About
Hi! My name is Don Stephens. I’m a Jesus-follower trying to hold my opinions lightly while He corrects my silly religious ideas about who He is. I’ve been a missionary / teacher / worship leader with Youth With A Mission since 1994. My purpose here at Shadowland is to love people, point them to Jesus, showcase His grace, and declare His Kingdom.
Hey Don!
So good to meet you this weekend! I cannot wait to see how your Kingdom revelation will impact all those who heard it here this weekend, including myself, as we spread out into the world! I hope I get to run into you again in the near future! Keep seeking the Kingdom, and keep carrying His Heart!
Hi Don!
Just to let you know that I am still seeking the KINGDOM, as I have heard and saw in and from you a year and a half ago at Holmsted Manor. That has been like a second revelation to me, after getting to know Yeshua the Messiah. The KINGDOM has opened my eyes to know Him and His ways, to love Him even more, to understand Him better, to get to know myslef and my faith so much in such a deep way. I am excited for a lifetime of discovering more about the Almighty, through His Kingdom, through His message and through everything in life.
Bless you for this wonderful website and for your beautiful attitude!
Ran Muchtar, Israel.
Ran! So good to hear from you! Our conversation at Holmsted went so deep into my heart. When the enemy attacks me for my “excessive focus on the kingdom” the Holy Spirit reminds me of friends like you who have received the message with such joy. And then the encouragement comes to keep on. You’ve got a true Kingdom heart, and I’m convinced a strategic place in the story. Press on, my friend, and DO stay in touch.
Hi Don! You will be visiting my home church this weekend. I appreciate your words above “…while He corrects my silly religious ideas about who He is.” My own purpose seems to be just to hear and obey God’s will so that I can be where He needs me, when He needs me there, with the ability to be His vessel at all times. The rewards are a deep, rich, satisfying living in this world. I want to declare His kingdom everywhere, too! I’m looking forward to hearing your message!
Hey Debbie! I can’t tell you what a delight it was to be with my family at LaVale UMC this past week. Thanks for checking in and for the encouragement!
I wish I could have come to the talks, but it’s finals in school right now. I do the video editing for the church though, so I get to see them as I edit the footage! You are such a compelling speaker – to see the way you’ve obeyed the Lord’s call is powerful!
