Jim Gerhart has been in the ministry for about twenty-three years with his wife, Christal. During their first year of marriage in 1995, the Lord called them into full-time ministry, and they committed to serving the Lord wherever He might lead. Following this call has taken them from Virginia to Pennsylvania to France to the small West African nation of Togo and eventually to New Jersey where Jim has been serving as pastor and Director for Theological Education in Africa with the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE). Through it all, they have been privileged to see God’s hand at work in so many different ways.
