Breaking Free with Mark Willey
Breaking Free
Mark Willey
Fellowship Baptist Church began with Mark and Marian Willey’s desire to see people come to know, love, serve, and enjoy Jesus Christ. As church planters with ABWE, Mark and Marian initially wanted to carry out this vision in Romania or South Africa, but in His wisdom, God put South Jersey on their hearts and led them to start a church in this region. With this new goal, the couple resigned from the mission program, Mark became Pastor Mark, and their home church, Shawnee Baptist Church, graciously supported their efforts to start a church in Mount Laurel.

Bridging the Gap with Lloyd Pulley
Bridging the Gap
Lloyd Pulley
Pastor Lloyd Pulley was born in Michigan in 1958. After the death of his mother when he was 4, Lloyd was raised by his godly grandmother, who prayed earnestly that he would someday serve God. Those prayers were answered in 1976 when one of Lloyd’s classmates at Michigan State University shared the gospel with Lloyd, and he received Jesus Christ as his personal savior.
Lloyd quickly felt the call on his life to full-time ministry and decided to abandon a full academic scholarship, his pursuit of an engineering degree, and his college wrestling goals to serve God. He moved to California where he became an intern at Calvary Chapel West Covina (now Calvary Chapel Golden Springs). There he met his wife Karen (whom he affectionately calls his Armenian Princess) and began a family while training in the ministry. In 1984, 4 years after being ordained as an Associate Pastor, Lloyd felt the call on his life again, only this time it was to plant a church on the East Coast. He once again packed his bags and left a full-time position, his family, and friends to venture out into the unknown. God honored that faithfulness and in less than 20 years, Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (CCOB) has grown from 3 families to almost 5000 adults and children.
While Pastor Lloyd’s focus has been on expositional teaching, he also has a strong heart for missions and has traveled throughout the world spreading the gospel and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry.

Gospel for Asia with K.P. Yohannan
Gospel for Asia
K.P. Yohannan
Dr. K.P. Yohannan has been crisscrossing the globe for the last 40 years, challenging the body of Christ to discipleship. His call to a radical lifestyle—with an all-out commitment to Jesus—has left its impact on nearly every continent. To the Church caught up by the tidal waves of compromise and self-preservation, Yohannan’s life message is as fresh as today’s podcast yet as timeless as the scriptural mandate itself.
Yohannan is the founder and international director of Gospel for Asia, a Christian mission organization that has brought the Good News of Christ to millions in South Asia over the last three decades.
Born in India, Dr. Yohannan, at the age of 16, responded to the Lord’s call to serve Him in North India. In 1974, he came to the United States, where he received his theological training and pastored a church for four years.
The Lord reminded Yohannan of the countless millions in Asia still waiting to learn of His love for them. In response, he resigned his pastorate, and he and his wife, Gisela, started what is known today as Gospel for Asia. Today, the ministry supports thousands of national workers and vibrant congregations throughout South Asia. Additionally, Gospel for Asia’s Bridge of Hope program cares for tens of thousands of children, helping them break out of the generational curses of poverty and hopelessness.

In Your Faith with Joe Domico
In Your Faith
Joe Domico
Pastor Joe has been the pastor of Gateway Christian Church since its inception: teaching the Bible chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse in the Southern New Jersey/Philadelphia region. Prior to beginning this ministry, Joe served at a Charismatic Southern Baptist Church in Texas while pursuing a degree in Biblical Languages at Abilene Christian University (ACU). Upon returning to South Jersey, Joe and his wife Anne committed a couple of years to help establish and and build up a Calvary Chapel in New Jersey with friends of theirs whom they had studied the Bible with since they were new believers. Through a series of circumstances that the Lord had ordained, Joe was asked to lead a church in Woodbury, NJ. After much prayer, what is Gateway Christian Church of Woodbury is the fruit of that ministry.
Joe grew up Roman Catholic. He became a Christian in 1983 while working as a casino supervisor in Atlantic City, NJ. After giving his life to the Lord Jesus Christ, he got involved with ministry right away. He read through the Bible in a couple of months, then continued to read through again and again. With his newlywed wife and partner, Anne, he relocated to West Texas. They both enrolled at ACU in Abilene, TX (150 miles west of Fort Worth) where they met many life-long friends who they network with. Through His grace, God began to use Joe and Anne. They desired to return to New Jersey and be involved in ministry and in church planting. Joe and Anne are currently living in Gloucester County with their five children: Josiah (22), Sarah (20), Katherine (17), Alethea (13) and Aubrey (10). Joe also hosts the radio ministry called In Your Faith that reaches many to listeners on the HOPE-FM Radio Network and The WAVE 92.7 in Ocean City, NJ. Joe has a wonderful and practical insight into God’s Word and a great ability to communicate God’s message to this generation. His life verse is Galatians 2:20.

