George Stepan began preaching and teaching the Bible when he was 18. So far, his ministry has included 48 years of service in many and varied assignments. His primary passion is to see revival with lasting results.
When he was 38, God, through a combination of people, books and circumstances, brought him into the awareness of Spiritual Reality. In a nutshell, he suddenly understood that Jesus is the way, He is the truth and He is the life. All of the futile efforts to live a Christian life based on self effort were immediately exchanged for Jesus to live His life (the Christ life) in and through him. His teaching was dramatically changed and the fruit of the revival ministries has remained.
George is eager to share the abundant life Jesus promised with everyone he can.
