Steve Ulrich’s architecture career began in Canada, including fifteen years in private practice. On a YWAM missions trip with his family in the Philippines, Steve received an undeniable call from God to serve Him by combining missions and architecture. He found the answer to this call at EMI, joining the EMI team in Colorado in 2000.

In 2002, Steve and his family returned to Canada, where Steve founded the EMI Canada office, serving as Executive Director until 2010. Since then, he’s continued to serve as a project leader and worn many other hats in the Canada office, including an instrumental role in our intern program.

Steve’s extensive experience (he’s been a part of more than 40 projects worldwide), and his passion for EMI’s work and for people, have made him an effective ambassador for EMI wherever he goes. He and his wife, Barb, enjoy life in Calgary, close to their children and four grandchildren.

Thank you, Steve, for 20 years of faithful and fruitful service!

Originally hailing from Vancouver, BC, Greg established his architecture career in private practice for 10 years, always with a heart for mission work.

Greg’s journey with EMI began in 2001, when he volunteered on his first EMI project. After several other EMI trips, Greg and his young family moved to Calgary in 2005, when Greg became EMI Canada’s second full-time staff member. In 2010, Greg assumed the role of Executive Director for EMI Canada, where he continues to serve with great energy and vision. Greg remains active as a project leader, and has been a part of over 30 projects to date.

To those who know him, Greg’s enthusiasm for EMI’s work is evident, as is his desire to see the gospel advance through the work of EMI’s partner ministries. Greg and his wife, Julie, lead an active life in Calgary; and their children reside in Vancouver and Calgary.

Thank you, Greg, for your invaluable contribution to EMI over the years!

From our Cherish Uganda partners:

A Chat with Engineering Ministries International

Brent Phillips, Cherish CEO, sat down with Phil Greene from EMI Uganda to reflect on this incredible partnership.

"It feels funny to call this relationship with EMI a 'partnership' because it sometimes feels like EMI is a part of us. As an organization, we have grown up with EMI by our side, cheering us on. To date, EMI has built countless structures for Cherish... Most importantly, EMI has been like-minded in sharing the love of Jesus diligently over the years... Without EMI, Cherish would not look the same or have been able to grow as fast."
