• Central Houston team leader and regional missionary
• Started with SPSE in 2015
Stefan has been with SPSE for 5 years and has gathered a team of about six evangelists along with an intercessory prayer team. You can find them evangelizing each month in a downtown Houston park. Stefan has also worked with the SPSE National Office on projects such as the revised edition of the SPSE Street Evangelization Handbook.
How has God worked in and through your SPSE team?
God has taught me so much through this team and ministry – about being bold when talking to people about Christ, about confronting my fears and presumptions, about vulnerability and transparency, about how surprisingly open random strangers are to talking about spiritual matters, sometimes even sharing the deep wounds and secrets of their heart. It has been an amazing blessing to minister to people through this ministry.
What is the relationship between evangelization and your spiritual life (prayer)?
In evangelism, if there is no prayer, NOTHING HAPPENS! This is the work of the Holy Spirit, first and foremost. No one person can carry the burden of prayer alone; I've found it is essential to build a network of folks to lift up the team in prayer. Then, after an outing, I communicate the encounters we've had that day with our prayer team, and ask them to continue praying for the needs of the individuals we've encountered, and ask God's continuing work in their lives.
