Steve served as Executive Director from SALT’s beginning in 1996 until the end of June, 2020. After relocating to the US, he continues to serve as a consultant, and assists with development and organizational fundraising. After 10 years as a church planter in Asia, Steve’s focus changed to equipping active and mature church leaders who had no suitable resources to teach and train the next generation of Asia’s church leaders. In June, 2020, Steve passed on the baton of leadership to an experienced and motivated national staff team.
