The band Korn has sold over 35 million copies of their albums worldwide, earning two Grammy Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards.

“Greenpeace saves whales, Jesus saves people” reads one of the banners that we hang from church buildings and bridges in Switzerland.

We have a family motto: “Good and hard always go together.” I heard this all the time growing up. Maybe it doesn’t seem like such a revolutionary thought, but this simple concept has had an enormous impact on my life.

At the start of another year, it’s really encouraging and humbling to look back and see all that God has done through Steiger. What started as a loose network of friends around the world has grown into a true worldwide organization with a singular God-given mission:
To reach and disciple the Global Youth Culture for Jesus.

Millions of young people are being slaughtered all over the world by the lies that they hear! When will more Christian artists stand up and tell them the truth?

Patrycja came to the Sfera tent café during the Polish SLOT festival in 2015. She enjoyed the atmosphere so much that she asked to be a Sfera volunteer in 2016. She joined the team with 16 other Sfera/Steiger volunteers. With time spent together, many talks and prayers, she decided she also wanted to follow Jesus.

“You can clearly see a thirst for God in their eyes. And you know that in that moment, you can become a conduit through whom God will speak to their hearts of His love! And I do not know anything more beautiful than to be part of that."

“In the crowd, I saw an aggressive man moving towards me as if he would attack, but instead he stopped right in front of me. Then he said he felt something like peace and he would like to have it inside of him.  I prayed that the Holy Spirit would fill him. No sooner had the conversation finished, another man came who wanted prayer and wished to have the freedom of Christ.”
Stephan Maag from Switzerland (Steiger Missions School Evangelism Coordinator)

“Thank you very much for changing my life. Your show and your message are amazing and very important. (Last year) I came to God and made a decision to serve Him for the rest of my life. It’s the best gift in my life. Thank you very much!”
Mary from Velikie Luki, Russia

Takehold Records, the record label I was running single-handedly without any music or business experience, was in serious financial trouble. Though I saw success in signing acts like Underoath - a well-known hardcore band - it was God’s divine mercy and intervention when Tooth and Nail Records out of Seattle agreed to buy the failing company and pull me out of a desperate situation.

Thank you so much for continuing to stand with us in prayer! God is working powerfully through Steiger. One of the areas that I am very excited about is how God is moving through our ongoing local presence in cities all over the world.

“I’m just a simple guy from Ukraine that has a dream to turn over Ukraine for Jesus!” Valery Ryabokonenko, Steiger Missions School Graduate
Valery is a dynamic young man that attended the Steiger Missions School a few years ago and has gone on to make an incredible impact for the Gospel in his country.

Despite outbursts of violence and a government ban on all outdoor events, God made a way for No Longer Music to perform a concert in the center of Mukachevo, Ukraine in August 2015. A massive crowd pressed up against the stage and enthusiastically watched the show. In the end, 100 people raised their hands indicating they wanted to know more about Jesus.

Back in 1991, No Longer Music was one of the first western rock bands to tour Russia after the fall of communism. Twenty-five years later the doors opened once again. We were repeatedly told that an American band openly sharing the Gospel in Russia would be impossible, but we felt we needed to go. What we found when we go there was incredible.

For years, we’ve had the vision to challenge Christian artists to train, equip and release artists as missionaries to share the Gospel outside of the church. We want artists of every kind having an eternal kingdom impact through their art and music.

For almost a year, we’ve been working with Safak, a Kurdish man whose father is a muslim cleric, and our Turkish partners “TACO” to organize a large stage truck tour of Turkey. We were planning at least 10 major concerts reaching thousands of people in a country that is 99.9% Muslim.

Our local Ukrainian promoter Valery stepped out of the church and headed towards the train station, but something was strange. Instead of a busy street everything was quiet. No one was walking around except for riot police and soldiers.

Everyone said this would not work. The time for public preaching of the Gospel in Russia is over. Even more absurd is the idea that an “American” western band could do this. We were the “enemy”.

The 2015 No Longer Music tour got off to a very rough start… The morning of our first concert in Liberec, Czech Republic, the vehicle that pulls our stage trailer broke down. The next few hours were spent frantically trying to solve the problem.

In 1991, just after the fall of the Soviet Union, we did a 32-concert "Moscow to Mongolia" No Longer Music tour, where we had the opportunity to be the first Western band to play in Uzbekistan and Mongolia.
