Jeanie Marie Steadman, a native of Shreveport, Louisiana, USA,  lives in Lagoa Santa, in the state of Minas Gerais (greater metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte) in Brazil.   

     A 1982/83 graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, she also holds a Doctorate of Theology from the Transworld Accrediting Commission, Riverside, California in the United States of America, (http://www.transworldaccrediting.com)  and is licensed and ordained through Word of Life Ministries under the covering of Pastor Sam M. Carr at Life United Church in Shreveport, LA. 

     In Brazil, she is ordained through Rhema Bible School Brazil under the leadership of Guto Emerson and Jan Wright (and her late husband, Bud Wright) who founded Rhema Brazil over 35 years ago.

     In full-time ministry for more than 30 years, she has served and trained people in all areas of local church ministry. She was the director of Word of Life School of Ministry for seven years in Shreveport, LA, an extension of Life United Church in Shreveport.  

     As a great privilege, she received training in "Principles of Church Growth" in both South Korea and in the United States, under the leadership of a team of church-growth specialists, trained by Pastor David Yonggi Cho, Yoiddo Full-Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea. She has studied Hebrew and Middle Eastern culture and biblical archeology in Israel and Egypt under the tutelage of Christ for the Nations, Dallas, Texas, summer program. 

     For more than 20 years now, Jeanie has obeyed the Lord's calling to Brazil, being part of an outpouring of the Spirit whereby the “Word of Faith” is running swiftly across the nation without precedent.  Her ministry, Ministério Voz de Cura, crosses denominational lines as she has worked with most all leading protestant, charismatic, and neo-Pentecostal denominations.  

     She hosts prayer and healing schools and is a professor at some of the leading seminaries in the nation, as well as holding conferences and seminars.  Jeanie was the first female foreign minister to host a daily Christian broadcast in the city of Juiz de Fora in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where her programs focused exclusively on word of faith principles, revival and the glory of God. Her meetings are frequently accompanied by prophetic song and worship that creates a tangible presence of God, whereby many sick and oppressed are set free. Many Brazilians have commented that her ministry comes in “like a refreshing breeze” where the presence of God manifests in refreshing, healing and deliverance.

     A primary focus of Ministerial Voz de Cura has been promoting healing schools in local churches which are accompanied by miraculous healings and deliverances.  Another facet of focus in recent years has been Times of Refreshing for Pastors, where pastors from all denominations come together to receive encouragement from God’s presence.  

Having spread the word of life across the nation for 20 years, God has now led her to establish a missions base in Lagoa Santa from which to minister healing to the public and equip the Body of Christ to carry His healing presence to the nation.  

     Since 1984, her mission’s travels have led her to more than 15 nations,  including: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Brazil, Philippines, South Korea, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Australia, Israel, Egypt, Tanzania and now Brazil, where she not only does personal missions work but has led and trained numerous teams in practical missions.
