International Newsletter July 2012
Dear friends,
Below is a testimony from Aaron and Jennifer Pierce’s newsletter about a girl who gave her life to Jesus as a result of a NLM concert last summer:
“I was very touched. I was very impressed. My heart was melting. After the concert, when David made the altar call, I felt the presence of God and I RAN forward” said Ala, a young Ukrainian girl who attended a No Longer Music concert in Sumy, Ukraine last summer.

After the No Longer Music concert, Ala began coming regularly to the “art café” - an evangelistic café started by a group of Ukrainian students who attended Steiger’s Radical Missions School in Germany (steiger.org/rms) last summer.
Ala began attending a weekly bible hour at the art café, where she could ask honest questions about God and her life. After a time, Ala decided to fully commit her life to Jesus! “My life has totally changed since I have known Christ. I know that I am never alone and I can have the victory in any situation” she said.
In April, Ala attended Steiger’s “mini” Mission School - a week long school that introduces students to the vision of Steiger International and teaches the basic principles and foundations of what it means to be a missionary. The school was taught by Steiger missionaries Aaron Pierce and Filip Pasek.
At the school, Ala’s passion for the Lord and the lost was obvious. She was hungry for truth and excited to tell others about Jesus! Besides Ala, there were 24 students from 10 cities throughout Ukraine and one from Russia. They were all passionate about reaching the lost!
Seven students, including Ala, were invited from the “mini” school to attend the Steiger’s full Radical Missions School in Germany this summer. These students, along with the 16 students that attended the school last year, will form the core of the Steiger Ukraine team.
One of the visions we have for Steiger Ukraine is the formation of a Russian speaking No Longer Music team. This team would use music, theatre and art to reach secularized youth throughout the Russian speaking world, including Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and others. This is all a part of Steiger’s larger goal of multiplying the ministry of No Longer Music.
Thank you for your prayers and support. You truly do hold our hands up in the battle!

Manifest Festival
Steiger’s evangelistic music and art festival “Manifest” (17-19 August) exists to offer the lost young people (17-35 years of age) of Europe the opportunity to break free from the enslavement of the world’s lies by presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a relevant, clear and bold way through music, art and other creative means.
The festival is located on the grounds of Steiger’s Inter-national Headquarters in Krögis, Germany (near Dresden). The focus is on evangelism and discipleship, including bands, artists, speakers, workshops, seminars, 24-hour prayer and ministry room and street teams.
In order to reach as many lost young people as possible, the festival is FREE to attend. The festival is run by unpaid volunteers and Steiger missionaries, so the total budget is only €26,000.
