Steven and Madeline Swank

Steven and Madeline are currently in Salt Lake City ministering to the large Latter Day Saint population there.

Here’s an excerpt from a recent email:

Answered prayers

We had a wonderful trip to Salt Lake City. Thank you so much for your support and prayers! We prayed before this trip that God would provide a car for us to use during our time in SLC, that we would get to connect with Christians and Mormons, and that we would find a place to live. We can happily say that all 3 of those prayers were answered!

The Courageous Church launch

Courageous Church launched on September 15th and over 90 people attended the service! The worship, preaching, and Christian community are a rare blessing here in the Valley. We’re so excited to be a part of this new church plant.

Evangelism at the Salt Lake Temple

We had the opportunity to pray for people and share the Gospel three days in a row at the Salt Lake City Mormon temple. We were able to sit down with two Mormon missionaries for 45 minutes on the third day and discuss who the Jesus of the Bible is. One Elder was kind and listened well, but the other was very arrogant and dismissive during our conversation. Please pray that they come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Pray

That God would provide all of the financial partners that we need.

DID YOU KNOW?

Mormons have a living prophet, whom they believe is similar to the prophets of the Old Testament. This year, their prophet declared that they would no longer go by or use the term “Mormon”. Instead, they ask that you call their church by its full name “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. Out of respect, we now refer to Mormons strictly as “Latter Day Saints” when speaking with them personally.
