| "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot |
Keith was born in 1971 to Bryan and Cheri Stensaas who were religious
but lost. While serving in the U.S. Navy, Bryan Stensaas heard the
Gospel for the very first time in Rota, Spain and trusted Christ as his
Savior. He later returned to the mission field, ministering to the military
in Spain, Germany, and Italy. While living in Italy, Keith trusted Christ
as his Savior at the age of fifteen. In 1989 the Lord called Keith to
preach while watching the film "Sheffey". At the same time, he
surrendered to the mission field wherever the Lord may lead him. He
attended Oklahoma Baptist College where he met and married Sally
Ward. After 18 months of deputation, they arrived in Uganda in February
of 1996. They served in Mbarara for one year with Keith’s parents
before moving to Masaka, where God has enabled them to start six
churches, a FM Christian radio station, and a Bible College.
Born in 1972, Sally was the fifth and last child born to her parents, Willis
and Pat Ward. While attending the Christian school of their church, Sally
trusted Christ as her Savior at nine years of age. During her teen years,
she was very involved in the music program by playing the piano for
various singing groups and also giving piano lessons. While working for
a year before Oklahoma Baptist College, Sally enrolled in a Bible
correspondence college and graduated from both colleges in 1993 before
marrying Keith Stensaas. Shane joined the family in March of 1995,
being the only American-born child in their family. Stanley, Shae-Lynn,
Shiloh, Skyler and Savannah are five more blessings that God gave to
their family while in Uganda.
