We were privileged to know Steve &Judy In the 1970’s when Steve landed in the Uk with a group from USA and the FGBMFI Uk was born - Steve’s unbounded enthusiasm was instrumental in the launch of our first meetings and the eventual establishment of over 200 chapters in the UK - His amazing humility and total reliance on his Lord for guiding him in and out of Russia in a truly miraculous way is legendary- Thank you Steve for your faithfulness - we will never forget you - take your crown and wear it with pride! 👑 - Peter & Anna Yates -

Having had the privilege by the grace of God to know Stephen Lightle from 1974, and oftentime working together with him both inFull Gospel Business Mens International on the European leadership level, and later also enjoying rich times of fellowship with him in Operation Exodus and International Christian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC), I wish to honor him and his memory. Stephen Lightle was a unique and annointed instrument in the pruposes of the Lord for our time. Eternity we will reveal the rich fruit of his humble walk in obedience to God's calling. I give thanks to the Lord for Stephen and for the glorious impact he has had on my life. To God be all the glory! -
