FEBRUARY 15-22, 2009
GBC ANNUAL MISSIONS CONFERENCE
Guest Speaker: Steve Strauss
Steve was led to Christ by his mom when he was a young boy. The life and ministry of his dad, a pastor, had a strong influence on his Christian growth and desire to serve the Lord. Steve and Marcia met at Bryan College and were married in 1976. While at Dallas Seminary, God used a short-term missions trip to Liberia and mission-minded friends to direct the Strausses to a ministry of church leadership training in Africa.
For nineteen years Steve and Marcia served in Ethiopia where Steve had pastoral duties at the International Evangelical Church and helped start three programs to train African pastors, evangelists, teachers, and other church leaders. Steve completed a Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies from Trinity International University in 1997 and became SIM USA Director in November 2001.
The Strausses have three adult children: Cara, Mark, and David. Besides spending time with his family, Steve’s greatest joy in life is using Scripture to motivate people to catch God’s heart of love for every people group on earth.
