There are many things that could be said about Pastor Andrea D. Omojola, MPH, MDiv. She was born in Nigeria to an American mother and Guinean father. She gets her love for cross cultural ministry and missions honest through her experiences growing up in cross cultural settings. Andrea has a B.A. in Communications from The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI), a Masters in Public Health from Emory University (Atlanta, GA) and a Masters in Divinity from Luther Rice University (Atlanta, GA). Andrea was licensed as a minister in 2006 and ordained as a pastor in 2012. She is the author of In The Process of Time: Victory Through Your Waiting Season and is a speaker, lay/ministerial counselor, administrator, photographer and so much more. She met and married her husband Johnson while serving as a missionary with Mercy Ships and they currently reside in Lubbock, TX where she is the Chief Operating Officer of Open Door--a faith-based organization that ministers to those experiencing homelessness/poverty and survivors of sex trafficking. However, those are merely the facts you can read on her resume. What's most important to Andrea is her relationship with God. She has a heart to serve Him and others to His glory. She didn't grow up in the church, but came to know him as her savior in her mid 20's and has been on fire for the Lord ever since. She is a woman who strives to be an ambassador for Christ no matter what she is doing or where she goes. Her motto is:  Follow FAITH towards DESTINY and cherish every moment along the way.
