In 1995, after having portrayed the part of Jesus for 15 years in Central Assembly of God’s Easter musicals, Stephen was asked to be a part of a musical drama based on the Book of Ruth, in Israel. That was a life-changing event. For nine years, he continued performing biblical plays in Israel. In 2000, he lived in Israel for a total of seven months, performing plays for five of those months. During this time his gifts were stretched to include all facets of production such as writing, editing, re-writing scripts, costuming, casting, set construction, etc.
Stephen is a singer/songwriter and has two CDs of songs he has written to share his faith.
