Ordination of Job Ayuba to Associate Pastor
On January 13, 2024 about 100 enthusiastic people gathered at New Life Christian Fellowship / GCI Surrey, BC for a very special and joyous service.
National Director Bill Hall braved the challenging weather travelling to BC, along with others from Quebec City, Ottawa, Edmonton, Texas and Michigan, to join our special celebration. After his sermon, Bill Hall ordained Job Alimasi Ayuba to the position of elder and commissioned him as Associate Pastor of our congregation. Job's long-time mentor and pastor from Malawi Silvester Nkosi testified of Job's long-term commitment to Jesus Christ and service in ministry, including leading youth groups and camps in Malawi as well as serving as deacon of the congregation in the Dzaleka Refugee camp where he lived with his wife Imani and their children. In July
2019 New Life Christian Fellowship sponsored Job and Imani and their family to immigrate to Canada, where Job and Imani have continued to serve in the church and in the community. We were delighted that six of Job's coworkers attended the service as well as friends from near and far. Our Swahili brethren spent many hours preparing a great feast for after the service that was greatly enjoyed by all. Congratulations to Job and Imani, and we pray that God will bless them richly as they continue in loving service to all.
