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 ministries. They currently live in the city of Loja.

On July 1, 2025, Steve and Hannah began serving the OMS Ecuador team and national partners as field directors. In this role, they provide leadership, care, and support to their teammates and partners as they help carry out the OMS mission in Ecuador.

In November 2023, they joined 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 vulnerable individuals with the Gospel through a human trafficking prevention ministry.

From 2017 to 2023, Steve served as the Ecuador field treasurer, overseeing budgets, reports, reimbursements, and projects for the OMS team and national partners.  In 2023, many of these responsibilities were handed over to our national accountant. However, he continues to have some involvement in it as it relates to field leadership, as supervisor to the treasurer, and as the primary contact for the Finance Department of 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 to understand that God loves them and 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 an OMS 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.
