Welcome to the Steps to Life Web site. Our name tells all. The whole purpose of our existence is to help as many people in this dying planet to find out how to have physical, mental and spiritual health now and even more importantly to understand what steps they need to take to inherit eternal life in that better land where death, sickness, pain and disappointment will never occur again. Jesus made plain the steps to life in his private interview with Nicodemus where he says (translated to modern colloquial English) God loved the world so much that He gave His One and Only-begotten Son so that whoever commits to Him [as Lord] will not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Steps to Life was founded by Pastor Marshall Grosboll and his wife Lillian. Marshall had been a pastor in Pennsylvania, and Maryland where he had engaged with his churches in public evangelism and also in personal evangelism. In the early 1980's while pastoring in Maryland, with his church he was studying from inspired writings about what we must do to receive the Holy Spirit. They were impressed with this statement: "The great outpouring of the Spirit of God, which lightens the whole earth with His glory, will not come until we have an enlightened people, that know by experience what it means to be laborers together with God. When we have entire, wholehearted consecration to the service of Christ, God will recognize the fact by an outpouring of His Spirit without measure; but this will not be while the largest portion of the church are not laborers together with God." RH July 21, 1896. They immediately began to prepare to help each church member become a "laborer together with God." It was decided to educate the church members to give Bible studies. Marshall could not find a series of Bible studies that he liked which was designed for a person to go into another person's home and give a Bible study. Almost all printed Bible studies were designed for a Bible correspondence school and used simple deductive reasoning and what he wanted was Bible studies that would use inductive reasoning and help the student think through the subject he was studying from his Bible instead of only answering deductive questions. So Marshall designed a set of Bible studies in 3 steps, the first 10 studies about becoming a Christian and the new life in Christ, the second 10 studies about God's last message for our perishing world and the third 10 studies about becoming part of God's remnant people.

In 1986 Marshall was transferred to Wichita, Kansas to pastor a local church. It was during this time that he established the Institute of Ministry in which people learned how to give Bible studies and do personal outreach and public evangelism. In 1987 a television program was developed and started to air on the local television station and a Bible Correspondence School was started which still exists today.

Marshall began to devote full-time to this outreach ministry in 1988 working with several associates from the basement of his home, keeping the name of Steps to Life. Returning from a camp meeting held in Washington state on July 22, 1991, Marshall and his family met with tragedy as the airplane he was piloting went down, killing all aboard including his wife and two young children. Although this was a tragic loss, Steps to Life continues on in the same spirit, reaching many souls throughout the world with the Everlasting Gospel of the Three Angels Messages. To carry on what was started, Marshall's brother Dr. John Grosboll moved to Wichita. He was joined by his sister and brother in law, Ron and Gwen Reeves and their family and their parents. Through their hard work, along with a dedicated staff and the Lord's blessings, Steps to Life has grown to the ministry that it is today.

Today the Steps to Life program with Pastor John Grosboll can be seen and heard on television and radio stations across the United States . Steps to Life has been actively involved with revival and reformation and has been on the forefront of supporting the Home Church Movement throughout the world. A monthly magazine called Land Marks has been in print since August 1993 encouraging all who read its pages to stand by the land marks of the Seventh-day Adventist faith. Currently thousands of issues are mailed to 87 countries on seven continents. Developing from the humble beginnings of a few people working out of a basement into a world-wide ministry, Steps to Life continues to fulfill the gospel commission of preaching the love of Jesus and preparing a people for His soon coming.

An important tool in reaching people with the Three Angels Message is the use of television and radio. With the use of our in-house facilities, we are able to produce Bible based programming presenting the truths of the everlasting gospel and preparing a people for the soon coming of Jesus. We have developed a 52 part, year-long Prophecy Seminar taking the viewers/listeners through the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation and addressing the issues of the beast, the mark of the beast, state of the dead, the Sabbath and many other vital topics of study. We also provide free materials that follow the subject of the program to the viewer/listener who calls or writes our ministry and give them the opportunity to enroll in our free Bible Correspondence School. If you are interested in sponsoring the Steps to Life program on television or radio in your area, please give us a call or email us for more information.

With a Bible Correspondence School and ongoing seminars and public outreach, the work of spreading the Three Angels Message is alive and well in Ghana. Under the direction of Pastor Joseph Class-Peters and with the help of faithful workers, many in the African country of Ghana are learning Bible truths for the first time or hearing the message as never before presented. Always seeking for new ways of reaching the people, Steps to Life-Ghana is busy doing street evangelism in the open markets, holding prophecy and health seminars and recently opened a new Christian Library. Working as a support ministry with the Historic Adventist Church in Ghana, Steps to Life has also established an orphanage and a medical clinic.

As the second coming of Jesus draws nearer each day, the needs of the work increases. As much as Steps to Life would like to fulfill every need presented, we do not have the time or resources to do so. In situations like these we seek the help of fellow believers who are able to work in their part of the world to meet some of these needs. In many cases, if help can be found then Steps to Life will act in a supporting role by either providing the funds or the materials needed for a particular project. With the help of our supporters the proclamation of the Three Angels Messages continues to move forward and God's people are uniting to do a work of preparing a people for Heaven.

We appreciate working with dedicated individuals and ministries such as David Wilson and Bible Alive Ministries located in Zambia, Africa. Here we have been able to air the Steps to Life television program with Bible Alive following up the responses for Bible Studies. We have also had the privilege of helping with the publishing work started by Bible Alive Ministries by helping to partially fund the building of the printing house and the purchase of a printing press and other supplies.

In the South Pacific and Papua New Guinea we have worked closely with others in supporting the work of laymen in this area. We have helped by providing literature, funds for the completion of a printing house and helping the pastors to have better access to those living in remote areas. We are thankful for the opportunity to work with these dedicated people in this part of the world.

In Central and South America the brethren have presented the need for materials in the Spanish language. Steps to Life has teamed up with Cornerstone Publications in sending containers filled with Earth's Final Warning along with other materials. There is a great awakening taking place among the lay people who are very active in passing out literature, public evangelism, and sharing the health message.

Sharing the Three Angels Messages is at the heart of what this ministry is all about. In January 2001 Steps to Life joined up with members of three other ministries and went on a Evangelistic Mission Trip to the country of Congo, Africa. The attendance at the nightly prophecy meetings averaged close to 300 people. Meetings dealing with health and basic hygiene were also presented as well as hands on presentations of organic gardening. In a country where Bibles and other religious materials are in short supply, the people were very happy to receive these items. We are now working closely with the local brethren and helping them in their work of reaching out to the people with the Everlasting Gospel.

These are just a few instances in which Steps to Life has been able to work with others. We also support projects in the Philippines, Romania and India and other places world-wide.

Members of the church stay active in local ministry by sponsoring the Steps to Life television program each Sunday morning and field the responses for free literature and Bible studies. The church also employs a full-time Bible Worker who stays very busy with follow-up work. Each year they hold a Prophecy Seminar and man a booth at the Kansas State Fair in which we have the opportunity to pass out free literature and let people know about our television program and local church.
