Rob & Stephanie Trautman
California City, CA
Rob and Stephanie are member missionaries sent out from Hampton Park. Saved at nineteen while stationed overseas, Rob was called by God to full-time ministry and went to Christian college to train. The Lord allowed Rob to meet Stephanie there, and they were married July 31, 1999. God used the events of 9/11, as well as Rob’s being an Air Force reservist, getting activated, and being sent on deployment overseas, to call both Rob and Stephanie to military ministry. They believe God has called them to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our men and women in uniform.
The Troutmans moved to California City, CA, to work out of Victory Baptist Church. Rob is the Assistant pastor, and Stephanie is the church pianist. Rob’s main responsibility is military ministry. He works as the director of the Bancroft Manor Serviceman’s center, a ministry of VBC, and he volunteers every Friday night at Higher Grounds Internet Café at Edwards Air Force Base. As an Air Force reservist, Rob also conducts Bible studies down at March Air Reserve Base when he is on weekend duty. Stephanie teaches Sunday school and junior church. She also organizes the nursery schedule, works as a leader in the youth club, and directs the men’s duet. She provides meals in their home every week for military members after the morning service at church.
Rob and Stephanie have two children: Adeline and Robbie.
