Leadership

Kevin Jourdan serves as one of our Preaching Ministers. Kevin has been married to his wife Natalie for over 20 years. They have been blessed with five children whom they are raising to work and minister in the kingdom of God. Kevin felt a strong desire to give his life to Christ at a very young age and knew he wanted to commit his life to Christ and learn from Him. Kevin earned his Bachelor's degree in Bible and Ministry from Harding University. He has worked in ministry for over 20 years in Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee.  In addition to ministry and preaching, Kevin also works as a full-time nurse where he serves and ministers to patients in dialysis. Kevin's deepest desire is to teach Jesus Christ and the gospel of the kingdom as he encourages the growth of the Lord's church. 

Todd serves as Friendship’s Worship Minister and Preaching Minister, while both Todd and his wife Gail serve as ministry leaders over adult education. They have two daughters, Tessa Denzin and Morgan Graham and three grandchildren, Vivienne, Violet and Valor Denzin.
Todd graduated with a BA degree in bible from Freed Hardeman University in 1985. He preached full time in Alabama and Texas for 10 years. He finished his Master’s degree in Education Administration and shifted his career to teaching and becoming a principal, from which he retired in 2019. Todd also worked in the praise ministry at The Hills Church of Christ for 30 years. We are blessed to have both Todd and Gail as part of our Friendship family, working beside us.

Wes Walker serves as one of our Preaching Ministers. He has lived in DeSoto County his entire life and was blessed to grow up in church. However, his path to ministry is a little different than most. At the age of 18, he began struggling with drugs and alcohol, and for more than 12 years he was completely bound by addiction. He had reached a point where he had lost all hope. By God’s grace, he found his way to John 3:16 Ministries, and it was there that his life was completely transformed. He came to truly know Jesus and discovered the calling He placed on his life — to serve Him by helping others find the same freedom and hope he had found. From that moment forward, he knew ministry wasn’t just something he wanted to pursue, but the very purpose God created him for.
