Rev. Amy B. Perry
|
She spent her late twenties and early thirties, in Huston, TX, she spent working in the oil and gas industry, making new friends, living a pretty good life an trying to attend church and figure the whole God thing out. Having troubles with her ongoing conversation with God, arguing with Him about everything, she ended up moving to Mesopotamia (Iraq).
She was offered a job to work as a contractor, a Senior Logistics Coordinator in Iraq. Traveling around the country, she was able to visit the old city of Ur and Abraham’s home and the Great Ziggurat that still stands. God was speaking to her the whole time she was there. Telling her to stop arguing, listen, open her eyes, and most of all, understand. She had the opportunity to meet Christians whose families had gone back thousands of generations and spoke of God in a way that she hadn’t heard before, she began to grow in the faith and understanding of God, providing her confidence.
"He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”"
~ Psalm 46:10 (New International Version)
After 5 years in Iraq, Amy came home and had a conversation with God, and from that conversation, two day’s later she met Adam, her future husband and the one that encouraged her to become a pastor. While still arguing with God, He decided to change her mind.
Pastor Amy, a licensed minister in the Church of the Nazarene, now serves as the Executive Pastor of the Hope ConneXion Church of the Nazarene and the Executive Director of the Hope ConneXion Outreach Center. Previously she was the Interim Pastor of Liberty Church of the Nazarene in Prescott, AR.
Amy’s day-to-day is mainly oversite of the Outreach Center, a Nazarene Compassionate Ministry Center, and working on her Course of Study through Nazarene Bible College. She oversees everything from the feeding ministries, addiction ministries, to the Venturing Crew 1313 that is chartered by the Outreach.
“All in all, God has truly blessed me and my family in so many ways. I am humbled and grateful for His presence in my life. Give all praise to Him!”
