Help Revive the Great Commission in Churches Across the Nation

Hi, my name is Steven Halford and I hail from the south coast of England, UK.

I’ve been living in America since 2017 where my home and base are.

I’ve been in ministry in some form since 1997 when I first surrendered to the Lord as a teenager.

Since then He’s taken me around the world preaching the Gospel and planting churches in South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

My ministry is primarily based in Africa; Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Nigeria. And really, my heart is to expand the ministry of what Jesus wants to do in these places.

We also have a presence in Pakistan and we’re heading back to the U.K. to plant new works.

I would consider myself an apostolic evangelist. Myself and our team go and evangelize to small, medium and large groups. We have mass rallies, whatever it takes to get the Gospel put across. I take teams with me as I go and minister, this will be the same whether it’s in England, parts of Europe, or in Asia, I always go with a team. And we work with the indigenous population of the countries in which we go.

Support the Cause

This isn’t about myself, Steven, having my name in big lights. This is really about taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations. When people give their lives to the Lord, we get them involved in local ministries and local churches. If there isn’t a healthy local church, then we plant one.

Steven Halford Ministries isn’t about us going and just putting on big events for the sake of having big events. It’s very much us going kind of under the radar and seeing whole parts of the countries we go to really change and transform. We’ve seen whole regions of Uganda change with the power of the Gospel, we’ve seen great revival breakout in Nigeria, we really want to go to places like Nigeria, where we can go and rescue people with the Gospel before they get radicalized.

Many of my friends over there have been persecuted. The revival that broke out 10 years ago, that we were a part of, is under attack.

So we would love for you to stand with us. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with us and for partnering with Christian Life Missions to send us to the nations and to make Jesus known. God bless you. Thank you

PRISON OUTREACH

Help Get Bibles to Those in Prison

CLM has organized a network of prison ministries that will provide the names, addresses and inmate numbers of prisoners who want Bibles and Christian literature. Your tax deductible gift pays the basic cost for these books and Bibles to be sent to those in need, and 100% of your gift provides chaplains what they need for the inmates—subscriptions, Bibles or books. Nothing is taken out for overhead costs.

How to Reach the ‘Least of These’ in Prison

CLM has organized a network of prison ministries that will give us the names, addresses and inmate numbers of prisoners who want Bibles and Christian literature. Ray Hall runs one these ministries. After serving in the Air Force for 30 years and then working another 23 years for NASA, Ray Hall of Titusville, Florida, deserved to retire in 1998 (?). Instead he founded a ministry to provide good Christian books and Bibles for tens of thousands of prisoners in more than 2600 prison facilities around the world. Today at age 87 he continues this life-changing ministry as a volunteer. Since many prisoners are trying to get their lives turned around, they are motivated and have time to read but no way to get good Christian books to nurture their spiritual growth. Hall estimates each book is passed to at least 30 others.

Publishers donate excess books or sell them at cost. Christian Life Missions, the nonprofit partner of Charisma has set a goal of raising $20,000 to help Hall and his wife, Joyce. Everyone in the ministry is a volunteer, but it takes money to ship and warehouse the books.

Jesus said, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matt. 25:40)—and that includes serving those who are incarcerated. Isn’t this an investment in the lives of the prisoners Jesus asked us to visit? Think of how you can impact the life of an inmate hungry for the Light of the world. What a witness!

Support Missionary Work in the Jungles of Colombia

Since 1961, missionary Bruce Olson has labored for the gospel of Jesus Christ among the Motilone Indians deep in the jungles of Colombia’s high Catatumbo region. But today Olson’s most exciting missionary work still lies ahead.

The Missionary work of Bruce Olson

When Bruce Olson was 19, he bought a one-way ticket to South America and traveled into the uncharted jungles of northeast Colombia. There, 45 years ago, he found the Motilones, a fierce, primitive Indian tribe.

The Motilones called him “Bruchko” because that is how they pronounced his name. Though Olson had no official sponsorship from a missions board or organization, in the ensuing years, he established medical clinics and schools for the tribe. He has translated Scripture into their language, and he has led many of them in accepting Christ as their Savior.

The small yet volatile country of Colombia has long been plagued with escalating problems, including revolutionary uprisings and plundering by drug barons. In the midst of the danger, the turmoil and the cocaine trafficking, Olson has quietly and effectively won the love and respect of the Motilones, and in fact, the entire nation. In his book titled, Bruchko, Olson tells the story of his early years of ministry in Colombia.

Olson lived and worked with the Motilones until October, 1988, when the shocking news came: He had been captured by a band of guerrilla terrorists intent on controlling Motilone territory as part of their strategy for revolution. Bruce was in captivity for nine months and endured constant torture and death threats. During that time he was faced with a firing squad, only to find that the bullets were blanks in an attempt to break him, but it didn’t work.

