Pastor Francis Chan

Francis Chan a gifted teacher, mentor, and preacher, pastored a very large congregation in Southern California before he left it all behind to live in Asia. He spent time in China’s underground church movement and was struck by how its members were growing exponentially, despite the clandestine nature of the church.  Upon his return to the US, his new churches meet in a home and have two pastors—both unpaid. All tithes and offerings are set aside for local and international missions. When a church grows large enough, it multiplies. These small groups are encouraged to treat others like family, abounding in love and service. All of the churches are linked under the We Are Church umbrella. He and his wife Lisa and their five children now live in Northern California.

Pastor Jentezen Franklin – Free Chapel

Formerly raised in a Pentecostal church, Jentezen Franklin is the senior pastor of the multi-campus megachurch Free Chapel. In his trademark southern draw and bold preaching style, Franklin inspires his listeners to love the gospel and to fervently pursue a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is a big supporter of individual and corporate fasts, which he describes as “…disconnecting with the world and reconnecting with God”. Franklin can also be lighthearted, funny, and even break out into an old hymn, when the spirit moves him. He describes his style as being born of the times.   “I think you constantly have to go with change if you’re going to see a ministry grow. We could not stay at the same level and hold on to the same traditions and styles. You have to be relevant.” Being relevant led Franklin to modernize the church’s style of worship and sermons. Each week his television program, Kingdom Connection, is broadcast on major networks all over the world.

Pastor Franklin and his wife Cherise have been married 32 years, have five children and four grandchildren, and make their home in Gainesville, Georgia.
