The Journey of Steve and April McEvoy to Restored Foundations
Steve and his wife April found themselves in a place of desperation in the early 1990’s. Steve wrote a letter to God and cried out to Him seeing no end to their struggle. God answered the cry, rescued them and put them in a new place. God opened His Word and began a journey of transformation in their lives. They quickly discovered that the answers that they needed were found in the written Word of God and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. God restored their broken foundations.
January 3rd, 1995 the Holy Spirit spoke to Steve and showed him that the answer that he received was to become their new found calling. It became Steve and April’s new purpose for living. That purpose was to take the rescue that God worked in them and simply give it away. This is what they are doing today. Giving away what God has given to them. It is the calling upon Steve and April to help others connect with God in such a way that He is able to restore their broken foundations as well.
“Having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together is growing into a holy temple in the Lord.” (Eph. 2:20-21)
Foundation of SMMI
Jesus directed Steve and April to birth Steve McEvoy Ministries International. SMMI is an Apostolic Resource for the Body of Christ. SMMI is founded upon the principle of bringing the teaching ministry of Jesus, through God’s Word, to ministry and business leaders alike to assist them in establishing Biblical foundations within their sphere of influence. It is a part of the mandate of SMMI to help leaders to catch God’s vision for them, and to assist them in their activation to see that vision fulfilled.
The calling that Steve and April have received is not possible to be achieved by them alone. They stand as overseers of a mandate that is centered upon the whole body of Christ. Steve and April have a vision of:
“A remnant of God’s people, healed and whole, working together in unity to reveal the glory of God over all the Earth.”
Join Us!
Perhaps God is calling you to join them in being a partner to the great things that He is doing. Even greater things are yet ahead as God builds a kingdom team that work together to see His glory revealed.
Steve and April welcome you to join them in becoming part of the family that God is raising up, all working together to see God’s people:
“Healed and made whole, working together in unity to reveal the glory of God over all the Earth.”
The Mission
Activating God’s People to Fulfill His Call On Their Lives.
“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the Body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-12)
God has given five ministry gifts to serve the Body of Christ. These gifts work in harmony with each other to raise up the ministries (the people) to fulfill the mandate that God has given them to do. Steve McEvoy Ministries International was born in the heart of Steve and April McEvoy with an apostolic mission committed to “Activating God’s people to fulfill His call on their lives.” God has called Steve, April and their team to apostolically serve His body throughout the world.
What We Are Committed To:
- Working in partnership with other Ephesians ministry gifts (leaders) who hunger to see the glory of God revealed on the Earth.
- Serving God’s people who hunger for the presence of God to be revealed in their lives and in their churches.
- Helping release members of the Body of Christ into their place of God-given ministry.
- Standing firm upon the written Word of God while partnering with Holy Spirit in the release of all of His gifts as revealed in the Word.
What We Do:
We TEACH God’s Word
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by
the Word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)
We TEACH God’s Word
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)
Faith enables us to connect with God and receive all the promises that He has for us. God’s Word contains the authority and power to cause faith to arise in our heart. We teach God’s Word so that people can grow into the fullness of God’s plan for their life.
We TRAIN God’s principles
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)
The Word of God contains God’s kingdom principles that apply to every area of our lives. We train God’s principles so that the kingdom of God is able to be released in all walks of life.
We ASSIST God’s leaders
So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hands down, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other... (Exodus 17:11-12)
God’s leaders are called to stand in the gap on behalf of God’s people. As leaders lead the body forward, they also work to equip God’s people so they can be activated into their place of calling. As leaders do this work, they suffer great attacks from the enemy. Steve McEvoy Ministries holds up the arms of God’s leaders and assists them in fulfilling the call that God has placed upon their lives.
Prophetic Declaration
The enemy has warred and tried to stop God’s children from rising up in the uniqueness that He has for their lives. The battle lines have been drawn and it is now a call to war. It is the time to see God’s people released into the fulness of His plan for their lives. This is your time to take your place in the Body of Christ to help build the plans and purposes that God has for His Church.
It is therefore our mission to do our part and help, “Activate God’s people to fulfill His call on their lives” and see the Glory of God manifest upon the Earth.
Call To Partnership
We invite you to pray and ask God if you are called in any way to partner with Steve McEvoy Ministries International. As God raises up individuals who are called to partner through prayer or finance, we increase in the work that we are able to do in serving the Body of Christ."In order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the Church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 3:10)

About CMA
With everything we say and do here at CMA, nothing is more important than for you to hear the sound of our heart in why we do what we do. Our earthly fathers, men of great faith and heritage, encountered an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a way that forever changed their lives and ministries. The desire to walk in what God was doing among them, created many challenges.
Many denominations they were part of did not embrace the current outpouring of the Spirit the same way they had. This led our fathers to make a difficult choice to embark on a journey into the unknown future. Their heart was to walk in a unity without division, so they began to meet together as like minded ministers for mutual encouragement.
Core Values of CMA
Some of CMA’s Core Values are:
- Posture is more important than position.
- Presences is more important than papers.
- Leaders are more important than laws.
- Hoisting your sail is more important than hoisting our flag.
In everything that we do together in serving the Body of Christ, we are intentional about serving and supporting the values that put Christ at the Centre in all relationships.
