Steve Peifer,Gregg Lewis
A Dream So Big, is the story of Steve Peifer, a corporate manager who once oversaw 9,000 computer software consultants, who today helps provide daily lunches for over 20,000 Kenyan school children in thirty-five national public schools, and maintains solar-powered computer labs at twenty rural African schools.,Steve and his wife, Nancy, were enjoying a successful management career with one of Americaâ€™s high tech corporate giants during the dot-com boom of the 1990â€™s when, in 1997, he and his wife Nancy discovered they were pregnant with their third child. Tragically, doctors said a chromosomal condition left their baby â€œincompatible with life.â€ The Peifers only spent 8 days with baby Stephen before he died.,Seeking to flee the pain, Steve and Nancy began a pilgrimage that thrust them into a third-world setting where daily life was often defined by tragedyâ€”drought, disease, poverty, hunger, and death. They didnâ€™t arrive in the service of any divine calling, but the truth of their surroundings spoke to their troubled hearts. A short-term, 12-month mission assignment as dorm parents for a Kenyan boarding school turned this ordinary man into the most unlikely internationally recognized hero, and his story will inspire you to pursue similar lives of service.
