John & Joyce Steers

ISI Monterey Staff

Email: jsteers@isiwebnet.net

John & Joyce have been coming along side international students through ISI-Monterey for 18 years and John has been on staff with ISI since 2006. They have both invested their own time, energy and lives into many international students over the years.  With five (grown) children of their own, many of these internationals have become just like (grown) sons and daughters to them, remaining in close contact even after leaving Monterey.

Passion:  God, Jesus, the great outdoors and all things international.

Result: Living lives for Jesus, loving others with His heart and taking great joy in sharing that love with others.
