Bright Light Ministries

 

Many trials hit Stacie Ruth and Carrie Beth Stoelting at a young age: They faced tough times with Alzheimer's, sudden deaths, health problems, and witnessing a vehicular homicide. Rather than shrink, Stacie Ruth and Carrie Beth grew in their faith and their hearts grew for hurting people. Today, Stacie Ruth and Carrie Beth stay vivacious and contagious for their Lord Jesus Christ! They obviously love Him and want others to know Him, too. Stacie's evangelism with enthusiasm evidenced itself when she was a little girl facing trials: She was only seven years old when her writing and moving testimony was read aloud by Dr. Schuller on his show, The Hour of Power. At 15, Stacie Ruth wrote her first book, Still Holding Hands, endorsed by celebrities and leaders. (The list includes Randy Travis, Shirley Jones, Senator Grassley, Joe Bonsall of the Oak Ridge Boys, etc.) At 17, she founded Bright Light Ministry. Her “almost twin” sister, Carrie Beth, later joined the ministry and also is a speaker and singer. Together, they are ushers: They speak and sing to usher others closer to Christ! As a recording artist and worship leader, Stacie Ruth coined the term “pray-singing” because she prays while she sings. Carrie Beth and Stacie Ruth are classically trained, have been compared to Judy Garland (according to Des Moines Sunday Register), and use their 3 1/2 octave ranges to give God glory. By God's grace, Stacie Ruth has spoken/sung for Presidential Nominee (Senator) John McCain, President George W. Bush, and First Lady Laura Bush, Senate Majority Leader (Frist), celebrities, & more. With Grammy-winners, Stacie Ruth and her sister, Carrie Beth, cut a CD (to be released Fall 2008). Stacie shares Jesus' love, joy, and compassion as a 700 Club columnist, LifeWay keynote speaker, and author/contributing author to books published by Tyndale, David C. Cook, Howard, and more. She is a member of advanced/high-profile writer, speaker, and editor groups such as AWSA (Advanced Writers & Speakers Association), ACFW, Pearl Girls, Advanced Writers View, Snapdragon Editorial Group etc. For both girls, it's all about Jesus and allowing Him to speak. They desire their words to promote the Word! Their deepest desire is that others accept His love, too. International TV and live audiences love Carrie and Stacie's messages and music. Audiences leave with a bounce in their steps and a joy-filled song in their hearts. Come to an event and receive the bright light of Jesus as He shines through Stacie Ruth and Carrie Beth! It's contagious! Schedule a conference, keynote, or concert today.
