Meet Stephen + Jenny Bell

Stephen and Jenny Bell live in Springfield, Ohio with their four amazing children—Jasmine, Judah, Savannah, and Scarlett. They met and married while serving at a missions training base with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Chico, California. Over the years, they’ve had the privilege of sharing the gospel in 12 nations and witnessing countless lives transformed by the extravagant love of God. With more than 20 years of leadership experience in missions, pastoral care, and pioneering ministry schools, Stephen and Jenny are passionate about equipping the Body of Christ for everyday impact. In 2023, they launched Legacy Ministries—a nonprofit organization created to host citywide worship nights and empower believers to live out their faith with boldness and purpose. Stephen is a public speaker and the author of Revolutionized by Grace and Victorious Disciples. Together, he and Jenny carry a deep desire to see the Church awakened to the Father’s love, walking confidently in their royal identity and spiritual authority. Their lives are marked by a deep hunger for the presence of Jesus, the renewal of the mind, and the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. Their vision is rooted in Habakkuk 2:14—“to see the earth filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea”— through the living, breathing Church: the temple of God.

Our Journey Into Legacy Ministries

We met and got married while serving in missions with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) from 2000–2007. During that time, our hearts burned with passion to see the glory of Jesus fill the nations. We both completed a Discipleship Training School (DTS), helped lead three more, and witnessed firsthand the transformative power of intentional, Spirit-led discipleship—not only in others, but in our own lives. As we served, a vision began to form in our hearts: what if we could take what we learned in YWAM and bring it into the local church? We began to ask God, “What would it look like to equip and empower believers right where they are—to live fully alive in Christ and impact their workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and even the nations?” We believed then—and still believe now—that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they know Jesus lives inside them. In 2007, the Lord led us to step away from YWAM, and in 2008, we moved to Springfield, Ohio. There, we helped plant two ministry training schools with local churches and again saw lives transformed. But we still carried a dream: to launch something long-term and sustainable— something that would bring lasting kingdom impact and leave a legacy for generations to come. Nearly twenty years after first dreaming with God at YWAM, Legacy Ministries was born!We’ve started small—building relationships with local pastors and leaders, hosting citywide worship nights, and leading both online and in-person training workshops. Our long-term vision is to partner with key local churches to launch a discipleship and equipping school and lead short-term mission trips each year. We also have a deep passion to serve local pastors and ministry leaders through leadership coaching, discipleship initiatives, and an annual Leaders Conference to bring refreshment and encouragement. It’s a humbling and exciting thing to steward a vision that’s bigger than us—one that we believe will echo into eternity and impact generations we may never see.

Action Steps:

Work alongside local church’s and gather the Body of Christ to pursue the presence of Jesus and the movement of His Spirit in worship, partner with Him in breakthrough prophetic prayer and equip believers to impact the world around them.

4 pillars:

• God is revealed as a loving and good Father through Jesus Christ. In Christ alone is salvation, healing and deliverance from all forms of darkness. God is good!

• The blood of Jesus paid for everything. We are forgiven of ALL our sins and made a new creation in him. This is the good news we declare to the world around us.

• Anything is possible because Jesus is the standard for the Christian life. All of the gifts (expressions) of the Spirit and miracles are for today.

• All people are created in the image of God and have value. God the Father came to restore identity, value and purpose in and through his Son Jesus.
