Steve Gallagher
For more than two decades, the ministry of Steve Gallagher has consistently brought people into an encounter with the Cross, leading sincere believers into a life of deep consecration to God. Having experienced the intimacy with the Lord that comes from living in the fire himself, his burden is to see the Church at large purified and possessed by the power of God.
Steve has a contagious passion for holy living. Anyone who has read Steve’s writings knows that God has revealed deep spiritual truths to him—kingdom truths that are imparted to his listeners when he speaks. If he has been successful at anything it has been to apply “deeper life” teachings to the daily struggles of post-modern believers. Whether preaching to a congregation or teaching at a leader’s conference, Steve does his utmost to bring his audience into an eternal perspective.

Dave Leopold
Dave arrived in Cincinnati Teen Challenge in 1974, hollowed out inside from years of drug abuse. He successfully completed the program and remained on staff there for nearly four years.
