Steve’s favorite thing is hanging out and meeting people! He loves to listen to and to learn people's stories, seeing God’s evident love and pursuit woven into each story.

He loves telling them Bible stories and watching their eyes get wide with “what will happen next?” Steve and wife Martha spent nearly 20 years in ministry in Central Europe because they both love learning about and being with people from other cultures.

Christian grew up in West Bend, WI.  Son to first generation immigrants from the Philippines, he was taught from an early age the love of Jesus.  His mother was a piano teacher and Christian began classical training in piano at the age of four.  She also modeled how to use your talents to serve the Lord as she led worship and directed choirs. After the death of his mother, his life did not resemble the life of a Christian. God began to put people in his life that would slowly begin to bring Christian back to Him, beginning with his wife, Melissa.  Christian began to realize that Jesus and the good news of the Gospel was what was missing in his life and dedicated his life back to the Lord, culminating in his baptism in 2020.  Along with his love for Jesus, he also rediscovered his passion for music worship and discipling others through song.  In his free time, Christian enjoys spending time with his three sons, Ronan, Cole & Dario, discipling youth involved in Torch, and playing basketball.
