"Pastor John was hired in April of 2021 as the next executive director for Henderson Settlement in and around Frakes, Kentucky. He became the executive director on June 6, 2021. Previously he was a bi-vocational pastor in the Indiana conference for 22 years where he served a two point charge for the last 20 years. After he retired from Chrysler the Lord called him and his Parrish to become more active in mission service for the people of Appalachians. Both the staff and the board of the Settlement invited John to consider the position as they wanted a pastor and a shepherd to fulfill this position. John’s heart was changed while he was coming down here during the COVID experience and he seen the heart of the staff and those that they were serving. Johns life verse is Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways knowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” John and Lisa have two adult children who remain in Indiana. Their son’s family lives in Kokomo, IN and their daughter’s family live in Fort Wayne, IN. John and Lisa believe that God has called them to this place and time to serve Him, this community, and all who participate in this shared ministry."
