The Christian Educators Fellowship biennial gathering will be in wonderful Louisville, Kentucky, October 22-25, 2010. Pastors Rudy and Juanita Rasmus have led St. John's since 1992, when there were only 9 members. Today the church in downtown Houston has more than 9,000 members, a third of which are or were homeless at one point in their lives.
