"Equipping individuals with hope, joy, and divine strategies for success". Igniting Hope Ministries was founded by Steve and Wendy Backlund for the purpose of equipping individuals with hope, joy, and divine strategies for personal breakthrough and increased influence. Their message comes from personal victories over hopelessness, perfectionism, and discouragement that were a result of believing lies instead of truth. Through revelatory and interactive teaching, they release biblical wisdom that unlocks minds and hearts to embrace truth, resulting in transformed lives (Romans12:2). Since 2005, Steve and Wendy have written 13 books collectively; they also travel to many churches and ministries worldwide to spread the message of hope, joy, and victorious mindsets. Steve and Wendy are passionate about the Church, developing leaders, and igniting hope and joy.
