Steve is a native of the Southwest, born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, but his roots are firmly planted in Missouri.  His mother's family is from southern Missouri and he spent many a summer playing on the 40 acres his grandfather farmed.  His father's family was from the Fulton - Reform area, and he has fond memories from there as well.  Some of the family even lived in the Saint Charles area and there are many cousins spread out over the area.
Mary - Steve's wife and co-worker is from Springfield area and they met in the Mansfield area at a school called Mt Zion.
As a ministry team Steve and Mary have labored in Missouri, Belize (Central America), Kansas, Mississippi, and are now back in Missouri.  Steve has also been to a mission work in Haiti.
While in Kansas they were joined by Carissa - who for the last 13 yrs has made life interesting for them.
Steve loves Mexican Food, good stories, and good fellowship.  He believes that if there is no greater happiness than is found in fellowship with Jesus Christ and with those who are brothers and sisters in Christ.  He appreciates the opportunity that God has given him to be part of the workforce extending the gospel of Jesus Christ and is always seeking better ways to serve Him.
