Who are we?
We're not the main stage -- Jesus is! We're just a family of 3 who came to God with open hands and the willingness to say yes.
God asked us to leave Ohio and move to Mazatlán, Mexico to serve with Shoulder to Shoulder. Though leaving jobs and roots and friends is hard, there's no place we'd rather be than the center of God's will, putting his kingdom work on the main stage.
Paul has been a pastor, programmer, and loves Ohio sports. He builds and repairs guitars, and likes to play them, too.
As a missionary with STS, Paul will utilize all of his skills and experience to help local Mexican churches thrive.
Stephanie is a licensed mental health therapist, and desires to bring the love of Christ into each of her sessions. She
plays the violin and wins all the board games we play as a family. In Mazatlán, Stephanie will use her experience in counseling
to help Mexican pastors and their families focus on Christ.
Jack loves legos, meeting new friends, and listening to music. As a family, we love to be outside or playing board games or music. Life is always an adventure, especially with 3 dogs!
Ohio to Mazatlán
Shoulder to Shoulder
Based in Mazatlán, Mexico, STS exists to serve, empower and equip local pastors and churches. Our vision is to see healthy pastors and thriving churches all across Mexico. We do this through the ministries of our Pastoral Center, Missions Teams, and Safe Zone. God is moving in Mexico, and STS is on the front lines of helping pastors and churches make Jesus make sense in their communities.
