Hello everyone my name is Joshua Stiefel, I am a pastor licensed and ordained through Holy Spirit Ministries Inc. I have been a born again Christian as long as I can remember. I grew up in a Christian home with Christian parents; my Dad was and is a pastor He is also the President of Holy Spirit Ministries Inc. I spent most of my life learning the ways of the Christian life. I am married to Jennie Stiefel who is also a licensed minister, We have been married since 1996. I have a very colorful background, most of my childhood I was a good Christian boy, however in my teen years I fell in with a rough crowd with a few years of backsliding. I got heavy into Alcohol and drugs my life was going nowhere fast. In my late teen years I met a young lady at church, we started dating then after a few years we got married and through lots of prayer and the grace of God she helped me realize that there was more to life than just me. We had a couple of kids and went to church every week I thought everything was going good life seemed good at the time. What I didnt realize is how much I got involved with my career my life began to revolve around work. Going to church just became a religious ritual; I lost all focus on what the true meaning of life was. I got a wake up call when I got news of one of my best friends from my teen years died from a drug overdose. I found out that he was crying out for help, but like many others the church wasnt there for Him. At that point I decided to devote my life to reaching out to people before it is to late for them. It wasnt long after that I was laid off from my job. I found a new job where I didnt have to work so many hours, I had much more free time to devote to studying the word of God. After a couple of years of studying, learning and internship under my brother Jeremy, I had earned my pastoral license. After more studying and working as an assistant pastor for a couple of years I was ordained as a minister. Shortly after that my wife Jennie was licensed as a minister. My wife and I are now more on fire for the spreading of the gospel than ever. We want to reach all kinds of people for the Lord. We have learned that God sees us an one so now we work together as one to reach the world one soul at a time. We have spent lots of our time reaching those that have been rejected by the church and now we have a heart to help heal the church worldwide so that it no longer rejects people no matter what their past.
