How does Steve fit in?

International Teams Canada’s vision is to help the church be all they can be.  My role is to help International Teams Canada be all they can be.

I do this within my area of expertise — graphic design, video production, software & systems development.  By developing training and promotional resources, we can more effectively help the church.  By developing back-office software systems, I can help our office staff to be more effective in their individual ministries.

And as we all become more effective, Jesus Christ is made known to more people, and more lives are transformed by His power!

We also hope to work more closely with our own church as they become more strategic in their mission involvement.

IT Canada’s Vision

To be a catalytic force in the establishment of 100 multiplying Global Mission Churches in Canada by 2016

At IT Canada, we love the local church. It’s the body of Christ, and his bride. And at IT we’re committed to the church “owning” the Great Commission.

It’s not just a matter of getting more missionaries. IT Canada wants to see more Canadian churches discovering and living out their own unique vision for global mission. When the church catches a vision, the strategy follows... teams, interns, career missionaries, global partnerships.

God has a great plan for each church, and we want to help churches discover and live out that great plan.

If becoming a Global Mission Church is a compelling vision for your future, then join us on the journey.

What is a Global Mission Church?

A GMC is a Canadian church that is:

1. Strategic in its mission initiative


2. Mobilizing multiple teams, interns, career missionaries and mission consultants


3. Adopting a global mission and “owning” the ministry. Along with local initiatives that mirror global connections, and strong financial backing for both these initiatives


4. Multiplying itself, through networks. It is empowered and, training other churches in global mission.
