Steve Hulshizer

Steve Hulshizer devoted his life to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Giving up a career at Merck in the early 1980s, he chose to trust the Lord to meet his family's needs and be a minister of the Gospel through preaching, teaching, writing books and tracts, publishing Milk & Honey, serving at Greenwood Hills (youth congress, challenge week boys camp, couples retreat, conferences, board member), and creating and managing Spread the Word, a non-profit organization (publishing, York Bible Study Program, giving to workers).  His ministry has reached countless individuals all over the world. Through his administrative, teaching and shepherding efforts, many saints have been built up and have a lasting appreciation for his example of living the truth that Christ is alive and eternity is real. As we remember Steve, our minds jump to one of his short definitions (to disobey is to hear beside), concise summary of Scripture (Psalm 1:1-2 separation and saturation), or pointed exhortation (faith believes God and acts accordingly). Praise the Lord for his tender heart and backbone in standing steadfastly for the gospel and Word of God in the face of pressure to cave in to society such as the symbolic practice of headship. He and his wife Nancy have been a fervent, loving team of sacrificial laborers for the Lord Jesus, an excellent example to imitate! Steve’s godly influence in the lives of young people in particular is still felt today as many of them are carrying on in various ministries for the Lord. Throughout his years of service, Steve was a spiritual mentor and cared deeply for individuals, challenging them to serve the Lord first always. Steve went home to be with the Lord in 2019.
