Church Planter: Stephanie Jane Timosa

Stephanie Jane Timosa answered God’s call to ministry through a season of prayer, surrender, and growing closer to Him. At first, she was hesitant to step into ministry, but at the age of 31, she became certain that God was calling her by name and chose to lay down her career to follow Him. Despite facing opposition and rejection, God’s grace has sustained Stephanie and strengthened her commitment to serve Him through pioneering ministry. She believes God has called her to plant a church in Concepcion, Balungis, Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay, where she has already been leading house Bible studies and has seen children and families become open to the Gospel. Her desire is to establish a Christ-centered church that disciples families, reaches children through outreach and feeding ministries, raises up local leaders, and helps more people come to know and follow Jesus.
