countries. Sandy has sung in 15 different languages for evangelistic events and worship settings, as well as joining Luther by teaching in conferences and Bible colleges. With primary responsibilities of spiritual oversight and leadership within MVI, Luther and Sandy also minister to missionaries around the world from their own experiences and walking with the Lord for many years.
