Chris Clayman

He has been involved in pioneer church planting among unreached Muslim people in New York City, as well as, rural and urban West Africa.

Chris is also the author of Superplan: a journey into God’s story and ethNYcity: The Nations, Tongues, and Faiths of Metropolitan New York.  Chris lives with his wife Nichole and their three children in New York City.

Dr. Alfonse Javed

Dr. Alfonse Javed, the Senior Pastor of 1st Baptist Church of Metuchen, has planted a church abroad, has been a missions pastor and has served as a missionary in Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan.

Born in Lahore, Pakistan — the son of a pastor — Pastor Javed began serving in church at a young age. He has served as a missionary in Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. He has also planted a church in Greece.  In the 1990s, a providential relationship formed when Calvary Baptist Church started supporting his ministry efforts; he would later serve as the missions pastor of that congregation.  Eventually, in 2009, he moved to New York with a new vision — mobilizing churches to engage Muslims in the NYC metro area.

Dr. Javed’s advanced theological training is from the Greek Bible College, Davis College and Liberty University. He has earned three undergraduate, three graduate, and three doctoral degrees. His dissertations have explored various subjects from religious influence on the American school system to evangelism and church planting, to Islamic madrases and the treatment that Muslims students have received in the post 9/11 New York City school system. He maintains a blog, www.alfonsejaved.com, and is the author of The Muslim Next Door: A Practical Guide for Evangelism and Discipleship.  Dr. Javed and his wife, Sarah, have four children.

Pastor Jerry is an Associate Pastor at Brooklyn Tabernacle Church in downtown Brooklyn, New York City.  It is a multicultural congregation where he has led International Ministries since 2000.

In his pastoral role, Jerry oversees more than a dozen ministries worldwide ranging from church plants to a ministry that serves children who live on the street.  He began the church’s Global Mission Ministry which provides prayer support, organizes teams and has equipped hundreds of believers for mission trips throughout the world.   The teams support local ministries’ community outreach: medical clinics, English classes, computer classes, and children and youth programs.

In 2006, Jerry founded  World Compassion Fellowship,  a non-profit organization which holistically serves the poor and the persecuted around the world.  It partners internationally to provide relief, medical care, development, and training.
