Something Broken Something extraordinary
Excerpt: I was walking down our street in Amsterdam to pick up some groceries when I noticed a group gathered around the canal. The grocery store was on the edge of the Red Light District, so it always made for an interesting trip because of the people I would meet on the way. I neared the group, trying to figure out what had attracted them. Suddenly I saw it. There was a dead body in the canal. It wasn't the first time I had seen something like this. Today it was a prostitute. Another time it had been a junkie. Apparently the prostitute had gotten into a fight and been thrown into the canal. --- Steiger means "pier" in Dutch. Our name comes from the address of the barge behind Central Station in Amsterdam, Holland - "Steiger 14" - where Steiger International first began. In the 1980's, David and Jodi Pierce started a Bible study there for the un-churched and the punks; in time, this effort resulted in the establishment of a church in the inner city. It was during this time that David Pierce formed the band No Longer Music as a tool for communicating Jesus to the secular music scene. From Amsterdam, they began organizing evangelistic tours throughout Western and Eastern Europe, including Russia and Mongolia. Steiger International's ministries have planted churches in Siberia, Poland, Germany, Holland and the USA. Steiger has founded annual Jesus Camps (Bible camps) in Europe and Brazil, evangelistic tours for a number of new ministry bands and Discipleship Training Schools. Additionally, Steiger supplies speakers to churches around the world, speaking about world evangelism and the challenge of reaching the global youth culture.
