Stefan Schmid grew up in Germany with missional minded parents who planted churches. His theological teaching came at the dinner table where his father would nightly share scripture with the family and pray. Stefan had a heart after God and a desire to make an impact in His kingdom. Through various ministry opportunities, Stefan and his family eventually moved to East Texas to serve with Mercy Ships at the International Support Center. Stefan serves as the Field Service Coordinator where he gets to train and equip new crew before they go on board our ships. Stefan has been volunteering with Mercy Ships for 22 years and in this episode he shares how God is using his gifts to encourage and challenge crew. He tells stories of God’s miraculous provision during field practices and how prayer is the key to unleash God’s power. You will be deeply encouraged by this man as he testifies to God’s goodness.
