Meet Pastor Steve Cioccolanti
A Global Voice for Biblical Truth and Transformation
“Faith is following instructions before you obtain results.”Pastor Steve Cioccolanti
A Journey of Encounter and Calling
Born in Bangkok, Thailand, to a family that encompassed Buddhism, Catholicism, Methodism, and Islam, Pastor Steve was immersed in diverse spiritual traditions from an early age. This multicultural heritage sparked a deep and sincere curiosity about the nature of God and the meaning of truth.
After spending time abroad, Pastor Steve returned to Thailand — a nation deeply rooted in Buddhism — where he experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. This wasn't merely a shift in beliefs; it was a profound spiritual awakening that redefined his purpose and direction. From that moment on, he dedicated his life to sharing the truth he discovered with others seeking clarity, peace, and eternal hope.
His personal journey from Eastern spirituality to the transformative power of biblical Christianity is vividly captured in his bestselling book, From Buddha to Jesus, now translated into several languages. This profound spiritual turning point marked the beginning of his lifelong commitment to share the truth of Christ and spread the Gospel around the world.
