ABOUT STEVE IGO
My chief end is to glorify God & enjoy Him forever (1 Cor 10:31). By grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), I will love God with all my heart & my neighbor as myself (Mt 22:37-40). Because God loved me by sending his son Jesus Christ (Jn 3:16), I will go & make disciples (Mt 28:19-20). I desire to walk worthy of his high calling (Eph 4:1) and one day hear ‘Well done…’ (Mt 25:23). My Ministry Strengths: • Activator – I can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. • Achiever – I have a great deal of stamina for hard work, and take great satisfaction from being busy and productive. • Positivity – I have an overwhelming enthusiasm that is contagious. I am upbeat and can get others excited about what we are going to do. • Maximizer – I love to focus on strengths as a way to stimulate excellence, transforming average or strong into something superb. • Learner – I have a great desire to learn and want to improve continuously. My Ministry Values: • Love – It’s the greatest commandment. When you follow it you can\'t go wrong • People - After God, loving people is an expression of loving God, and so many people have blessed me • Teamwork - I truly ignite when in synch with another person or team • Action - The beauty of truth & wisdom must be displayed through deeds & attitudes • Intense & Passionate - Nothing is worth doing unless done with excellence and excitement • Learn & Grow – Along with saving faith, change & repentance is the instrument of grace and growth • Diversity - The triune God loves diverse people, places and perspectives and so do I • Family - Family lasts a lifetime, providing place and roots
