"I personally love being with a small group of women or relating one on one. Being with women as they walk and seek answers in their life of faith brings such incredible joy. When I see women grow in their knowledge and life experience with the Lord it is just exciting! God is doing now what He has always done through Stonecroft Ministries—allowing us to share the Gospel with a world which is longing for good news! Today, the need has never been greater."

That's a natural and I enjoy it—but my heart's desire is to share the Gospel with lost people."
Stonecroft's strong commitment to prayer and evangelism resonates with Scott. "I appreciate people wanting to know God's will and seeking it out," he states. "The ministry that God is doing here is a wonderful thing. There are not too many organizations that put the emphasis on evangelism. What Stonecroft is doing is vital to the body of Christ."
