Liz Adleta is a global prayer strategist, mission catalyst, and storyteller dedicated to fostering disciple-making movements among the world’s least-reached peoples. She carries a deep conviction that prayer is the indispensable key to the unfinished task.
For more than 40 years, Liz and her late husband, Tom Adleta, served as pioneer missionaries across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Their ministry was defined by “shadow pastoring”—a commitment to coaching and mentoring leaders from the background so that local vision and ownership could flourish. Through this relational investment, they equipped more than 4,500 leaders who established multiplying networks of fellowships, some of which now exceed 1,000 groups in regions ranging from the Himalayas to the Russian Far East.
Their calling initially centered on the 1.38 billion people of the Buddhist world. Liz helped lead the Billion Hours Project, which mobilized more than 50 million hours of prayer for Buddhist peoples. As a founding member of the Ethnê Movement steering committee, she helped expand this vision to include all 6,000+ unreached people groups (the “Forgotten Fourth World”), producing tools like regional testimony resources that put a face on the unfinished task.
Today, Liz continues this “long obedience” as a trainer and strategist. She collaborates with global networks including the Fellowship of Prayer Strategists, 24:14 Coalition, 10 Days of Prayer, and Global Family 24-7 Prayer. Whether through writing curriculum such as Teaching with God’s Heart for the World or facilitating international consultations, Liz remains focused on seeing the love song for the nations completed by the one true Conductor.
