What’s next for Steve?

Steve and Jasper

Thank you for the encouragement and support of so many people worldwide.

Over 600 people have now watched Michelle’s funeral.

People have been asking, What’s next for Steve? Well, I’m not sure, but I do have a plan.

Between now and Christmas I’m sorting out the legal and financial issues that arise when someone dies. It’s been good to be active without being too busy. And yes, Michelle left me a list to work through! I’m also spending some time with our children and grandchildren in Melbourne and Sydney.

Then on New Year’s Eve, I will fly out to Athens where I’ll be for two months. I have good friends and partners who are based there and serve movements of disciples and churches across the region — North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe. It puts me back in the field learning from and supporting pioneers.

I don’t know yet if I’ll be writing. I don’t know if I’ll be putting out more podcasts. I feel I need to step back a bit and see what God brings to me in this season.

Then I’ll come home via North America visiting ten cities on a tour to promote my book Acts and the Movement of God: From Jerusalem to the Ends of the Earth.

That puts me back in Melbourne around Easter. By then I should be clearer about what God has for me in a new season of life and ministry without Michelle. What won’t change is the calling we shared — multiplying disciples and churches everywhere to the glory of God.
