This week is our annual IGNITE Series, a Spiritual Emphasis Week when we’re asking God to light a spiritual flame in each of us; one that will move us to know Him more fully, follow him more deeply, and reflect him more brightly.
Our guest speaker is Garrett Howell, teaching and prayer pastor of Asbury Church in Madison, Alabama. Garrett attended Indiana Wesleyan University for both his undergrad and graduate studies, during which he studied Christian Ministries and Practical Theology.
After college, he worked as an itinerant preacher to youth and college worship events before returning to IWU to launch a college ministry called Awaken.
In 2020, Garrett moved to Alabama to work at Asbury, a church with a God-given vision to see awakening in the college-age generation. He’s called to be a voice for renewal in the church and to teach people to pray.
