REMEMBERING STEVE

   Posted by: pastordiehl   in Uncategorized

Steve Fisher just got promoted and is in heaven with Jesus. He and Donna always sat front and center as close as they could get to me. Steve had a fascinating ability on the dobro and banjo. He was a regular at ministering to older folks in nursing homes all around the area.

When I first met Christ, I was working in a factory in Butler assembling hydraulic pumps. Shortly after my conversion, Steve got saved. He was working at the same factory, and there was a revival spirit sweeping the plant, as each of us shared our faith with co-workers. I was asked to share a few thoughts from the Bible during lunch break. That group grew from two of us to seven or eight sitting together in the shipping area. I shared a daily Bible study with those men for several years, and Steve was a daily regular.

We’ve been friends ever since and he was a great supporter of what God was doing at New Hope. What will you remember about Steve?

He loved God, his family and friends! A man of faith. He’s with the Lord now and probably playing in the band up there, rejoicing and praising Him!

Steve was one caring, loving person. He gave me copies of all of the songs he wrote and sang at the nursing homes and they spoke his heart. Personally, he helped me make a CD of a song I wrote and translated for the Lakota Sioux. He charged me nothing because he caught the spirit of the gift and he wanted to be a part of it. The piece is named “Promises”. I will always remember Steve whenever I play “Promises”.

Donna played a huge part in my husband ending up at New Hope and giving his life to Christ. Donna and Steve were great mentors for Todd after he got saved and have had a special place in Todd’s heart ever since. I will forever be grateful for Steve and Donna. If it weren’t for them my husband might not have ended up at New Hope which is where we met.

I had the privilege of signing with him and Donna in the nursing home ministry for around a year, I really enjoyed it. He would pass out song books with the old gospel songs which included several he had written. It was a great experience. Rest in peace Steve, we shall see you on the great shores of Heaven.
