About Steven:
Steven enjoys working with children and young adults (including all his brother and sisters whose ages span 21 years). His heart is that young people would love Christ with all their heart and remain focused on Him and not on the cares of this world. He has worked in many different children’s ministries including several Children’s Institutes, week long children’s programs at homeschool conventions, and one year as a Character Coach at an elementary school. He has worked with Global Encounters in Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. He was home schooled, attended the International Alert Academy, has his Commercial pilots license (SEL) with instrument endorsement and would like to continue flying as a future career. Steven enjoys volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, football, learning Spanish, martial arts training, giving people rides in planes, and cracking jokes now and then.
Steven’s Perspective on International Ministry:
“When I think of going on a short term missions trip, I see the wonderful opportunity that God gives us to minister to people who we would otherwise never come in contact with. I especially enjoy working alongside Christian brothers and sisters who don’t speak my language but have the same desire to serve Christ. I also think of how vital it is that I don’t go with the mentality of doing works for Christ, but instead, let Jesus Christ do His work through me. Not by my abilities and “goodness” but simply Christ. That’s what we are here to share: Christ alone!
“It is so exciting to see Christ work through team members in different ways as they make themselves available for His service with whole-hearted surrender to His will and desires. Some of the most fruitful times for me have been when I was not really prepared with something to say but God gave me something to share. It’s amazing when you take a step back you see it was only Christ Who could have done the work. It is so awesome that God could use “little old me” to give a message that I had no idea I was going to give. God is sooo good! It is essential for all of those who seek to minister for Christ to draw continually closer to Him so that we can effectively be a channel of His love.”
