Phil Strout

Phil Strout is the Sr. Pastor of the Pathway Vineyard Church of Lewiston, Maine. Phil and Jan responded to the invitation of the Lord of the Harvest nearly 30 years ago. Their journey has been an exciting adventure of faith. Beginning in the 70's and through the 80's they served God together in both evangelistic efforts and church planting in South America. It was in the southern islands of Chile that Phil met the Vineyard and John Wimber via cassette. The Holy Spirit made it clear to Phil, "This is your tribe."

The 90's found the Strouts with their two children Aaron and Jenna, back in the states. Both church planting and the nations continued to be a passionate pursuit. Phil worked with the churches of New England in the development and founding of IAM (now "MVM" for Maine Vineyard Missions), a local church-based missions' partnership. These churches united in a joint missional challenge to see a church planting movement in the Basque region of Spain. In the spring of '93, Phil and Jan lead a team to Portland, Maine to plant a Vineyard in Maine's largest city. They resigned from VCF of Greater Portland after eight years and worked full time with Vineyard USA on church mobilization toward the nations. He also traveled widely among the Vineyards with the "Father's Heart for the Nations" seminar.

Phil is a current board member of Vineyard USA and serves as Regional Overseer for the Eastern Region churches.
