About Me
Born August 18, 1951, Jeff Steinberg faced life with little hope - He has no arms and malformed legs. His mother did not know about his disabilities until he was 17 months old; she did not see him until he was almost two years old, in a childrens shelter. He spent much of his early years in hospitals, including Shriners' Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, PA, where he underwent orthopedic surgery, learned to walk with a brace and was fitted with his first prosthetic arm. At age nine, Jeff was placed into The Good Shepherd Home for the Physically Handicapped in Allentown, PA, where he lived until he was 19 years old.Through the love of a local Christian couple, Jeff, a young Jewish boy met his Messiah and discovered the truth that became the foundation of his life: "...I am fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)Jeff Steinberg is a Masterpiece In Progress - And he wants you to know it! He sees his disabilities as assets, not liabilities. Jeff is a singer, Evangelist, author and a humorist. ." For more than 35 years he has crisscrossed the globe delivering his very special message that that a real handicap is "anything that keeps me from being or becoming all that God created me to be." In his distinctive style, using humor, song and the Scriptures Jeff shows us that each person is wonderfully created in "God's unique design," with potential they never even dreamed possible.He has shared his message with audiences around the country, performing for television, businesses, schools, churches, and hospitals. Jeff was a co-host on a Television Special, called "The Best You Can Be...The Handicapped Hall of Fame." He was co-host for this entertaining and informative Special along with disability rights advocate, Mary Nemec Doremus. He has performed on "The Variety Club Telethon" with host Monte Hall, both in the US and CANADA; He appeared on "The National Easter Seal Telethon" with host Pat Boone, from Hollywood, California for seven years; and was co-host on the "Memphis Easter Seal Telethon" for four years; and for the first annual "Lehigh Valley Easter Seal Telethon," in 1990 which raised more than $250,000.00 to help people with disabilities. Especially memorable was performing at a rally with Mother Teresa of Calcutta during her 1989 U.S. visit.

She speaks to the needs of folks who are hurting, along with the concerns of single parent families. Ellen also speaks on the subject of Prayer.

An important part of this very special Ministry, she teaches a renewed message of faith, prayer, trust in The Lord; and how The Church can be effective in these contemporary areas of Ministry.Jeff Steinberg has recorded several Cassettes & CD's projects including, "Masterpiece in Progress," "Tiny Giant" and his new Video Live In Concert!!
