Pastor Dan Stratton, a university graduate and former football star, moved to New York and built a successful career on the trading floor of the commodities exchange. While working in New York, Dan met his wife, Ann, and was introduced to the uncompromised Word of God and the lifestyle of faith. This led him to start a Bible study in his office called The Faith Exchange (which would eventually grow into a full-fledged church). Then, in 1987, God rained favor and prosperity on the Stratton family when Dan experienced a miraculous trading day that took them to the next level in their finances. Since that day, their ministry has grown extensively. God has used the Strattons to reach thousands upon thousands of people with the same uncompromised Word that met him all those years ago!
