Dear Friends,
2011 has been a great year at Steiger. We’ve seen God working all over the world, including Ukraine, Poland, Iraq, Turkey, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Germany, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. By God’s power, we’ve seen hundreds respond to Christ!

Report from USA
During “The Fest” in Gainesville, Florida (the largest Punk Rock festival in America) we played in a city park that was also being used by “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators. Aaron Pierce was able to lead one of the demonstrators to Christ after the concert and many more heard a clear message about Jesus.
“Cosmonaught” played in a club called “Naughty Mel’s” and a young guy in the club was healed of an ear infection. He wept as the Holy Spirit revealed God’s love to him after our concert. David Pierce spoke in a local church and God moved powerfully in the meeting and we are praying about how we can bring Jesus to this festival again in the future.

Report from Brazil
The air was heavy with intoxicating cannabis smoke but we knew we needed to be there. Through the music and drama we demonstrate how Jesus defeated death.
At the climax of the performance my body is suspended 2 meters from the floor to show the crucifixion. After a moment of silence, I stood up demonstrating the resurrection.
As the crowd stared attentively I explained how Jesus walked with people, lived among them and loved them. He was violently murdered by corrupt politicians and envious religious leaders. But he defeated death, and he could defeat the death in their life. Then we invited people to our weekly Bible study, and many were interested.

Report from Ukraine
All of the Steiger Radical Missionary School graduates can truly say that their lives have been transformed after the school. As proof of this, we already have started new projects that were birthed in us during the Steiger school.
At the end of September we launched an Evangelistic Art-Café in Sumy, Ukraine. Every Friday we have up to 100 young people (non-Christians) coming to our Café. We have prayed with many young people who are hungry for God. We believe these young people are future missionaries for Ukraine and Europe!
In a town called Zaporozhie, a club was started after the No Longer Music tour this summer and many bands and young people are being reached for Jesus.
