Steve Winstead
Ethiopia
Pastor at International Evangelical Church
Spouse: Margaret
Children: Samuel, Noah, Benjamin, Daniel
Steve serves as the lead pastor of International Evangelical Church (IEC), a non-denominational evangelical church in Addis Ababa. IEC is a congregation of over 1,000 members from more than 60 nationalities. The church ministers to children, youth, young adults, and adults through discipleship, community outreach, and missions. The church leadership and several members serve, with ministries, the many orphans who are homeless. Over the next year, Steve and IEC propose to strengthen the ministries of the church by working to train national pastors through the national Evangelical Believer’s Council. Steve and his church do quarterly training for over 300 pastors and church leaders. Steve and IEC also plan to provide training for the Evangelical College that meets on the church campus with over 600 students (90% of pastors in Ethiopia have no training).
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for son Samuel's college decision.
