International Newsletter July 2011
Dear Friends,
We arrived at the Ukrainian/Polish border only to be told that we had to drive to another border. Robert, our polish promoter, thought that the police may have been looking for a bribe. So after an all-night drive on crazy roads we arrived at another border where we carried, by hand, all of our personal gear and band equipment in the pouring rain from the Ukrainian border to the Polish border.

Exhausted we finally arrived in Krakow, Poland. We had to leave Aaron and Andrew behind in Lutsk, Ukraine because our van was broken and being repaired. The next day we played in the middle of Krakow University on a beautiful summer night and about one-thousand students watched the performance.
After I preached, I invited people who wanted a real relation-ship with Jesus to join hands with us and nearly 400 students formed a circle in the middle of the university square and prayed with us while others watched from there dorm windows. It was an amazing night and our Polish tour was just beginning!
God also moved powerfully during our Ukrainian tour. For example in Zaporozhye, again a crowd of around 1000 people came. It was arranged by Ira, a twenty year old Ukrainian girl who is now attending our Radical Missionary School in Krögis, Germany.
After the concert about 100 people knelt to receive Jesus while the police harassed us and told us we couldn’t pray with people. The local church was forced to pay off corrupt city officials because they threatened to cut the electricity. Undeterred, the radical pastor in that city wants to organize an even bigger concert next year!!
In Kiev we played in The Lenin Club - the biggest underground club in the city. Lenin is a dark club with sadomasochistic images, tattoo parlors and two hard core stages. The club owner, along with 15 others, prayed to receive Jesus into their lives while we were there.
These are only a few examples of what God has done so far on the No Longer Music Evangelistic tour and follow-up efforts continue in every city. For more detailed reports go to:

Thank you for your prayers and financial support that make it possible for the love of Jesus to be proclaimed to so many.
For the lost,

Volunteers Needed!
In August we will be losing our office worker in Karlsruhe. We desperately need regular volunteers in our offices: in the Steiger Germany office (accounting, communication, organization), in the International Office (creating/sending info letters, advertisement materials, and communication, also in English) and in Krögis (organization, accounting, communication) and in São Paulo (organization, communication, short term missions coordination, etc).
We are also looking for people who would be willing to financially support Steiger office workers. We need more organization and better communication. We need more people who are gifted at working in these areas. Please pray with us about this.
