The Beginning
Steve was saved in October 1990 and from that time was called and anointed by God to live like Jesus lived and do what Jesus did. Through the next 30+ years he did almost every type of ministry possible which was to prepare him for today.
The Call to the Poor Children of the World Came in 2006
While listening to an audio CD by Jennifer Toledo Miller, Steve's heart was broken by God for the poor and hurting children of the world. The CD was "The Weeping Room" by Jennifer Toledo Miller.
Children's Life International was Birthed in 2011
In 2011 Steve (an American) and Phoebe (a Filipino at the time) were married in the Philippines and they began to go out to minister to the poor children in the different areas they lived.
Children's Life International was birthed out of seeing the great need of the poor children and their families in the Philippines and they wanting to do all they could to help them.

Phoebe
Phoebe who is from the Philippines originally and became a US citizen in 2020 She grew up with parents who were Bible college teachers and pastors. She has been ministering to the needs of children, teaching and leading worship since around 1997. She has amazing favor with and a powerful love for children that causes them to gravitate to her everywhere she goes. Because of her deep and intimate relationship with Jesus, her worship always has His presence upon it, and everyone is touched and experiences His great love for them.
It is through our blessed marriage which is two people working as one who both have a deep love and passion for Jesus and desire to give it away to poor children and their families, along with our different God given talents, gifts and life experiences that allows this ministry to do what it does.
