Steve and Hannah Skinner

One Mission Society accepted Steve and Hannah Skinner in November 2012 as missionaries to Ecuador. They have served in Ecuador since 2015 and have been involved in several different ministries.

In November 2023, they began ministering with HOPE61, the human trafficking prevention ministry of OMS. In Ecuador, they work with the OMS team, national partners, associations, and churches to raise awareness, equip the church, and reach the vulnerable with the Gospel through human trafficking prevention ministry.

Steve served as the Ecuador field treasurer from 2017-2023, but he handed that responsibility over to our national accountant. He continues to have some involvement in the finances of the field as supervisor to the treasurer and as the primary contact for the Finance Department at the OMS Headquarters.

For several years, Steve and Hannah ministered weekly to a group of teenage girls (ages 13-17) at a privately run rehabilitation center. It was a fulfilling ministry and they saw God working in powerful ways with these girls by helping them forgive themselves and others, by helping them understand that God loves them, and by helping them understand that they have value and significance.

In 2015-2016, they served as coordinators of the OMS guesthouse in Quito, Ecuador, and with earthquake relief in Manta, Ecuador.

Steve is a missionary kid, born and raised in Ecuador. He graduated from Bethel College (Indiana) in 2000 with a degree in business administration. He previously worked as an insurance agent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for 10 years.

Hannah was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Her grandpa was the pastor of First Christian Union Church, where she attended growing up. It is also the church Steve’s mom attended when she was growing up. That church supported Steve’s family as missionaries for many years. Hannah worked as a hairdresser in Fort Wayne for 12 years and continues to use those skills to bless many people in Ecuador.

Steve and Hannah are members of First Missionary Church in Fort Wayne, IN, where they have attended since 2005.
