Called to Preach the Gospel
The charge to preach the gospel has been on both their lives from childhood. Young Johnny and his oldest brother attended a church service where they were anointed to preach the gospel by a lady who poured holy oil on his head (and his new shirt!). Johnny later found out that the lady was his wife’s mother. Johnny & Roxanna married in 1982, started their family. In 2010 Johnny & Roxanna answered the call on their life to plant a church in Columbus,Ohio. By faith, they started out teaching bible study in their home, at the local library and then leasing a space in the greater north-end of Columbus where Sunday Morning Church service is now held. They have a desire to reach people with the love and mercy of God and to see each person grow in Christ-likeness.
