We'd like to introduce you to John and Lucy Ojode so that you can pray for them and their ministry. We met them this week because Kevin will be supporting them as they hope to plant an Evangelical Free church the the Third Ward community of Houston. In the EFCA, when a pastor begins the church-planting process, pastors and elders of established churches help form a church board that is replaced as the church plant trains and puts its own elder board in place and becomes self-sufficient. Lord willing, Kevin will be helping on the board for this church plant in an area that so needs the hope of the Gospel.
We were excited to meet the Ojodes, not just to hear about their heart for ministry in Houston, but also because they are originally from Kenya, where Kevin and I have both visited on different missions trips. As we talked and heard their story, we discovered that Kevin visited and spoke at the same high school from which Lucy graduated in Nakuru, Kenya! She is a college professor at Texas Southern University, but before that, she taught at Indiana University, Kevin's alumni! So we concluded that it is a small world. Please pray for them as Pastor John works through the process of ordination with the EFCA and begins the steps of church planting.
