I have 15 years of pastoral ministry in the local church: children, youth, young adult, interim, and lead pastorates in Missouri, Connecticut, Iowa, and Scotland. Most recently, I have led the 6-year revitalization of an historic Pentecostal church in Iowa City, IA. Resurrection Assembly of God is multi-ethnic and multi-generational, ecumenical, and unapologetically Pentecostal. We proclaim the risen Lord and do the works of justice and advocacy he calls us to.I have multiple publications across the academic and popular spectrum on moral theology, the NT, immigration, and Christian ministry. I’ve spoken and lectured in Scotland, Kenya, Ivory Coast, and across the US. I grew up in West Africa, and speak West African French.
