Christina Stewart founded Impact Nations with her husband Steve in 2005. Her passions include teaching, empowering, and releasing people to discover that they can impact the world for the Kingdom. She loves both pastoring our international partners and finding the disadvantaged and providing opportunities for lasting change. In recent years her focus has increasingly been on rescuing women out of prostitution, bringing restoration, healing, and the reality of their new future in Jesus. In 2022 she shifted into the new role of Director of Women’s Development after being the Director of Journeys of Compassion since 2008, facilitating journeys to about 20 developing nations. These trips empower others to rescue lives and transform communities through medical clinics, the distribution of water filters, evangelism, and healing prayer. She has led teams into prisons, garbage dumps, tribal villages, and urban slums.

Steve Stewart is the founder and president of Impact Nations. As a young married man, Steve encountered Christ in 1976; his life immediately and radically changed. Years of church ministry later, in 2003, Steve had an encounter that changed his life’s direction. While flying home from Korea, he sensed the Lord come near to him and asked, “What do you want to do with the rest of your life? I will let you do anything.” Steve’s response was, “If I can do anything, then with the rest of my life I want to rescue lives: spiritually, supernaturally, economically, medically, educationally.”

From that encounter was birthed Impact Nations.

He oversees the daily operations, working closely with the Impact Nations staff and international partners to ensure that projects and ongoing programs are carried out with efficiency and integrity. He shares Impact Nations’ conviction that the gospel has the power to transform every part of life. While serving as a missionary in the Philippines 15 years ago, and now with Impact Nations, Tim has seen first-hand the transformative nature of the Kingdom of God, as the poor encounter Christ through healing, counseling, feeding programs, and skills and business development. Prior to moving to Albuquerque to join the Impact Nations team in 2017, Tim spent six years in the corporate world, training future leaders for Canada’s largest tire retailer. He is excited to put his experience to use in the Kingdom, raising up effective leaders throughout the developing world who are rescuing the vulnerable in their own communities. Tim and his wife, Bethany, are passionate about raising their three children to love Jesus and reflect His beauty to the world around them.

Craig is a Salvation Army Officer who has a deep hunger for encounters of God. Married to Danni with 3 children (Judah, Ilisha and Malachi), he got wrecked by encounters of the Holy Spirit during the Toronto blessing in 1998 and the grace of Evangelist emerged on his life. As The Australian Eastern Territorial Evangelist he has been training and equipping The Salvation Army in the ministry of evangelism across the country. He and his wife were appointed managers of The Salvos “Dooralong Transformation Centre” (addictions treatment centre) between 2013-2017 where they saw “the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (first time salvations) every day for more than 18 months.

Craig is currently appointed across the central coast responsible New Expressions of The Salvation Army, and is released by his apostolic divisional leader to pursue whatever God puts on his heart – how blessed is that!
