More than 500,000 laypersons have been trained as Stephen Ministers, who in turn have ministered to more than a million care receivers.

    Tens of thousands of pastors and lay leaders trained as Stephen Leaders to direct Stephen Ministry in those congregations. And hundreds of thousands of lay Stephen Ministers reaching out with Christ's love to hurting people. But biggest of all is the number of people whom God has cared for through a Stephen Minister. More than a million--and growing.
