Rev. Stephen Goundry

Rev. Stephen Goundry is an ordained Minister living here in the United States. Leaving his home-land of England in October 2000, Stephen and his wife Pauline along with their three grown-up children based their lives and ministries in Boca Raton, Florida. Previous to his arrival, Stephen had been a missionary for many years in Russia, Romania and East Germany. Encountering the desperate needs in Eastern Europe caused him to form the U.K. charity, "Operation Joseph" - a ministry of humanitarian aid to the poor.

An opportunity in the United States to continue this kind of work in South America and the Caribbean allowed Stephen to "carry the bones of Joseph" into the poor areas on this side of the world.

As Founder and President of International Christian Institute, Stephen has been able to effectively combine the humanitarian outreach with the preaching of the Gospel. Believing firmly that the "Message" and the "Medicine" go together, he has spent his energies taking medicines and aid from the "Source to the Need" and promoting the Gospel by "Preparing those who will Go!"

The other "edge" on Stephen's "sword" has been his public speaking, his mentoring of ministry candidates, and in recent days, his writing.

 

 

 

 

Rev. Joseph Trementozzi

Rev. Joseph Trementozzi is an ordained minister. He, his wife Ann, and their three children are originally from Massachusetts but now reside in Florida. Joseph has been involved in the Lord's work, in some form or fashion, for just over 30 years. His calling is to missions’ endeavors and mercy ministries. Joe has been involved in missions work in Haiti, Romania, Poland, Spain, Ecuador, Brazil, and in the United States as well. Besides his work in International Christian Institute, he and his wife Ann are founders of a ministry called Compassionate Care Ministries, Inc; which ministers to people with disabilities and their families, and to parents who are found living a nightmare in the circumstances around the actions of a prodigal.

Rev. Trementozzi is the Executive Vice President of International Christian Institute and has adopted the mission statement: "Promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Ministry Development" as his own. He became close friends with President and Founder, Rev. Steve Goundry, in 2001. Both realized similar passions in reaching the lost and serving missionaries, so Joe became a part of International Christian Institute with Steve in the early stages of the ministry in October of 2002.

Joseph’s passion is to be involved with making a difference for the Kingdom in whatever method of ministry he is asked to participate in. Whether it is preaching, teaching, counseling, or helping someone eat in a feeding program, it makes no difference to him.
