Steve and Michelle serve with the Presbyterian Church at the Evangelical Theological College in Osijek, Croatia. Steve teaches Biblical Studies courses and fills in as needed in a variety of administrative posts. Outside of the seminary, Steve is heavily involved in the life of the Reformed Church in Croatia. The church there has two main projects: restoration of war-damaged churches, homes, and communities, and new church development in Osijek’s old city, Tvrda.

Michelle teaches courses in spiritual formation, communication, human development, and Christian education. Michelle is deeply involved in several activities that are collectively a response to the war. She is a member of the Center for Peace in Osijek, which sponsors conferences and discussions, bringing together people who have been ideologically separated by the war.

Pray for Steve and Michelle and their two sons, Benjamin and Nathaniel, as they continue to minister in war-torn Croatia.
