About the Facilitator:

Dan Johnson

Dan Johnson of Durham, NC loves to spend his time with his wife, Kelly, and their two daughters, traveling and exploring God’s creation. While a huge fan of the Oregon Ducks, he enjoys anything resembling a sport. Most importantly, he was a lost soul that God saved from the depths of depression on a basketball court in February of 2001. God called him into ministry at the age of 15. He received his Bachelor’s degree at New Hope Christian College in Eugene, Oregon, with a double major in Bible and pastoral studies and a minor in counseling. Before being led to Raleigh-Durham, Dan served as a pastor in Indiana, Oregon, and Arkansas. He is currently completing his Master’s of Global Leadership through Wheaton College.  Dan has been a lead pastor for 12 years and in some pastoral role for 22 years.   Currently pastoring at Cross Culture at Leesville Road, he has coached church planters and walked with pastors through crisis.

Understanding fully the pressing need to support pastors, Dan was moved to join Double Honor after attending one of our recent men’s retreats. As a facilitator, Dan will expand Double Honor Ministries by hosting retreats for pastors in his region on the eastern seaboard. We are thankful for Dan’s willingness to continue our mission to fulfill 1 Timothy 5:17.

Couples Retreat – Le Presbytere -France  (Regional Guests Only)

About the Facilitators:

Caroline and Jerry Jones

Jerry and Caroline (Zoobi) Jones met and married in Oxford, UK, in 1978. Jerry, a graduate of University of Southern California (B.A), and Yale (M.Div) was in Oxford for a year, and Caroline was already working there, when they met.

A native Californian, Jerry has been preaching for the Churches of Christ now for 42 years. He started in campus ministry during his days at USC. After marrying, he became the minister for the Oxford Church of Christ, UK, serving there for 15 years in a position that is generally considered the mission field.

In 1994, seeking a better situation for their three young children, the Jones family moved to Woodland Hills, CA, to take up a position as Family Life Minister at the Woodland Hills Church of Christ.  Two years later, Jerry moved back to the pulpit at the Van Nuys Church of Christ, CA.  In 2006, Jerry became pulpit minister at the Johnson Ave Church of Christ in San Luis Obispo, CA, where he remained for another 10 years.

Caroline (Zoobi) from Liverpool, UK, was born again at the age of 18. When Jerry and Caroline met and married, Caroline was working as a paralegal. When the children were born, she spent 13 years managing the home, until all the children were at school. During Jerry’s ministry, Caroline has participated in a major way to support him. In addition, from 1996, she has worked as a paralegal, then for 20 years as a teacher of French in a local high school.

Rather than opting for retirement, both Jerry and Caroline have found a passion for serving the Lord in France. Having owned property in France for 28 years, and spent quality time there each year, it was a natural transition to spend more time in France when they no longer were employed in the US. Now they are developing the local congregation of diverse Christians in their French village. Furthermore, they now enjoy welcoming retreat groups, conferences and offering educational programs at their
property where Normandy and the Loire Valley meet.

The Jones have hosted Double Honor pastor retreats at their France property during 2018 and 2019.  For 2020, we were pleased to welcome them as facilitators to bless and encourage  Christian pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders serving in France and surrounding region.

About the Facilitators:

 The Dobrins

Born in a Christian family, being the second of the six children, Gigi’s father had a profound influence on him by his faithfulness to God. For the first Bible of his family, his father paid 60% of his salary and it was not a new one! On January 7, 1972, Gigi decided to interrupt sports activities and dedicate his life to the ministry of Jesus, understanding then that diplomas and medals won by sport are nothing compared to the eternal life offered by God. It was the crucial moment of his life.

In 1977 Gigi graduated from the Technical University of Bucharest and moved to Medias for ministry at Bethel Baptist Church. Between 1980 and 1986, the Bethel Baptist Church recorded a rapid and significant increase, prompting the Communist authorities at that time to start a furious attack on the leadership of the Church and its members. He was interrogated, threatened and accused by the Securitate (Political Police) that if he did not become an active informant for them, he would be arrested and sentenced. Following the persecution, the two pastors of the Church emigrated to the US in March 1986. In this context, the Church began the search for a new Pastor and offered Gigi the position. After two weeks of fasting and prayer with his wife, Lavinia, Gigi gave a positive response to the Church, understanding God’s call very clearly.

