Leo passed away Dec 1, 2012

Leo was born May 19th 1961 in Phoenix, Arizona.  Leo married Tamara Fields Schreven in 1983 and they made their home in Kettle Falls for the past 23 years.

Leo served as an evangelist in the Seventh-day Adventist Church for 30 years. His ministry touched the lives of countless thousands around the world and he will be remembered as a dynamic preacher who helped people find Jesus as their Savior. His All Power seminars have blessed multitudes and his DVDs and sermons will continue to benefit future generations.

Leo loved camping, boating, hiking, reading, horses and time with his family. Leo is survived by his wife Tamara, daughter Cierra, parents Leonardus and Johanna, brothers John, Herman, sister Nellie, their spouses and children.

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, no sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.  Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’  And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’” Revelation 21:4, 5

“He was known for his dynamic speaking style and emphasis on personal development and financial growth based on biblical principles.”

  1. I met Leo only a few years ago, but he touched and inspired me in such a way that I felt I had known him all my life. Truly, a man that had a great purpose and a mission on planet earth that I was blessed to share with him. I became shocked at his passing away and was compelled to dedicate this web-site to Leo that would honour him for the man that could “Walk The Talk” and inspire others to do the same.

    We spoke on many occasions discussing how the Lord brought us together to preach the message of the good news to as many people as possible. As an entrepreneur of 30 years, I have developed excellent public speaking skills, however it was obvious that our union would see Leo deliver his message as the bright star that he was, and I was to assist him.

    With my print and postal background, we talked about about providing ordinary christians with free pamphlets every week that they could deliver to 1,000 homes in their area. These pamphlets would be paid and sponsored by local business owners to penetrate all households. Area by area Gods message would be delivered in your local community and grow worldwide to deliver God’s message around the globe. We called it the “Walk4God” ministry.

    This ministry for the ordinary christian would allow you to go online and choose the message you want. The printed pamphlets would then arrive at your doorstep ready for you to deliver to every home in your 1,000 pocket, every week. Your ministry to local householders would promote the local christian community and preach the message of Jesus.

    Though delayed through our life’s circumstances, I do not wish our vision and plans to come to nothing. I wish to hold onto the inspired thoughts we shared and make them a reality.

    Acts 20:24
    However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
    New International Version (NIV)

    If you wish to join me and Leo’s good spirit in fulfilling this mission and vision, then contact me at pk@mailpost.com.auand I will contact you with further information.

    God Bless Leo Schreven

  2. I was cleaning out my library and today was considering whether or not to donate Leo’s book (Cowboys Make Better Preachers) to a young person at church. Leo was a member of the first Adventis church I belonged to, shortly after I became an Adventist. Before giving it away, I decided to see if Leo was still with the evangelistic ministry, so keyed his name into the computer. I’m happy to hear that he has been doing it for 30 years, and very sorry to hear of his death. I know it was no accident that I found his page at this time, so that I could send my condolences to his family. I will be praying that God will give you all comfort in the days to come.
    In Jesus’ name,

  3. This is such a shock for many and complete sorrow for me, I liked Leo’s personality and his book called Cowboys make better Preachers that I sent a copy all the way to Uganda East Africa to an orphange called Jesus saves the chiildren Uganda for Samuel Ssengooba Mujabi and ministry ther.
    I met him and Tammy back in 1992 and was rebaptised at the Victoria, B.C. Church. I brought friends to his All Power seminar including business people too. !!! I loved him on Facebook and loved his idea of a commercial for the football game.!!!!
    I love Tammy’s voice singing and the talent they had together, his romance with her was a delight to listen to him and his conversion story !!!
    The truth of his passing breaks my heart and I feel soooo much for his children and wife. Thanks be to Jesus whom Leo served for many years is a compliment of the highest for the salvation and knowledge of Jesus is the best answer for times like these. To bow to our Lord on bended knee with true thanks for knowing Leo and all he did for Jesus and each one of us.

I will never stop praying for his family and have very happy memories and even liked seeing his interview on the Austraila broadcast. Did he ever vist It is Written in Canada ?

I am blessed beyond measure to be a third generation Seventh Day Adventsit.

  4. It is alredy the 29th of December and I am just now learning of Leo’s passing. I met Leo 7 years ago at his prophesy seminar. I was not an Adventist at the time, but the LORD used him to bring me, my mom, and my wife to the church and truth. My children are heavily involved in our local church. The LORD used him mightily.
