John and Babette Wood are co-founders of Glory Honor Africa. John and Babette have dedicated their lives to serving Christ around the world. Other than in the USA, they have lived in three countries: Philippines, Belgium and South Korea. John says that he has touched down in sixty-six different countries and has ministered in forty-five of them.
John loves to teach, train and mentor leaders for Christ’s church. For over three decades, he has equipped church leaders in French-speaking Africa to see themselves as part of the answer to the Lord’s prayer within their communities: “May your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. The answer to this prayer begins as people put their trust in Christ alone and commit to following His will for their lives. As believers walk in obedience to God’s Word, John has seen God multiply the efforts and resources of the poor who love their neighbors by seeking to meet their needs. Alongside many friends and co-laborers in French-speaking Africa, John continues to train and mentor leaders through the ministry of Glory Honor Africa, beginning in Democratic Republic of Congo.
Why the name Glory Honor Africa?
The Apostle John in Revelation 21 describes the eternal city of God in which he dwells with his people. The kings of the earth “will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations” (verse 26). Their offering of glory and honor does not consist primarily of riches and resources, but of their people, the “ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation” who “shall reign on the earth”. The new ransomed people of God reclaims its dominion over creation in accordance with God’s original intention.
Glory Honor Africa’s first order is to proclaim the good news of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. People who trust in Christ for their salvation are then called to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Another way of saying this is that we teach believers to think and act kingdom down in all areas of life; “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. Such kingdom living results in transformation and blessing in one’s own life, in the family and in entire communities and nations. In the world to come, it will serve as eternal testimony to the glory and honor of God our Creator and Redeemer.
