Steve & Janice Schirmer
Silk Road Catalyst
Steve has served in various missionary capacities for 25 years, while Janice has served for 26. After Janice’s years of ministry in Europe and their time together in China, Steve launched Silk Road Catalyst in October 2013.
Geographically, our focus centers on Asia and the Middle East—the historic Silk Road region. As the Silk Road Catalyst family, our shared mission is to deliver the gospel and plant reproducible churches where they least exist.
Steve provides leadership to our global team, spearheads expansion into new areas, develops strategic partnerships, and collaborates with the global Church—especially with congregations in the Majority World—to mobilize and engage them in serving to end gospel deprivation.
Janice serves as our Director of Member Care, offering vital support and guidance to our missionaries, partners, and missionary kids around the world.
