Jesus Heals…Our Communities

Preacher: Rev. Dr. Toya Richards - July 16, 2023
Scripture: Mark 5:1–20
Series: Jesus Heals

No sermon text is available at this time. Please view the worship video.

Our guest preacher today is Rev. Dr. Toya Richards. Rev. Dr. Richards is a Global Servant called to empower and equip the people of God so that all may thrive. She lives out that call as an endorsed and appointed missionary to South Africa via International Ministries, and as a theologian and pastoral care practitioner working through her social enterprise, Grace Multimedia. Rev. Richards has recently completed doctoral research on the healing and restoration of black women impacted by racism and white supremacy in South Minneapolis, Minnesota. She also is preparing for a five-year mission assignment at Cape Town Baptist Seminary, where she will teach biblical peacemaking, biblical justice, and research methodology. Her portfolio also includes a broad career in secular and faith-based communications, ministry positions at churches in Kentucky and Minnesota, and extensive work in global missions. Rev. Richards holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Theological Seminary, a Master of Divinity degree from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Western Kentucky University.
