GC Talk with Boe Ellis

He prayed that God would send someone else. And, God sent him instead.
It was that kind of Jonah calling that moved Joe Pardo with his wife and kids from Tampa to Puerto Rico in 2015; not to plant a church, but to plant Hope Women's Clinic, San Juan's first evangelical women's crisis pregnancy center.
And in ten years since, they have been celebrating life. And the Lord has grown Joe's family, and grown the ministry to two locations with 13 employees who are sharing the love of Christ and providing resources and support for women to choose life.
And in the process, the lives of women and children and families are being transformed, and the Gospel is multiplying across Puerto Rico and beyond, all because one family answered the call. Because one family said yes.

He moved to New England for an internship, and he never left.
And in just 10 short years since, that unmarried, English-speaking gringo has become fluent in Portuguese, has married his Brazilian pastor's daughter, has become father to a new baby; he is also a school teacher, and a co-pastor of a Portuguese-English-speaking, Brazilian congregation in Boston, MA. Meet Josh Rowley. One of the leaders of the Celebration Church Planting Network, and the Celebration Church campus in Middleton MA in the North Shore, just 20 minute north of downtown on US 1.
Pastor Josh is a native of Springfield MA. He is a Liberty University graduate who didn't originally set out to be a missionary or a pastor, but God had a different idea.  Josh has been meaningfully engaged in discipling second-gen, next-gen students and adults to be about the work and the mission of Christ in New England, in the US and in Brazil.
