The Life of Dr. Ernie Steury
By Gregg Lewis
Ernie Steury's remarkable life and ministry as a medical
missionary in Tenwek, Kenya, is recounted in this compelling
biography. A humble Indiana farm boy, Ernie built one of the
most successful medical mission facilities in the world. Ernie's
influence, however, went beyond tending to physical needs. Not
content merely to heal bodies, Ernie sought to change lives as
well through the ministry of the Gospel. Through the story of
Ernie Steury, readers will be inspired to follow his example as
dedicated servants of a loving, living God who is anxious to
show the world what great things He can accomplish with an
individual totally committed to Him.

The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has
become my salvation.”
