AJ and Angela are living in Griffith, Indiana with a heart to plant a multi-cultural church in the greater Chicago area.
Their story is a "but God" story.
Having planted churches in St. Louis and in Ferguson, AJ and Angela felt called to plant a church in the greater Chicago area. But God kept them waiting.
Angela finished school and accepted a teaching position in northern Illinois in 2020.
During the week that we were closing our Griffith Free Methodist Church, I learned about AJ and Angela from Superintendent Ben Tolly of the Gateway Conference.
Angela's school was just a few minutes away from our Griffith FMC, where we had an empty building and an empty parsonage.
But God...
