Location: Slovakia, Eurasia

Ministry Focus: Steve serves as the Regional Director for PAOC International Missions in Eurasia. He oversees and empowers 60 amazing PAOC Global Workers engaged in “extending the Kingdom and serving the peoples” in 15 nations from Siberia to Spain, England to Israel.

Steve’s passion is developing a healthy and effective team of leaders, churches and colleges to see revival come to Eurasia. Patti focuses on fighting for social justice in the region, organizing humanitarian aid, and caring for Global Workers, national partners, and women in ministry. With an area spanning twelve time zones and a population of 742 million… including millions of Muslims, Jews, atheists and nominal Christians… reaching Eurasia is a big job… and they would love your help!

Acts 16:10 “We went to work at once getting things ready. All the pieces had come together. We knew now for sure that God had called us to preach the good news to the Europeans.” (The Message) 

Ministry History: Steve and Patti served as pastors in Montreal and Edmonton for 8 years and then at Vanguard College for 22 years, where Steve was the President from 2002 to 2015. From 1990 to 2015 they led short term missions teams to Eastern Europe every summer, eventually becoming Regional Director for PAOC missions in Eurasia in 2015. They are based in Bratislava, Slovakia, where they have two lovely adopted daughters and six wonderful grandchildren.
