Pastor Alvin Jones Pastor Alvin Jones
Alvin is young man, married with a family size of five children. He is very creative, a self starter, and passionate about the things of God. He is based in New Land Community some 86 miles away from Monrovia. New land is two hours walk away from where the car road ends with over 3,000 residents. Yet he is stationed there purposely to see lives being transformed for the glory of God. He has lead many holistic self help projects for his community. He is a seasoned church planter who is planting his fourth church and the second church under the Community Church Ministries. His new church is being planted in Gleekpah Town, a town with over 5,000 residents in the surrounding villages and towns. He is teaming up with his wife and mother who greatly support him in all of his church plant efforts.
He desires to balance his life by doing tent - making in the area of medicine. At his place of mission, there is only one clinic in their surrounding with less medication. Most sick people trek for hours to seek medical attention, but are most often disappointed duet o lack of medication or its high cost. He wants to help by providing low cost medication that will serve as another medium through which the sick can be won to Christ. This is one of the areas in which we envision conducting a medical evangelism where we go out and treat sick people with minor, preventable illnesses and diseases.
