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.