On the Level with Pancho Juarez
On the Level
Pancho Juarez
Pancho Juarez is currently the pastor of Calvary Chapel Montebello in California. He believes that Jesus Christ is the only answer and hope for this dying world. It is this belief that led Pancho to teach others about Christ.
While attending Calvary Chapel in West Covina, California, Pancho received most of his biblical servanthood and training. Pancho joined the church leadership but eventually felt called to go back to the hometown of his youth to minister to his community. He started a home fellowship group that grew to over 200 members. With so many people attending, they decided to move to a larger facility: a converted barn.
However, a year later, this growing congregation needed even more space and moved to a local high school auditorium. It officially became a church on July 12, 1992. However, in July of 1995 the church yet took another turn and moved to a 98,000 sq. ft. warehouse. Two years later, the property officially belonged to Calvary Chapel Montebello.
The church has now grown to more that 3,000 adults and 1,000 children with enough activities to keep the church open all week long. Pancho is supported by his wife, Millie, and his five children: Jasmine, Bianca, Alexandria, Sebastian and Zoe.

Servant Quarters with Gayle Erwin
Servant Quarters
Gayle Erwin
Gayle Erwin travels around the globe playing, as he puts it, “the one string on my guitar.” That “one string” is the Nature of Jesus, a message developed over a lifetime of study and experience — a simple message of servant lifestyle for this complex age. Gayle’s varied background fuels a wealth of parables and anecdotes and gives handles to the experiences of the Bible. He states that the richness of his life is like living one lifetime every ten years.
He is a father and grandfather, a writer and editor, a talker and listener. He has created five magazines, served six years as a college teacher and twenty years as a pastor. Now, as the director of a ministry called “Servant Quarters,” he spends his time speaking at conferences and retreats (as he works on his third million miles of flying) and writing. His humorous style delights audiences of all ages wherever he goes.
Gayle’s first book, The Jesus Style, has sold more than 500,000 copies and has been translated into 35 languages. Many churches and missions groups require their leaders to study this book. His second book, The Father Style, examines the nature of God the Father through the eyes of Jesus. The third book, The Spirit Style, proposes a unique and healing view of the Holy Spirit as revealed in the teaching of Jesus. The Body Style completes the “Style” series and views The Church as described by Jesus. He wrote Handbook for Servants to assist the servant-hearted with the struggles they face. That Reminds Me of a Story is a wildly popular compilation of 40 true stories from his life. He followed that story book with another entitled That Reminds Me of Another Story with 50 more true stories from his life and observation. His newest book, Not Many Mighty, proves that God rarely uses the elite, preferring those Gayle identifies with and calls “Jerks.” The book is highly encouraging.
Other resources such as CDs, DVDs, radio progams and podcasts combine to give the “one string” significant distribution..
Gayle and his wife, Ada, live in Cathedral City, California.

Turning Point with David Jeremiah
Turning Point
David Jeremiah
Dr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.
As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.
A dedicated family man, Dr. Jeremiah believes that without the support and encouragement of his wife, Donna, Turning Point would have never been brought into existence. He and Donna have four grown children and ten grandchildren.
Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment is to teaching the whole Word of God. His passion for people and his desire to reach the lost are evident in the way he communicates Bible truths and his ability to get right to the important issues. Dr. Jeremiah continues to be excited to see what God is going to do in broadcast ministry around the world through the ministries of Turning Point.
