Early in his walk with the Lord, Steve had an ability to see the gold in people and had a passion to help them discover and draw out that gold, that purpose, that reason that God had created them. While at Impact Church, Steve developed a Purpose and Destiny Discovery program. He led the Church’s leadership through the program on the corporate, church level, redefining and clearly articulating Impact Church’s Mission, Vision and Values. This process totally revolutionized the church and set the stage for Steve to personalize the material. He began to lead, first his leadership team, and then other tiers of the church, through the Purpose and Destiny Discovery Program on an individual basis.
Steve’s heart has always been and will always be for people to embrace, nurture and realize their God-given purposes. He has ministered to leaders in India, Kenya and Central America, helping leaders to discover their identity, embrace their purpose and walk out their destiny. Steve is also a certified Destiny Finder coach.
