Steve Bray

I was born in Newfoundland and grew up both in Harbour Grace and St. John's. I'm married to my childhood sweetheart Debbie, and we have been blessed with 3 children and an ever growing number of grandchildren.

I have served as the lead Elder of Calvary Baptist Church since 2015 and as the director for Mile One Mission since 2019. My heart is to see men and women trained for the work of the ministry and to see churches planted throughout my province.

Steve Dawe

Education & Development Director

I am from in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and have been working with Mile One Mission since it began.

I also serve as an elder for Calvary Baptist. My desire is to see the culture of Newfoundland and Labrador rejuvenated as people are transformed through saving faith in Jesus Christ.

I am from Stouffville, Ontario. My husband Paul and I were married in 1997 and moved to Newfoundland in 1998.

We have been a part of the Calvary family for over 20 years and I have been a part of Mile One since it began in 2019. I am passionate to see the younger generation of men and women trained and equipped.
