Steve grew up in Cuba and Ecuador where his parents were missionaries. At 18 he came back to the U.S. for college. However, his identification with his Hispanic upbringing has never left him. He went on to become a church planter with the Presbyterian Church in America and planted churches in Arkansas, Nebraska, Texas, and Washington State. In his mid 50’s Steve returned to the Little Rock, Arkansas area and became aware of the pressing need for affordable immigration services that the growing Hispanic population had. This led to the formation of a non-profit corporation that has had as its primary purpose to keep immigrant families together and reunite them with loved ones. A guiding verse for Steve was Matthew 5:16, “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
