The Story Behind Stephen Ministries

The Story Behind Stephen Ministries

Stephen Ministries’ founder and Executive Director, Dr. Kenneth C. Haugk, was recently interviewed on Peter Rosenberger’s nationally syndicated radio program, Hope for the Caregiver.

During their conversation, Peter and Ken talked about:

  • how Dr. Haugk got the idea for Stephen Ministry;
  • the personal and spiritual growth that Stephen Ministers experience;
  • Dr. Haugk’s own experience receiving care from a Stephen Minister when his wife was battling cancer; and
  • how the ministry has grown from nine Stephen Ministers in Dr. Haugk’s church to more than 600,000 Stephen Ministers in 13,000 congregations worldwide.
