Pastor Carl H. Stevens began a preaching ministry that spanned four decades in the 1950s. Through the years and by the grace of God, Pastor Stevens revealed a deep love for the Word of God, sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and a great heart for people. To the glory of God, his ministry of investing and training men and women in the Bible has made an impact throughout North America and across the world.

Pastor Stevens passed into eternity on June 3, 2008, from congestive heart failure. During his later years, Pastor faced struggled related to Alzheimer’s disease, hip and back pain, pneumonia, and heart troubles.

Early in his ministry, Pastor Stevens was an active member of the Gideons and the Youth for Christ organizations in Maine. His prayerful habits to study and to evangelize helped him in the establishment of thriving churches in Maine, Massachusetts, and Maryland. He was also among the pioneers in Christian talk radio with the “Telephone Time” and “Grace Hour” programs. He has spent more than 40 years answering Bible questions and counseling those in need of help over the airwaves of North America and throughout the world via short-wave and the Internet.

During his messages, it was not uncommon for Pastor Stevens to quote between 50 and 100 Scripture references. In his lifetime, we have seen this ministry expand from a small country church in Maine to a ministry that has evangelized and made disciples in parts of all the world.

In 1972, Pastor Stevens launched Northeast School of the Bible to train men and women in the Word of God and to raise up missionaries who would go into all the world. His vision of sending out teams of laborers proved very effective and contributed much to the ministry’s missionary success.

In 1976 the ministry relocated in Lenox, Massachusetts, where it established the Stevens School of the Bible.  During this period, trained people were sent to many different countries to evangelize, plant churches and establish Bible Schools. The ministry then moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in the Summer of 1987 and established Maryland Bible College and Seminary. There are now GGWO churches in 60 countries in the world with 110 extension schools, orphanages, Christian day schools and other works - all of which represent the wisdom of God's work of grace.
