In the early 1980s, "Steiger" started as a bible study on a red barge behind Central Station in Amsterdam. From there, Steiger's ministry "No Longer Music" served as a catalyst for a movement of people and ministries passionate about reaching the lost. Today, Steiger has grown and developed into a true mission organisation dedicated to reaching and discipling the "secularised global youth culture" for Jesus, with 50 missionaries and ministry bases all over the world.
In order to demonstrate the scope of Steiger's ministry efforts around the world, we thought it would be great to share just a few ministry highlights from 2012. We praise God for all that He has done. None of this would have been possible without his blessing and direction!
For the lost,
David Pierce
