Our guest is hospice spiritual counselor, Steve Bundi.

Pastor Steve Bundi is a versatile minister whose journey spans diverse roles and continents. His early ministry included stints in Nairobi as a Colporteur with the Bible Society of Kenya, and in Eldoret as an Assistant Chaplain of a regional college. Expanding his horizons, Pastor Steve pursued a Bachelor of Theology from Bugema University in Uganda, where he deepened his understanding of theology while also serving as the Minister of Religious Affairs in the Student Guild.

Later, he returned to Nairobi where he completed a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Nairobi, while serving as a TV preacher and presenter on a national Christian channel and as an Associate Pastor of a large congregation in Nairobi, Kenya.

His quest for knowledge led him to pursue a Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA. He graduated in 2020 amidst the unprecedented challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, which included the global closure of churches. These challenges catalyzed his calling into spiritual care within the Healthcare Industry, beginning with Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at Self Regional Healthcare in Greenwood, South Carolina.

Pastor Steve’s journey in the United States has seen him serve in various capacities, including as a Hospice, Hospital, and Call Center Chaplain. Currently, he serves as a Volunteer Coordinator and Chaplain at Puget Sound Home Health and Hospice, where he continues to touch lives with compassion and empathy. Prior to this, he served as a Spiritual Counselor with Hospice of the Northwest in Mt. Vernon and Walla Walla Hospice in Washington.

Pastor Steve’s ministry has brought solace and comfort to many individuals and families facing the end-of-life journey. His commitment to service extends beyond traditional settings, as evidenced by his engagements as a guest speaker in churches, universities, schools, prisons, family gatherings, and corporate functions. With his wife Ninah, he is raising two daughters while also planting a new church called Seattle Sabbath Fellowship.

In summary, Pastor Steve Bundi’s journey exemplifies dedication, resilience, and a deep-rooted commitment to serving others. Through his multifaceted ministry spanning continents, he continues to impact lives with compassion and empathy, bringing hope and comfort to those in need, and inspiring others to follow a path of service and faith.
