Growing up as a missionary kid in Tokyo, Japan, Steve Hoke committed to lifelong involvement in world evangelization at a young age. Through college, several church ministries, and grad school, he realized his gifting was as an encourager and teacher. In serving as a missions professor and director of campus ministries at Seattle Pacific University, director of field training for World Vision International, president of LIFE Ministries (Japan), and then as vice president of training of Church Resource Ministries (CRM), his gift mix has been confirmed. He is a Barnabas, not a barnstorming church planter like Paul.
Steve's passion is to help raise up the next generation of mission leaders from churches across North America and the world, and to see that they are effective in their roles as intercultural servant-leaders.

As president of Taylor Global Consult, Bill mentors and serves the CRUX Institute, an innovative Spanish-language apologetics platform.
