Pastor Steven is 59 years old and has been married to his wife Rebecca for 29 years. Together, they have six children.
In 1986, Pastor Steven trusted Christ as his Savior and has been pastoring since 1991. He is At the time of the original testimony, an overseer and a pastor of pastors. He, himself, pastors the Balawoli Center for Evangelism Church, which is a congregation of 300 members.
His greatest limitation has been the lack of formal education in his life. He dropped out of school at a very young age because his parents couldn’t raise the tuition money to send him to school. Although this became one of his greatest disadvantages in the ministry, it hasn’t stopped him from reaching out to his community.
His greatest desire is to use his training to equip his congregation and the other pastors under him. In the next generation, he wants the ministry and its legacy to be more rooted and established in the Lord.
His annual income is $1,700 and, as such, he never could have afforded this type of training on his own.

RPI's goat project is one of the practical ways we are developing our Vocational / Sustainability / Discipleship Program. Through raising and caring for goats, we are creating opportunities for pastors to learn valuable agricultural skills that can help them better provide for their families.
The project continues to grow, with new baby goats being born at RPI! As the herd grows, so does the potential for this project to benefit more pastors and their families.
Our goal is to equip pastors with practical knowledge and sustainable opportunities that can strengthen their families and communities while allowing them to continue faithfully serving in ministry.

RPI's relationship with pastors continues beyond their initial biblical training. Through ongoing discipleship, encouragement, follow-up, and opportunities for practical sustainability training, participating pastors can continue growing as leaders while working toward stronger families, churches, and ministries.
