Gloire Emmanuel Ndongala

Executive President

Gloire Emmanuel Ndongala was born in the Capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa. When he was a child, the tyrant Mobutu came after his family. By the grace of God, they all escaped and came to America. At the age of 14, his father abandoned his family and he was taken in by a Hispanic family in Colorado, the Luceros. Overcoming all these odds, Gloire managed to make it through college graduating with Bachelors in Church Ministries (Leadership), an Associates in Psychology, and an Associates of Arts in Bible. He is married to his lovely wife, Katie, and has two children: Dóxa (son) and Penayel (daughter).

Dr. Melonie Parmley

Vice President

Growing up in a church setting, Melonie Parmley loved God but did not grasp the full measure of the Gospel. At a young age, she felt called to the nations but did not understand how or what that would look like exactly. Finally, as a senior in high school, she developed a strong desire to pursue medicine and started on the path to becoming a doctor. This path would eventually lead to sin, redemption, deliverance, and freedom which enlightened a new understanding to the Gospel and a fresh ignition of the calling to the nations. Melonie’s passion is building a church that understands and operates in the full measure of the gospel. She continues to practice medicine today.

Michael Staley

Director

Michael Staley was born in Frankfurt Germany. He began following Christ after he was  delivered through the power of Jesus from a blood pact he willfully made with Satan at the age of 16. Throughout his walk with Christ he developed a strong sense of justice and desire to see wrongs made right. He is a former sheriff deputy, Global response team specialist, private security contractor, and is currently serving in the United States Airforce and is a youth leader at Faith Center.

Katie grew up in rural Montana in a farm and ranch community. After graduating she moved to Texas to pursue degrees in Counseling and Bible and then later to New York to obtain a Masters Degree in Social Work.

Raissa Umba

She moved to the U.S in 2015 for college and graduated with a Bachelor in Communication and Public Relation in 2019. After doing a one-year internship with Chi Alpha Campus Ministry, she went back to school for a Masters in Public Administration at The University of Utah. Raissa has a heart for orphans and homeless children in her home country and she has been working on how to reach them for years now. Her biggest dream is to not only provide a home and safety to these children but also bring them the Gospel of Jesus Christ who loves each one of them deeply. 

Tanya Harper

Treasurer

Tanya Harper was born and raised in the small town of Cut Bank, Montana. Tanya has faced many challenges in her life. There were many times growing up that she would cry to God and ask him to please take all of her pain from her. At forty-years-old she came to know Jesus as her Lord and Saviour and realised that she never really knew Jesus and surely was not living for Him. After giving her life to Jesus she quickly learned her identity and authority in being a daughter of God. The Bible suddenly became alive in her life and the lives of the people around her. One verse of scripture that became very real to her was “All things work together for the good for those who love God and are called to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28. Tanya has since thanked Jesus for all the things that used to cause her pain. Jesus has brought her healing and turned them all for the good as she now is able to help others through their pain, leading them to Jesus, the true healer. Tanya owns multiple businesses (some of which she’s trusting the Lord to be selling soon): Pioneer Bar, Water to Wine Steakhouse, TNT Casino, and Jamerica Rentals. She has two sons: Tyler and Dahnai.
