Who We Are

Stephen and Kim’s journeys to Christ were very different, yet both were marked by searching, surrender, and the transforming grace of God. After years of running from the Lord, Stephen gave his life to Christ in his early thirties after hearing the Gospel through Christian radio. God soon ignited a passion for missions that led him to Guatemala in 2014 and into mission leadership by 2017. Kim spent much of her life searching for fulfillment through various religious experiences while carrying a deep sense of emptiness. Although she worked to build a meaningful life and raise her family in church, true peace remained elusive until God gradually softened her heart through faith, missions, and personal surrender. A life-changing mission trip to Kenya in 2017, followed by ministry opportunities in Guatemala, became part of God's healing work in her life. In her lowest season, Kim fully surrendered to Christ, discovering that only He could fill the emptiness she had carried for so many years.

​

As God worked in their individual lives, He was also transforming their marriage. After years of navigating the effects of past wounds and unmet expectations, Stephen and Kim committed to placing Christ at the center of their relationship. Through prayer, discipleship, and marriage ministry, God prepared them for a greater calling. What began in 2019 as a personal mission trip to Guatemala became an opportunity to teach biblical marriage and family principles in communities facing broken homes, absent fathers, and generational challenges. Over the next four years, they ministered to hundreds of couples across seven communities, sharing the hope, healing, and restoration found in Christ.

​

As they continued walking in obedience to God's leading, He opened doors for even greater opportunities to serve. What began with strengthening marriages and families expanded into ministries that reflect Christ's love in both word and action. Through the Bible Club Ministry, children are introduced to God's Word and encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. God also provided opportunities through the Vision Ministry, helping meet vision needs in rural communities, and the Bunk Bed Ministry, providing children with a safe and comfortable place to sleep while demonstrating the love and compassion of Christ.

​

Recognizing God's clear calling and provision, Stephen and Kim founded Seeds of Grace Missions in 2025 to share the Gospel throughout Guatemala. Their mission is rooted in a simple truth: when lives are transformed by Jesus Christ, families are strengthened, communities are impacted, and God's Kingdom grows. Through discipleship, evangelism, and compassionate service, Seeds of Grace Missions seeks to reflect the love of Christ and make Him known wherever He leads.
