Guest Sermon from Pastor John Ames

John Ames, Boston Ministry Center Director, grew up in Ivory Coast, West Africa, as the son of Baptist missionaries. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Taylor University, Ames went on to obtain a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Master of Theology from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary before founding a nonprofit, Real Steps, that paired at-risk youth with arts and athletics programs in Massachusetts.

Ames has a background in urban ministry and community development in Boston and helped start two Send Network churches in Rhode Island prior to joining Send Relief’s team. In his free time, Ames loves watching Liverpool soccer, listening to live music and spending time with his wife, Jenny, and their two children, Micah and Mikayla.
