About Pastor Steve

Born in Thailand to a family of Catholics, Buddhists, Methodists and Muslims, Steve believed in God but never believed he could know God personally. His education in the US, France and Canada reinforced a very distant philosophy of God. His unbelief broke when the Holy Spirit came and saved his life in a near death experience. He then heard Christians with a Buddhist background tell him of their own search for truth, peace and release from sin and suffering, and how they had found the answer in the Bible.

Initially Steve had felt that he "pretty much knew the Bible," so resisted these sincere people's attempt to show him what they had found. But as they persisted, Steve could not resist the evidence that they were genuinely caring for his soul and evidently had something he did not have. Steve began to take an honest look at the Bible for the first time in his life. He was challenged by its claim in Second Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 that "all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching," that he had been guilty of breaking God's moral laws, and that the Bible forewarns of a Day of Judgment in which "each of us will give an account of himself to God" (Romans 14:12).

From the New Testament, Steve then heard about the Creator God who was willing to come to us, suffer injustice on the Cross, die for the sins of His creation, and prove it all by rising from the dead. Suddenly, God seemed very personal and very real. Broken and repentant, Steve prayed to accept this Savior's forgiveness and to ask Jesus to come live in his heart. A prophecy from the Lord's heart was then spoken over his life, "This one will go to the nations."

On that same day, Steve read the last words of Jesus before He ascended into Heaven, a verse that has become his life mission statement:

"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:15-18)

Since then, Steve has travled to 30 countries to share the gift of Jesus and life-changing truths from the Bible. He does so with an understanding that not everyone comes from a Christian background and many are skeptical of God, just like he was. Yet he ministers with boldness knowing that the same God who rescued him, saved him, and answered his prayers, will do the same for anyone who is willing and open. Many of Steve's meetings are accompanied by healings and miracles, according to Mark chapter 16.

Today Steve is a sought after speaker known for his signature messages on the End Times, Religions of the World, Healing & Health, and Financial Breakthrough. He is also working on a book on Buddhism. Steve and his wife conduct relationship seminars for young married and singles. Steve is happily married to Fe and they reside in Melbourne, Australia.
