Steve and Susan Woodrow
Steve and Susan bring a combined four decades of international ministry, pastoral care, and strategic outreach to the Board. Steve, a graduate of Central Bible College with a B.A. in Psychology, began his career as a lead counselor for Teen Challenge, specializing in addiction recovery and criminal rehabilitation.
Susan, a graduate of Syracuse University with a degree in Interior Design, spent her early years navigating a global upbringing as the daughter of a U.S. Air Force officer. Together, they served as Assemblies of God missionaries in Belgium, where they provided vital leadership for an international campus church and student outreach at the world’s oldest Catholic university.
Throughout their tenure in Oklahoma, the couple has balanced professional careers with a deep-seated commitment to restorative ministry. Steve has spent nearly twenty years in prison outreach, serving at the Davis Correctional Facility and the Avalon work release program, while also founding a "Living Free" recovery chapter that mentored dozens of men through emotional trauma and addiction. Susan’s ministry has been equally foundational, ranging from teaching and leading women’s groups to providing high-level Partner Care at Renner Ministries. Her unique background in design and her experience in international ministry operations provide her with a keen eye on both the aesthetic and relational aspects of organizational health.
Currently, Steve manages order fulfillment for Renner Ministries, while Susan continues to influence the community through home-group leadership and women’s mentorship. Their shared journey—marked by resilience, a passion for the broken, and a commitment to the power of the Gospel—allows them to offer grounded, compassionate leadership and hope to those they serve.

Today, Steve and Susan serve on the Board for Redeeming Love Prison Ministry, where they provide visionary oversight for front-line efforts to reach the incarcerated.
