Steven K. Mickelson was born in Sioux Rapids, Iowa
to Roger and Ruth Mickelson. Roger and Ruth are now retired farmers
and still live on the family farm just north of Storm Lake, Iowa.
Music has always been an integral part of Steve's life since the age
of 3 when he started singing with his family's group. He became a
Christian at the age of nine during a Gospel concert given at his
home church in Rembrandt, Iowa. He was actively involved with music
all through his elementary, high school, and college years. He even
met his future wife in a choir called Cardinal Keynotes at Iowa
State University. Since college, Steve has been singing gospel music
with men's quartets for over twenty years. It has been a pleasure
for Steve to sing Gospel music with men who are so committed to
Christ, their families, their churches, and to the Higher Power
ministry.
Steve is the Associate Chair for the Department of Agricultural and
Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University, where he has been
employed for the past 25 years. He conducts research in surface
water quality related to agricultural best management practices and
teaches courses in engineering computer graphics, engineering
design, and water quality systems. Steve currently lives in the
country close to Kelley, Iowa.

Scripture:
Hebrews 4:15-16--For we do not
have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore draw near with
confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may
find grace to help in time of need.
