There is Hope and Healing for your Marriage

Elizabeth VanSteenhouse received a vision from God that her husband Jim would become a man of God, and a preacher of the word. She prayed 5 years for Jim to become that man, when it looked like this vision would never come true the Bear attack happened. The changes in Jim and the changes in their marriage are nothing short of miraculous; a testimony to the power of a praying woman and the working of the Holy Spirit in a married couple. Jim and Elizabeth travel together now ministering to couples through their testimony and the biblical teachings that have transformed their marriage and family life.

Jim and Elizabeth are available to minister at your event or church.

Elizabeth and Jim share their powerful testimony of their marriage miracle together. They both share where they were struggling in their roles as partners spiritually and how the Lord changed them. They are honest, transparent and relatable. Together the Lord has spoken through them and brought healing and hope to couples. Elizabeth is a gifted speaker and powerful minister to women, addressing the strongholds that women face and bringing the grace and the power of God to break those strongholds.

Jim speaks to men about servant leadehip in your marriage and home. He shares how the Lord broke him of pride and hypocrisy to make him a better husband and father.

”Thank you so much for bringing the Bear Man and his wife to our church. Today they not only told my story, they told my sponsee’s story. My sponsee’s name is also Elizabeth. So, when Jim said her name, he was basically talking to my sponsee. My Elizabeth will be baptized at the 7:45am service next Sunday. We spoke with our Pastor after the service, she said she felt she needed to be baptized to be able to forgive herself for all the things she did and can’t forgive herself for doing. She will be washed clean. Thank you again. Through their testimonies, they brought a soul closer to Christ. She picked up a different kind of “chip” today. The first day of a new life.

”I attended the bear man night at St. Paul’s with my family. We sat down next to a gentleman sitting by himself. He was quiet and we didn’t speak. At the end of the night, we were led to close our eyes and hold the hand of the person next to you so I held his hand. Then with eyes closed still, we were encouraged to squeeze the hand we were holding, if we wanted to accept Christ. The guy squeezed my hand, so i said to him lets go forward then and we got up. I finally looked at him and realized I knew him. He hadn’t recognized me either, he was my personal trainer 15 years ago! He looked at me and said, "woooaaah this is crazy!" He said he almost didn’t come and sitting next to me couldn't have been an accident! He just kept saying "wow I’m so glad I came.
