Missionary Steven DrostSteven, son of T. Wynn and Wanda Drost, and Danita, daughter of Ron and Joy Hanscom, were both raised on the mission field. So it was a natural decision to continue on with this calling when they met and married in Bible college. Two weeks after marrying, they drove to Mexico to begin their time on the Associates In Missions program. God blessed their ministry as well as their family. They founded a work in Mexico City and from that church, many other daughter works were started. Steve became the national youth director as well as holding positions on the district board. Their family increased by two, Rachel Joy (1992) and Sarah Faye (1994). Knowing this was a lifetime commitment they applied for a career missionary appointment in October 1997. After completing deputation they returned to Mexico, settling on the northern border in Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Steve became the district superintendent of the Tamaulipas district. Also at that time, the national assembly voted him in as national secretary of the United Pentecostal Church of Mexico and Danita served as the national Sunday school director. Tamaulipas grew and is now one of the strongest districts in the United Pentecostal Church of Mexico. Their family also increased by one in 2003 when Caleb Wynn was born on his daddy’s birthday. After serving the Tamaulipas District for fourteen years the national council asked Steven and Danita if they would consider moving to the city of Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco. After completing their third deputation they moved their family to Guadalajara in November 2010. Steve was elected the superintendent of the Oeste district (Jalisco and Colima) as well as the Pacifico district (Nayarit). In March 2018 a new district was formed, Mar de Cortes, (Baja California south and Sinaloa), and Steve was also made superintendent of that district to allow time to develop leaders in that area. Steve is also the national director of education, overseeing our various Bible schools throughout the country. Danita now serves as the national ladies director of the United Pentecostal Church of Mexico.

In this dialogue, Raymond Woodward, an experienced Pentecostal preacher, dives deeply into the essence of holiness and sanctification. He argues that holiness is often overlooked in modern churches, despite its importance in the Christian faith. Woodward discusses how salvation and sanctification are intertwined, emphasizing that true holiness must be demonstrated outwardly. He highlights the journey of spiritual growth as progress, not perfection, and insists that holiness stems from a loving relationship with God rather than mere rules, ultimately encouraging a life empowered by the Holy Spirit.
