Destiny Christian Fellowship is excited to welcome Steve Backlund of Bethel Church in Redding, CA on June 23 & 24.
Steve and Wendy Backlund were senior pastors for seventeen years before joining the Bethel Church team in 2008. Ten of those years were spent on the backside of the desert in Central Nevada where they led their church into renewal, significant numerical growth and positively affecting their area.
Then In 2001 Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton called them to be senior leaders at Mountain Chapel in Weaverville, California (the church that Bill led for seventeen years) to continue leading the outpouring there. As a result of these experiences, Steve and Wendy have a special heart for senior leaders of rural and smaller churches. They believe strong local churches are the key to sustaining and increasing the manifestation of this current spiritual awakening.
Steve has written several books, including “Possessing Joy”. He has a unique anointing to release hope and joy and a revelatory teaching gift that creates new wineskins for greater dimensions of God (both personally and corporately).
