Steve and Inger’s Biography

Was born in Portsmouth England, but having a Naval Father meant being raised across the U.K. and the  world in various ports and bases including Singapore. The Lord  saved  me at age 16 by the witness of Jewish believers whilst working in a restaurant (The first time on hearing the gospel). Then through  God’s supernatural intervention I ended up going to seminary at London Bible College, earning a degree in Theology where I co-led the campus Prayer for Israel group with Jacob Prasch. Ministered then  in a number of short term projects, including Iceland and various other Scandinavian countries.

Met Inger my  wife at a missions base in Norway 1992. Two weeks after our marriage we were pastoring amongst the Inuit (Eskimo) people’s in the  Canadian Arctic. I Spent the next nine years at various mission posting across the Northwest Territories, ending up in the high Arctic  close to the Alaskan Border near the North Pole.  Then after a spell in the Canadian military post 9/11, returned to the pastoral ministry. I left the Anglican ministry due to a series of serious doctrinal and moral  differences on a range of issues from not accepting infant baptism to my objecting to homosexual ordination.   Currently we are  in the Albertan Prairies, where I pastor  a Pentecostal church amongst the Northern Canadian  rural peoples; including the Cree and other  native groups.  Inger my  wife was raised in a Christian Home in Kristiansand, Norway. She  follows in her father’s footsteps of ministering through music and Christian song.

These Are the Days of Eli

Contrary to  the lyrics in a popular worship song currently being invoked  in the church today,  “These are the days of Elijah”, I believe a  more accurate description of our time  would rather  be from 1 Samuel  3,   “These are the days  of Eli, the priest of Shiloh”.

It is important to understand the  true  condition and diagnosis that we as  a church have  entered  into,  and unfortunately  it is not a condition that warrants  singing about our  health and well-being. Scripturally, the   “righteousness  being restored”  will actually come through judgement not favouritism. According to God’s Word  what  really  lies ahead prophetically  is  a  period of   trouble, exile,  and persecutions  and  not  triumphalism. What we do  need   is to be  prepared spiritually and mentally. We need  a  deep  sense of humility, and a determination to obey God’s Word (indeed, as Elijah  did)  so as  not to miss  the  direction the Lord is taking us in.  We must, among other things, not end up trying to protect   an established   leadership in so many cases in today’s church when so much of this contemporary leadership  is actually  under God’s condemnation ( as John the Baptist and Elijah  warned Israel).
