Pasteur Claude FATCHINA

Pasteur Claude Fatchina, Benin

The announcement of Uncle Erlo's departure to the Heavenly Father did not come as a surprise.  During previous pastorals, especially that of 2019, by analyzing his message, was preparing to join the Heavenly Father.  Like Jesus Christ in Matthew 28 on the eve of His earthly departure leaving a clear orientation to the disciples, Uncle Erlo had also done so.  May God work the hearts of the management team in place to continue the work of Uncle Erlo.

Pastor BJ Ngidi

We thank God for His precious Gift unto us. Glory be unto God the most High.

Penny

Penny, USA

This is a terrible loss for the family, the Mission, the Zulu people and people all over the world who were blessed by his ministry.

I was brought to Kwasizabantu in the 1980s and Rev Stegen prayed for me. When Rev Stegen visited the USA some years back, I went to meet with him. I continue to watch the KSB services from the USA where I live. I am very grateful for having known him and for his help.

George Mwabu

Rev. George K. Mwabu, Kenya

The General has fallen. I personally listened to this man when I attended one of his conferences in 2019 and was really impacted. I appreciate every moment of his sacrifice and pray for an equal to the task transition.

We need to thank God for the tremendous gift from God Himself to change the lives of many people, particularly in the whole of the Republic of South Africa and world at large.

About Us

Erlo Stegen
John 15:7‬ ‭NIV
If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

My business is not to do miracles, not to preach the Gospel, not to save souls, but to do His will. And I know His will for me is that there is nothing between Him and me, that the relationship with Him is unbroken.
