Author:

• "Gifts of the Spirit"   by Lee Stoneking, copyright 1975, which enjoys a wide circulation throughout the world;  has been and is being translated into foreign languages in several countries.

Presently working on second book (an autobiography) for the encouragement of young people.

Much of  Rev Stoneking's ministry has been directed toward young people. Uppermost in his thinking is that it is better to build children than to repair men and in the words of J. Edgar Hoover, "If you want to change the world, change one generation."   It only takes one generation to lose the truth.  It does not take two or three generations. If this generation of young people do not see the Apostolic demonstration  of the Spirit and Power of God, then it is lost to future generations.  

This understanding causes the major thrust of his ministry to be toward young people, conducting as many as 15 Single's Conferences per year, plus national travel, and Foreign Missionary Crusades.
