‍“We have seen God move in amazing ways over the last few years. It is incredible all that He has done. But we are not satisfied. There are still so many who are being destroyed by the lies of the world. This is not a time to settle. This is a time to stretch, strengthen, and have faith for more. Time to put a stake in the ground and see what God has in store for us in 2026!”

From streets and clubs to classrooms and gatherings, young leaders stepped into secular culture with courage, proclaiming Jesus where He’s rarely heard and creating space for honest, spiritual conversations with a generation far from the Church.

In 2025, Steiger:

• Spread across 272 cities worldwide
• Saw 233 MVMTs and 39 City Teams active across the globe
• Proclaimed the Gospel in person to 100,976 people, inviting them to respond
• Engaged 13,961 new or not-yet believers in Bible studies or follow-up gatherings
• Equipped 21,398 young people through Steiger Impact events, trips, or intensive trainings
• Hosted 55,765 participants in live online or in-person church training events
• Trained 173 students from 24 countries at the Steiger Missions School, raising up the next generation of missional leaders
• Graduated 122 Burning Arrows from Steiger Year One, sending them back to their cities to impact their generation

God moved in young people, stirring a holy dissatisfaction in their hearts that drove them to bring the hope of Jesus to their generation. These are “burning arrows,” dedicated to transforming their cities with the Gospel.

Debora was one of them. Raised in a Christian home, she grew up around faith, but for years, God felt distant, defined more by rules than relationship. Everything changed when she first visited the Steiger International Center in Germany as a teenager. In the middle of a difficult season, she encountered something unexpected: family. She saw people serving Jesus with joy, freedom, and authenticity, and there she discovered that Jesus is not religion, but relationship. That encounter reignited her faith and planted a clear call to missions in her heart.

‍

From that point on, a fire was sparked in Debora. She returned to Steiger whenever she could, served with No Longer Music, joined outreaches and conferences, and eventually attended the Steiger Missions School. God stirred a deep love for the lost and a boldness to step outside her comfort zone. In December 2025, Debora joined the pioneering Steiger team to Saudi Arabia, breaking new ground for the Gospel alongside 11 other Burning Arrows from around the world.

“Through Steiger, I truly found my calling. Now I have a heart for the lost, and it is such a blessing. God always provides and takes care of us, and it brings peace to know that this is true. It’s His promise, and I’ve learned it through this mission.” — Debora, Steiger missionary from Serbia.

Sergio from Colombia, Kasija from Croatia, and Vanya from Ukraine are three more Burning Arrows God raised up last year. Check out our 2025 recap video to learn more about their stories!

All of this—lives changed, cities reached, and young leaders stepping out in bold faith—was made possible because of your support and prayer. Behind every story is a community of partners who prayed, gave, and believed that the Gospel still belongs in public spaces. Thank you for standing with us!
