Mattheus's

journey

Born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Mattheus began his career as a maritime officer at Mercy Ships but everything changed the day he stepped into a slum in South Africa with YWAM. It was there the Holy Spirit gripped his heart, and Mattheus left everything behind to follow the call of God into full-time missions.

From war zones to stadiums, villages to capital cities, Mattheus has carried the Gospel with signs, wonders, and power. In 1999, he brought humanitarian aid and the love of Jesus to war-torn Kosovo alongside Derek Prince Ministries. Mattheus became if the first missionaries for Derek Prince. Since then, he has seen hundreds of thousands saved, healed, and transformed across the nations.

Over the years, Mattheus pioneered movements and ministries that shook regions—Heaven on Earth, Fire Nights, Harvest Nights, and Gospel campaigns across Europe and Asia. From underground churches in Korea to mass revival meetings in Myanmar. He has seen the fire of God fall again and again.

His mentor and friend, Brother Andrew (Gods smuggler) learned Mattheus that there is no closed door for God and that everything is possible with Jesus.

Recent Years

He is the founder of Harvest Fields International , the School of Supernatural Heroes, and has pastored for over a decade, training and equipping a generation to live in the supernatural power of God. His books, including Dare to Dream, Never Ever Give Up, and The Power of Jesus’ Blood Covenant, have inspired thousands to step into their God-given destiny.
Recently he started a powerful online Harvest EveryOne school.

Today

Today, Mattheus is part of the core leadership of Europe Shall Be Saved, and the Global Evangelism Alliance. He and his wife Laura are helping lead the EveryOne Thailand project, mobilizing thousands of local evangelists across all 77 provinces of Thailand. In 2023, they also launched the Asia Shall Be Saved movement and hosted the historic Empowered 2023 gathering in Amsterdam.

Now based in Florida, USA, Mattheus and Laura lead a mission base with Engaging Heaven Church and Christ for All Nations (CfaN), where Mattheus helps oversee the CfaN School of Ministry, raising up fiery evangelists for the next generation.

Mattheus lives for revival. He burns to see the lost saved, the Church awakened, and the nations shaken by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is married to his amazing wife Laura, and together they are the proud parents of five world-changers: Zephaniah, Justice, Destiny, Chloe, and Noelle.
“I believe this is the hour for harvest. The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ This is not a time to observe—this is a time to reap!”
—Mattheus van der Steen

Mattheus van der Steen is a major pioneer in world evangelism. He goes to places that few others would consider going to preach the gospel; even into war-torn areas. He is a man of great courage and integrity. Mattheus is recognized by top world Christian leaders as one of the top young influencers in existence today.

His wife, Laura, works alongside him and is also known as a great Christian leader. Laura and Mattheus together are a team that effectually work to bring the whole gospel to the whole world.

When I think of couples that God is using mightily in the world today, people who have a uniquely powerful and authentic voice to their generation, Mattheus and Laura van der Steen are at the top of that list. They have been dear, personal and faithful friends to me and my family for a long time, as they were to Reinhard Bonnke (who founded our ministry). Their relentless dedication to sharing the Gospel through Harvest Fields International, in challenging, unreached areas is nothing short of inspiring. Mattheus' Kingdom-minded leadership and Laura's gifted relational skills combine to form a dynamic force for good. I wholeheartedly endorse their ministry, a beacon of hope and transformation, as they touch countless lives, heal hearts, and bring the light of Christ to dark corners of the world. Partnering with Harvest Fields International means investing in eternal impact, and I am privileged to stand with them in this extraordinary journey of faith. May their passion for the Great Commission ignite your own faith and commitment to advancing God's kingdom.

Mattheus van der Steen is a tenacious and passionate man of God. I love his childlike faith that leads him to make bold decisions for the sake of the gospel. When Holy Spirit speaks, he moves… no matter what, no matter where. As he launches Harvest Fields International, he is building upon a rich legacy and spiritual history with the Lord. I believe, through this ministry, many people will be trained and equipped to step into their own callings with this same bold faith that Mattheus and his team walk in. Spend time with Mattheus and you will definitely be encouraged, inspired and ready for more of God.

Ben Fitzgerald

Senior Leader, Awakening Europe
I have known Matt and his wife Laura closely for the last 8 years, and every time I see what they are doing for God I am excited. I am excited because they are stewarding the great gifts God gave them and using them to build up the global Church into a passionate Jesus focused people. The experience and history of walking in faith to see thousands saved in large crusades across the world, as well as their hunger to help people experience the Holy Spirit is second to none. I am thrilled they have started this new ministry and highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking them out, it will be a great blessing to you are your people.

Europe shall be saved | IAHM
The moment I’ve met Mattheus Van der Steen, I immediately saw the strong call of God in his life for this generation. He is part of this new anointed leader shaving a breakthrough anointing to bring the Kingdom of Heaven with a demonstration of power to territories and especially the closest one. Knowing Mattheus since many years, being my very close friend considering as my twin brother, I’ve seen how God is using him in front of big crowd but also how he fought the good fight of faith when he was passing through hell.

Johannes Hartl

Director of Augsburg House of Prayer, Germany
Mattheus van der Steen and his team of passionate missionaries have served the great commandment faithfully and with great impact in many nations. These are fierce pioneers who don’t hesitate to undergo dire circumstances in order to see souls won for the gospel. As a personal friend for years I am deeply moved by their work and fully endorse their missionary endeavours.
