Our team leadership.

Noelle Jones, founder and International Director of Missions.

Noelle is the mother of four children. She was born in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire and immigrated to America years ago. Noelle has been serving in the body of Christ since 1978, leading evangelism outreaches, young unwed mothers programs, neighborhood and church prayer groups, adult women’s ministry, young adult ministry, and children’s ministry for many years. 

Noelle is a dynamic teacher of God’s Word. She is a disciple-maker and a mentor for many people in Africa and America.

Having obtained a Master’s Degree in Chemistry before coming to America, she managed laboratories while working in Africa’s petroleum and food products processing industries.

After immigrating to America, she worked as a public school teacher and college professor teaching chemistry, physics, science, and biology. She is trilingual, speaking English, French, and Bété (African tribal dialect).


Pastor Job Badia, Africa Director of Operations.

Pastor Job Badia is our Africa Operations Director. He has been serving with us since 2009. As Lead Pastor of Gospel For Africa Church Gagnoa Job has helped plant churches in the cities of Yopougon and Eden in Cote d’Ivoire.

Pastor Job is one of the men we have trained to lead and teach other leaders. He and his wife Patricia serve together, leading our Bible School in Gagnoa. It is an 18-month Bible training program that equips faithful men to go out and plant new churches in remote villages and urban centers.

The church body and our Bible School students love Job and Patricia and you will too when you visit them in Africa.


Patrica Badia, Africa Director of Women and Children Ministries.

Patricia serves alongside of her husband as a Pastor’s wife and Bible school administrator. She also leads and works with women, youth, and unwed teen mothers, assisting Noelle Jones.

Job and Patricia are fantastic role models. They are now reproducing themselves in young believers who will be the leaders of many new churches in Africa.
