Daniel & Barbara Stephan

Fueled by a passion to reach underserved youth and the nations, Daniel moved into the newly created role of District Manager, Clarkston, GA in July 2025. Often referred to as the ‘most diverse square mile in America’, Clarkston is a government-sanctioned refugee resettlement community with residents from over 65 countries. For the past four years, Push The Rock has served at Camp Encounter, a 6-week summer camp hosted by Clarkston International Bible Church (CIBC). Now with the opportunity to have a year-round Push The Rock ministry in Clarkston, Daniel will partner closely with CIBC to use sports to share the gospel with young people and families in the area.

Daniel, his wife Babi, and two children Mariah and Isaac recently moved to Clarkston, following God’s call to serve there. Prior to this role, Daniel served as Director of Push The Rock Italy.  Daniel joined the Push The Rock staff in 2016 and was the director of PTR Brazil and AECA prior to moving to Italy in 2023.  Before joining Push The Rock, Daniel was a bank manager, a personal trainer, and worked in the import /export business. Daniel has a BA in Physical Education from Faculdade de Ciências Humanas (FCH) and a Leadership Biblical Training degree from Word of Life Bible Institute (WOLBI) – Hungary.

Daniel and Babi are excited as to how God will continue to use them and the power of sports to impact the world for Jesus!

“Working with underprivileged children has been my heart’s calling for many years. In Clarkston, we have an amazing opportunity to reach underserved and unreached people groups.”
