Ministry Focus: John and Donna are excited about sharing their gifts and ministry experience with church leaders, Bible College students, and local congregations. With seasoned giftings in leadership and teaching, John is excited to be able to partner with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Zimbabwe and the Pan Africa Christian College in Harare. His involvement will primarily be in teaching and mentoring the next generation of pastors, young Christian leaders. Together, John and Donna are also looking forward to being able to share in short term ministry opportunities annually with some of the local church pastors and leaders through prayer, by building on-going relationships, and doing leadership seminars.
Ministry History: Pastors John and Donna have recently stepped aside from full-time local church leadership after 48 years of pastoring and are excited to begin a new season. They are both ordained ministers with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
