John & Teresa Lokure

John was saved in 2008, not through any church or sermon, but through the evangelism and discipleship ministry of Bread of Life Mission.  He joined the discipleship class partway through and became so passionate to learn about Christ that he would ride his bicycle 40 miles one-way carrying large bags of charcoal to pay for the small class fee.  He was originally posted as the pastor of the church started by Bread of Life in Nakepokon in 2012.  

God has given him a gift to raise up others to do the work of the ministry alongside him.  He discipled a team of people at Nakepokon and raised them up to lead their own congregation while he moved on to start work in Kanyangapus in 2021.  John was able to repeat the process to move on to open Kaban’gan’g Curch the beginning of 2024.  At the end of 2024, some of his leaders from Kanyangapus Church started a fellowship in the village of Narot.

When asked what he wants to be remembered for, John shares, “My calling is not to preach in 2 place.   My calling is to go, plant the church, and raise up others to lead the church.  Then I will repeat this process in a new place.”

Will you partner with John and Teresa to allow them to serve the Lord in their calling?
