Ministry Focus: After living for ten years on African soil, Marie-José is a Canadian-based Global Worker living in Montreal, Canada. Marie-José has been reappointed to a new position with GlobalEd. She will serve in the GlobalEd department by bringing her years of experience and service to facilitating the equipping program for our new Global Worker candidates. Her passion for God and His mission, her interpersonal skills, her prayerfulness, and her experience as a Global Worker are essential qualities that she brings to this role. Chitenge Creations is a sewing initiative created by Marie-José. There are presently two schools, one in Pretoria, South Africa, and the other in Pretoria's Mamelodi Township, where up to 90% of the women are unemployed.
Ministry History: After pastoring Evangel Pentecostal Church in Montreal for thirteen years, Don( received by the Lord) and his wife Marie-José (MJ) responded to a call from National leaders in Africa, to encourage, equip, and empower leaders to finish strong and become agents of change in their local church and community.
Don’s ministry journey includes Church Ministries Director for the Eastern Ontario and Quebec District, terms on the executives of both the Eastern Ontario and Quebec districts, Master’s College & Seminary Board of Governors and the General Executive of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
Prayer Requests:
Pray for the GlobalEd program development.
Pray that the Chitenge Creation Sewing Schools will continue to thrive and expand in South Africa.
Pray for protection as Marie-José travels worldwide to work with national churches, national missional workers, pastors, students, and alumni of bible colleges.
JOY JOHNSTON
Ministry Focus: Joy serves as Director of Missions for Pentecostal Assemblies of God Uganda. Her mandate is to further develop the denomination's missions sending—particularly as they take steps towards global missions initiatives. She sensitizes leaders about missions. She equips cross-cultural workers to go. She mobilizes churches to send. The ultimate goal is to add Ugandan workers to the global missions force making Christ known to the least reached—in Africa and beyond.
Ministry History: Joy’s ministry has always had a cross-cultural focus. She felt a call to missions shortly after she came to Christ at age 19. She first served in China, using ESL as a vehicle to share the gospel. Before beginning ministry in Uganda, she pastored a First Nations church in Canada for fifteen years. God's passion "that all may hear" continues to shape and drive her ministry. God marked her with this passion early in her ministry, as she shared the gospel with people who had never heard the name of Jesus. The impact remains fresh.
Prayer Requests:
“Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out [Ugandan] workers into his [global] harvest field" (Matt. 9:38).
PRAY for Joy Johnston as she continues a recovery from breast cancer treatment. Pray for completely renewed strength. Pray that the effects will fully resolve.
