Gregg Yarian – Togo
Gregg continues to serve the Ministry of Jesus (MOJ) and the Ministere International de Jesus (MIJ). MOJ is the evangelism, training and service arm of the ministry. MIJ is a separate but closely linked organization of the churches that were begun by the ministry.
Gregg moved back to the United States in March of this year. A strong philosophy of both ministries is that the local believers should be raised up and be given responsibility for the ministry. The ministry reached a place where it was more helpful for Gregg to serve from a distance rather than constantly in country to achieve this transfer of authority.
Gregg continues to teach, train leaders, provide wisdom and resources for the ministry.
With Gregg's transition, NorthStar's support now goes directly to "The Ministry of Jesus".
