We’ve been blessed to know Steve Marquez for several years, and to have him speak at our church a couple times. The Lord has done a powerful work in Steve and his family, and it comes through in his teaching and ministry. What I like most about Steve is that he not only comes to teach, but he spends time with people. While some in our congregation can directly relate to Steve’s experiences, others have different trials, but all have found him uplifting.

On several occasions Steve Marquez has spoken at the church I pastor. I’ve known him over the years before and since he has battled with cancer. I am so excited for his starting stage 4 ministries, because it definitely will be a connecting point and dispersement of comfort to many who feel overwhelmed with diagnosis and treatment.

I’m looking forward to sending people Steve’s way, and to stage 4 ministries. I plan on making an ongoing use of this needful ministry, to help people on their tough journey.

Look at and navigate through the stage 4 website and familiarize yourself with this emerging ministry that can be at the forefront of hope, comfort and Christian encouragement.

Where do you send people to give them an extra boost during this unwanted cancer season? Stage 4 Ministries! Pastor Steve Marquez is a man with real empathy, growing out of his current and ongoing battle with his own stage 4.

I highly recommend this pastor and his ministry, you’ll be in good hands as you receive from it.

Pastor Steve delivered a challenging message. He shared his remarkable life story of God’s grace and faithfulness. Intertwining his testimony with the Word of God brought a greater impact on the congregation.

We praise God for him and his family’s unwavering commitment to each other and to God, during this trial. It was encouraging to hear how the family experienced God’s powerful hand in a very tangible way, in today’s time. His testimony reminded us of the importance of serving God, despite our ailments, as apostle Paul continued to serve God. The Word of the Lord is true, when it says, “Is there anything too hard for the Lord” (Gen. 18:14; cf. Jer. 32:27).

Our whole congregation of CC La Palma was touched by what was shared and it reminded everyone of the importance of trusting in the Lord, in little and big things. The waves will come, but the Master is close by and can be called upon to calm the storm. We will continue to pray to have God’s healing hand on Pastor Steve’s life. May God’s divine strength continue to be magnified in his life. We pray that many more will be able to hear God’s message through him.
