“Uncle Erlo was the greatest man that ever lived and I am privileged and honoured to have known him.”

“Rev Erlo Stegen was invited to come to Brazil and he accepted the invitation and preached a powerful message in our town, Belem, at the Amazon region. We thank God for that special and wonderful occasion.”

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.

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

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.

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.

A GREAT Man Of GOD has gone home. We give praise to God for the LIFE and Ministry of Dr. STEGEN.
