Today we’re joined by Jario Vincenz-Gavin. He currently serves as pastor for a vibrant community in Mobile, AL along with his wife Leena. They have been married for 15 years and have three wonderful children. Together, they are guided by their motto “Pursuing the ideal, while embracing the reality.” Always a dreamer, Jario works hard to encourage others to own their value as a child of God.
Growing up in the movement, Jario was inspired by the dream of "One Family Under God." He didn’t know if it was something he could really be a part of, but God had other plans.
As a college student, Jario supported youth ministry before being asked to pastor a large church community full-time in Chicago for two years, planting a new church in the suburbs for four years, and then moving to Alabama to pastor a medium-sized church. Through it all, he’s learned that the key to ministry is recognizing the qualities of the people in his community.
