We here at FaithSearch are excited to have Adrian Van Vactor, an international award-winning illusionist who utilizes his art as a tool to bridge cultural and generational gaps in order to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the distinctive combination of apologetics and entertainment. This distinctive has granted Adrian unique access to share the Gospel on sixty international tours in twenty-seven countries!
RESPONDING TO THE MACEDONIAN CALL! June 5-22, 2025
Adrian Van Vactor’s upcoming mission to North Macedonia echoes one of the most pivotal moments in the early church: Paul’s vision of the Macedonian Call. In Acts 16:9, Paul receives a vision in the night —a man of Macedonia pleading, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” Immediately, Paul and his companions concluded that God was calling them to bring the gospel to Macedonia, and they set out without delay, trusting that the Lord had prepared hearts to receive His message.
Just as Paul responded to God’s redirection and urgent invitation, Adrian is answering a similar call-to bring hope, truth, and the love of Christ to people in North Macedonia. Paul’s journey was not without challenges, but it bore tremendous fruit, planting the seeds of faith that would transform lives and communities. Today, the need for the gospel remains just as urgent, and the call to “come and help” still echoes across generations.
This mission is made even more exciting through the partnership with TACO (tacoteam.org), whose creative outreach has touched over twenty-one countries using the arts to share Christ’s love. TACO’s heart is to empower local churches and reach communities in culturally relevant ways —a vision that aligns perfectly with the vibrant ministry landscape in North Macedonia.
What makes this project truly remarkable is the unprecedented enthusiasm from North Macedonian ministries and churches. In TACO’s extensive experience, no country has ever welcomed them with such open arms or expressed such eagerness to work together for the gospel. Local believers are ready and waiting, excited to collaborate, train and deeply committed to seeing their communities transformed by Christ.
In addition to all FaithSearch Staff being supported by individuals to fulfill their ministry calling, most of the inviting organizations that we often partner internationally do not have the means to provide for the costs to organize these strategic outreach tours. This is an awesome opportunity for those who cannot “go” to literally “send” the Gospel with Adrian to the most unreached parts of the globe.
Let us support Adrian with our prayers, encouragement, and partnership as he steps out in faith, trusting that God will use his gifts to open hearts and change lives —just as He did through Paul in Macedonia. May this collaborative partnership of believers from all over the globe, using their arts for the Gospel, inspire us all to listen for God’s call and to respond with courage and compassion.
Please prayerfully consider becoming a strategic monthly partner to support Adrian as he continues to proclaim the gospel with evidence across the globe. In fact, would you consider a commitment today of $35… $75… or even $100 a month?
Any gift, no matter how small or how great, is a tremendous help, not only on this mission but, Lord willing, many more to come!

ABOUT Adrian Van Vactor
Adrian was nine years old when he saw his first live magic show. Little did Adrian know that Tucson, AZ, where he lived, was the home of one of the largest chapters of the Society of American Magicians. Through relationships Adrian developed as the youngest member of the local chapter, he quickly develop his skills. It was also through the club that Adrian met his first follower of Christ, who later led Adrian to the Lord.
Having a wealth of performers to learn from, whether at monthly meetings and performances, or at practice in Tucson, Adrian decided to begin competing on stage at national conferences around the country. His exposure earned him an invitation to headline as a teenage performer at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA.
Then it was time to move on to the international competitions. In 1994, Adrian was selected by audition as one of ten performers from around the globe to come to Las Vegas and compete. This annual international conference is called the “World Magic Seminar” and hosts thousands of professional performers from around the world as well as some of the most renowned names in the performing art of illusion.
Adrian won FIRST PLACE at the event, being the fist young performer to win the Lance Burton Award. Later that same year, Adrian was selected by a board of professional peers to receive the Milbourne Christopher Award for “The Most Promising Young Magician of the Future.” Previous recipients of this prestigious award include David Copperfield, as well as Siegfried and Roy.
In his early 20s, Adrian learned a unique combination of performing the art of illusion and evangelism while touring with “The Andre Kole Magical Spectacular,” a ministry of Cru, where Adrian was on staff for several years.
For over twenty five years, Adrian has used his international award-winning show as a way to challenge the minds of skeptics and share God’s message of love through Jesus Christ in a relevant and entertaining way.

TRAINING
Adrian has received extensive training as a speaker and evangelist in addition to his many years of performing the art of illusion. A graduate from The Communication Center under Cru for evangelistic speaking is where Adrian received over 160 hours of specialized evangelism training in presentation, speech development, and Christian apologetics, enhancing Adrian’s skills and ability to be relevant and effective in a variety of platforms.
In addition to his Cru training, Adrian completed The Billy Graham School of Evangelism, a thorough addition to Adrian’s knowledge and skills in communicating the Gospel to today’s world.
Adrian has performed in twenty-seven countries on six continents, with thousands of evangelistic outreach and public speaking engagements, before hundreds of thousands of people in university campuses, churches, prisons, and youth groups. Adrian has been humbled to present the Gospel and see tens of thousands of men, women, and youth commit their lives to Christ.
When Adrian is not traversing the globe sharing Christ with the un-reached, he currently lives in the Southwest U.S. with his wife and three sons as a full-time staff member with FaithSearch International, where he continues to combine his expertise in the art of illusion with his public speaking and teaching skills to share the life-transforming gospel with evidence, the FaithSearch mission, in appealing and unforgettable ways for all audiences.
