His Connection to PAK
“I was introduced to the Pan-African Koinonia by Rev. Kasey Jones, whose commitment to racial justice and transformative ministry deeply captured both my mind and heart. For the past three years, I have valued the opportunity to grow, collaborate and serve alongside such thoughtful and committed leaders.”
We are grateful for Dr. Scott’s continued presence, leadership and service within the Pan-African Koinonia.
