Pastor Steve leads the Intermountain District Missions (NMI) Team in its mission to reach around the globe and across the street with the transforming story of the love, forgiveness, and hope of Jesus Christ.  NMI exists to equip and resource the church for carrying out its missional purpose both globally and locally through prayer, serving, educating, mobilizing, and sharing the stories of God's faithful work among all people in all places.  The global church needs the local church... and the local church needs the global church.  Steve and his wife Tamara spent almost three years living in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines (while studying at APNTS) and seventeen years serving together as global missionaries for the Church of the Nazarene, where they lived in Indonesia.  Steve is currently serving at Five Mile Church of the Nazarene in Boise, Idaho and Tamara serves with Glocal Community Partners in Boise, Idaho.
