About Us
For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
1 Thessalonians 1:5
Core Values
Evangelism
Evangelism is the heart of LOLI – from stadium crusades to divine appointments one-on-one. Nothing is more important than people encountering the Lord Jesus Christ!
Salvation, miracles, deliverance and being baptized with the fire of the Holy Spirit are the divine response to hungry hearts. There is power in the Name of Jesus!
Compassion
Jesus loves people! Meeting the needs of the poor, hurting and forgotten is a huge part of the LOLI vision. From providing groceries and ice creams in remote villages to giving out teddy bears and big hugs to children in orphanages and hospitals, we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
Transformation
Prayer changes things! The prayer of Jesus was that we would be one even as He was one with the Father. Prayer, humility, unity, these things touch the heart of the Father. It is our desire to see lasting transformation in families, churches, communities – and even nations.
Destiny
Serving Jesus will change your life. From working with the poor to serving in a large crusade, to connecting with other believers and participating in Holy Spirit led team devotions – you will not return home the same!
God has a destiny for your life. Our heart’s desire is for you to grasp a bigger vision of who God is, and a larger understanding of what He can do in your life. There is nothing like life with Jesus!

Our Story
Serving with love
Light of Life International started in 2004, after Stephen and Alisa returned to Texas. Having served as the personal assistant to Reinhard Bonnke, Stephen had seen the Africa crusades first hand and had a fire burning in his heart to do the same. Surprisingly, the call came – not to Africa or places where Stephen and Alisa had contacts – but to Latin America. Growing into citywide evangelism certainly brought its challenges along the way, but 63 crusades later the Lord Jesus has demonstrated His great faithfulness and power over and over again
The journey has also been marked by encounters with children and families in poverty. As a teenager, Alisa had dreams of being surrounded by children on the mission field and Stephen served on his dad’s church staff as the director of global missions. It should be no surprise then that LOLI seeks out creative ways to minister to the needs of people. From providing groceries and ice cream in remote and impoverished neighborhoods to giving huge teddy bears to children in hospitals and orphanages, compassion makes up a huge part of the LOLI vision. We are so thankful for the first 21 years of ministry in Honduras, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. We are in awe of the power and love of Jesus Christ to save, heal, and transform lives. And as long as we can, we look forward to taking His Gospel even further!
