My name is Stephen, I grew up as the son of missionaries in the tropical highlands on the island of Papua New Guinea. Spending my childhood roaming misty hills and playing in winding rivers has established in me a deep love of our Father’s abiding peace and joy. In 2014, I moved to the US and spent many years discovering his presence in this country through the people and mountains of southern Arizona. In 2022 I moved to the Charlotte area with my wife, Micheala.

Jehovah Rapha (the Lord who heals) is one of my favorite names of God in Scripture. Through the touch of Christ in my own body and life, I have experienced radical healing and wholeness in all parts of my being. As I have received, I seek to freely give. I have spent my life since practicing the graces God has given me, both in community and in street settings. God’s Love for the diverse body of his people is strong in my heart, and I desire for all to find their place, unified in him. It is my privilege to join alongside you and journey towards wholeness in Jesus.
