Children Ministry – Stefanie Cunha

As a young child Stefanie knew there was one thing she wanted to do when she grew up; teach. At the age of 12 she felt a call on her life to work with children around the world as a missionary. After High School, Stefanie attended the Faculté Saint-Jean (U of A) where she took her Bachelors of Education. Stefanie participated in various short term missions’ trips which took her to Eastern Canada, Europe and South America. Upon returning from her third trip to Brazil, she enrolled at Taylor Seminary where she took her Masters in Intercultural Studies. It was during this time that she began attending Carisma Pentecostal Church. Supported by Carisma, Stefanie travelled twice to Benguela, Angola to work with the church there, as well as, with street children. It was during her second trip that she met her future husband, João. They were married in July 2004. Stefanie continues to teach full-time in the Logos program in Sherwood Park. She and her husband are both involved in ministry at Carisma Church.