Finally, one of the guerrilla leaders, Federico, told him that he was released. He told Olson that they had made a mistake when they captured him. He went on to say, “It’s an embarrassment to us that you’ve been held in our camps. If we’ve mistreated you we hope you can find the greatness to forgive us. We’ve decided to leave the Motilones as an autonomous people. We will leave them alone, and you many continue your work among them as before.”

Olson led many of the guerrillas to the Lord. Olson is thankful that God was quietly working out His sovereign will, not only in his life, but in the lives of everyone involved: the Motilones and other tribal peoples, the people of Colombia, the guerrillas, and indeed, people all over the world.

Bruce’s work continues today. More than 30 professionals have graduated from Colombian universities, among which are physicians, accounts, translators, Bible scholars, forest rangers, agronomists, and more than 400 as technical apprentices and high school graduates. All the students are back among their respective communities sharing the expertise of their newly acquired knowledge.

THE MORDECAI PROJECT

Help Stop the Abuse & Marginalization of Women Around the World

The Mordecai Project is confronting all forms of abuse including domestic violence, female infanticide, denial of education to girls, forced prostitution and sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, mistreatment of widows and honor killings. We are calling for the full participation of trained women in church leadership, and we challenge the global church to reject unbiblical religious traditions that encourage gender discrimination.

Confront Abuse and Empower Women in Developing Countries

6 Out of 10 Indian Men Admit to Committing Violence Against Their Wives

U.N. Population Fund and the ICRW survey

In many parts of the world, when a girl is born families literally declare a day of mourning. Newborn girls are often buried alive, suffocated under blankets, thrown to wild animals, burned with acid, dropped down wells, or tossed into the ocean. Billboards across India advertise gender-selective abortions. Many girls in China are killed at birth—even in hospitals. Female infanticide is an accepted practice in many countries. If a girl somehow survives childhood, the abuse, hatred and gender-based discrimination doesn’t end, even when she becomes a woman.

When J. Lee Grady, former Charisma Editor, saw the discrimination and abuse of women he felt the Holy Spirit say, “Why don’t you defend them?” He responded as a journalist would with books and articles. But now his ministry has expanded around the world with crusades and orphanages.

Christian Life Missions has partnered with the Mordecai Project to help support the efforts of J. Lee Grady and rescue these women and girls. CLM has set a goal to raise $100,000 of the $250,000 Lee needs to purchase a new building in India to provide a safe and loving Christian environment for girls who have been abandoned because of their gender. Financial support would also offer food, clothing, education and affirmation to girls who deserve a chance to succeed in life.

Lee’s vision is to partner with local churches and ministries throughout the developing world to establish women’s empowerment centers. These centers will provide:

  • Care and education for orphan girls (as well as assistance to place them in adoptive homes).
  • Shelter, healing and vocational training for women who must leave their husbands to escape violence.
  • Training for women who are called to church or ministry leadership.

The Mordecai Project has already begun its first girls’ home in India and Lee is working to raise money to complete this project. Phase One of the plan is to assist women and girls in Guatemala, Uganda, Malawi, Nigeria, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and other cities in India.

Please help support these women and girls by giving to this cause which will stop the abuse and change the circumstances of their lives.

Over 300k Reported Incidents of Crime Against Women In 2013

Nation Crime Records Bureau

The Mordecai Project’s vision is to empower women to succeed and in doing so transform nations. That is accomplished in part by building safe houses for girls and women who have suffered gender-based violence and helping them to heal, be educated, and be positioned to transform their own societies.

So far The Mordecai Project has initiated projects in Guatemala, Peru, Colombia and India. Grady is planning to launch similar projects in Malawi, El Salvador, Ecuador, Bolivia, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and additional cities in India. He also plans to build homes in the U.S. for Native American women, in Canada for First Nation women, and in Australia for aboriginal women. “In the U.S. the women with the highest percentage of abuse are Native American women living on reservations,” he explains. “And when you look at abuse against women in Canada, it’s the native women who are at the top of the list.” It’s a similar crisis among aboriginal women in Australia.

Please consider helping Lee as he works to confront gender-based violence and raise the $100,000 needed to purchase a new building for the Mordecai’s House girls’ home in Tanuku, India. “Our current facility is very small,” says Lee. “Our dream is to not only purchase a larger building, but also to establish a school for our 33 girls—and to make room for more. In India, many families do not believe girls are worth educating. We want our girls to demonstrate how vital it is for girls to excel in school and go to college—and eventually get good jobs. Educating girls is the secret to ending systemic poverty in the developing world!”
