Autumn leaves ministry is a Christian ministry dedicated to preach, teach and published the present truth. Its mission is to uplift Jesus Christ and to share the message Jesus gave to the Seventh day Adventists church through the message of the shepherds Rod. The Shepherd’s Rod Message as it is popularly known, was derived from a series of Biblical Studies presented initially in Los Angeles, California, in the 1930’s by Victor Tasho Houteff, A Bulgarian Emigre, and while a Sabbath School Teacher in a Los Angeles local Seventh-day Adventist church. In 1929, Houteff completed his doctrinal studies and submitted them in the form of a book entitled The Shepherd's Rod.[5] In the preface to the manuscript that would become The Shepherd's Rod, Volume 1, he wrote, It is the intention of this book to reveal the truth of the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 7 but the chief object of this publication is to bring about a reformation among God's people. The truth herein contained is divided into seven sections, giving proof from seven different angles, to prevent any doubt or confusion. This subject is made clear by the use of the Bible and the writings given by the Spirit of Prophecy. The truth revealed here is of great importance to the church just now because of the foretold danger which God's people are soon to meet. It calls for decided action on the part of the believers to separate themselves from all worldlings and worldliness; to anchor themselves on the Solid Rock by obedience to all the truth known to this denomination, if we must escape the great ruin. "The Lord's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it." Micah 6:9. Rod believers organized the Universal Publishing Association in 1934, in Los Angeles, California. In 1935 he established a training center, and Headquarters in Waco, Texas, where for about 20 years the ministry catapulted the message to Adventists world-wide. It published and dispensed thousands of pieces of literature, initiated and employed many workers, all the while building an expansive institution with 389 acres - with crop farming, houses, horses, goats, a dairy farm, orchards, and an apiary. It had its own water supply, dispensary, mercantile, chapel and Bible Training School. Up to 125 persons resided at the Center--mostly staff and their families. On February 5, 1955, Victor Houteff died at Hillcrest Hospital, Waco, Texas of heart failure. His wife was elected the Chairman of the Executive Council, but through a series of unfortunate and ill-advised decisions and predictions, plunged the movement into disrepute, especially when the new Council forecasted the establishment of the Kingdom in April 22, 1959. This debacle became known as the "knock-out blow" and subsequently caused the movement to fragment, and the Association dissolved. Since that time, orthodox believers have reorganized endeavoring to carry the original, untainted, message to the SDA denomination in harmony with Bro. Houteff's original writings. Autumn leaves ministry remains true to the original teachings as expounded from the Scriptures and the writings of Mrs. E. G. White, the church's Inspired founder. It holds true as its original forbearers, that the Shepherd's Rod Message is God's voice--His revelation today to the SDA Church Denomination. We are committed to Published only the original writings of Victor T. Houteff. The only literature that He himself edited and send out to the Seventh Day Adventist church.
