International Newsletter June 2011
Dear Friends,
Jennifer and Tiffany were raised by a single mother who struggled with drug and alcohol addictions. School was optional and stealing was acceptable. At age ten, the life Jennifer knew was completely turned upside down when their mother, who often had abusive relationships, was killed by her boyfriend. Jennifer and Tiffany – who had different dads – were separated. Jennifer was adopted and Tiffany went to live with her biological father. Download pdf
Jennifer, who had always had a desire to know God, found Jesus as a young teenager, and is now married to Aaron Pierce. She is now a Steiger missionary along with Aaron. They have both been members of No Longer Music since 2007. Tiffany however, remained in her destructive lifestyle. Over the years, Jennifer tried to reach out to Tiffany, but with little success. In March of this year, Jennifer was heartbroken to find out that, at age 22, Tiffany was unmarried and pregnant. It seemed the cycle would repeat itself.
Jennifer invited Tiffany to the No Longer Music “Send Off” Show on Sunday 22nd of May at Grace Church in Eden Prairie. The No Longer Music show communicates the Gospel in a clear, raw and relevant way. After the show Tiffany – with tears in her eyes – came forward and knelt to receive Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour!! It was an incredibly special moment for Jennifer.
Jennifer has been able to meet with Tiffany since and talk about what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Please pray for Tiffany as she begins this journey and that she is able to sustain this new life for her and the baby. Pray that she will be surrounded by many people who can support her in this important decision she has made. 
Tiffany was one of around 60 people who responded to my message after the “Send Off” Show. The response was much bigger than we anticipated and so we literally had to ask pastors and people from the crowd (around 700 people attended) to come and pray with those who responded. It is clear that even in the suburbs of Minneapolis, people are hungry for the truth!
Thank you for your love and support that makes it possible for so many hurting and lost young people to hear that Jesus loves them.
For the lost,
David & Jodi Pierce

“I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.” - Romans 15:30
Ukraine Students - Scholarships Needed
We still need to raise scholarships for 10 students from Ukraine to attend Steiger’s Radical Missionary School. Each scholarship costs €1,500 and covers their food, lodging and tuition during the entire school.
Would you consider sponsoring one of these potential radical young missionaries?
When you provide funds for a scholarship, you will receive the name and information about the student that the funds are used for. They will also contact you and share about their experience at the school and what God is teaching them.
Donations can be made online through our website or by contacting the Steiger Office closest to you.
