Steve founded and pioneered the work of Missionary Ventures International from 1983 to 2008 with offices in the US, Canada, Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. These offices send mission teams, funds, expertise, aid and relief to over a hundred countries worldwide. He has over 30 years of experience around the globe setting up nonprofit entities in many developing countries and working with indigenous leaders to establish Bible schools, primary schools, vocational educational programs, community development programs, hospitals, clinics, orphanages, feeding centers, and planting thousands of churches each year.

Steve founded The Foundation of Saint Peter, doing business as Foundation for Mission in 2008 and is an interdenominational development organization to leverage funding to bring together government, charities, relief agencies, and churches to focus on making macro effects in developing countries.

This past couple of years have brought some significant challenges for Foundation leadership; Steve’s health, an ongoing challenge in the finances of the mission, the difficulties of fund-raising for the central costs of the Foundation and, more recently, operating in the COVID environment.