Without a university theological training, Gigi began to participate into the BEE (Biblical Education by Extension) courses that were held in hidden places from the eyes of the communist authorities because these activities were forbidden. He often traveled hundreds of miles to get to the meeting places or in the hidden huts in the mountains.

32 years have passed since Gigi  started ministry as a pastor. The Revolution of December 1989 allowed freedom to plant new Churches in all the localities of the Medias area.

After completing the theological courses at the University of Bucharest in 1997,  Gigi successfully completed his Masters in Theology at Queen’s University of Belfast. In the year of 2002, he received the invitation to teach in the only accredited conservative Christian University from Europe, the Emanuel University in Oradea.  He obtained the PhD in Theology at the Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca, Romania.

Since 1991, he has been part of the Council of the Baptist Union of Romania, an organization with over 1200 churches. Through the positions of ministry, he has traversed Romania thoroughly.

 Shivam Patel

Shivam serves as one of the pastors in a local OKC metro church, spending his days investing in the next generation of college students and young adults while developing leaders who love Jesus and live sent. Born in India and raised in the United States, he carries a deep love for the nations and a burden to mobilize students everywhere: across the world, across our country, and across their own campuses to reach their friends with the gospel. He is passionate about the local church and its leaders, and his heartbeat is to help young leaders step confidently into their calling with purpose, joy, and a clear sense of mission.

After personally experiencing the impact of a Double Honor retreat, Shivam became convinced of how transformative true rest is for pastors and ministry leaders.

Now, he is committed to creating that same space for others, helping leaders reset, recover joy, and learn to lead from a place of rest that changes everything.

Shivam and his wife, Addison, live in Oklahoma with their son, Zion, and love opening their home, building community, and dreaming about what God might do next.  Welcome to DH Shivam! Double Honor Ministries is thrilled you have joined our team of facilitators for 2026!

Jim and Susie Fuller met in college at a ministry outreach and have been together ever since – now married for 44 years!  They had a successful business for about 25 years before God called Jim into ministry.  He is credentialed with the Assemblies of God and is a License Professional Counselor.  He founded Pastoral Care, Inc. in 2004 which is specifically focused on encouraging and supporting our pastors by providing legal help, counseling, get-a-ways, limited medical assistance, prayer, and practical ministry helps.  Susie works at a local Methodist church (Oklahoma) and hopes to be retiring soon to spend more time in the ministry and be with the grandchildren

Partnering with Double Honor Ministries, Jim and Susie have hosted many pastor retreats over the past several years.  Says Jim, “It is so refreshing to find a ministry like Double Honor, not only blessing and encouraging our pastors but to have such wonderful people associated with this ministry.  Mark and Alesia Campbell are a wonderful, loving, and caring couple.  They truly have a heart for pastors.  Susie and I are truly honored to be a part of this ministry’s mission to bring refreshment and encouragement to as many pastors as we can!”

About the Facilitators

Ana and Mike Dascalescu

We are appointed AG missionaries to Romania, a country from which we miraculously escaped communism in November, 1981. Along our journey, we have been telling our story to anyone who would hear about our amazing Heavenly Father! He is close to anyone who trusts Him! He gives us the courage and the strength we need to live a life according to His plan and He gives us the power to overcome any obstacle that blocks our way! Mike and I have been affiliated with and have been serving at Glad Tidings Church in Reading, PA, since 1989.

Since the fall of Communism, we felt compelled to take the Gospel of Jesus to the people of Romania. Year after year we took mission teams across Romania, preaching the Gospel and seeing many people saved. After the revolution Romania was lacking ministers, places of worship and leaders to help integrate and disciple new converts. Seeing this great need, we prayed and fasted, waiting on God to show us the next step. When the answer finally came, we left behind our jobs, our three married children, and our grandchildren to answer the call to full-time missions. We returned to Romania with the objective of planting churches, training leaders, and serving in the unreached region of Southeast Romania.  We are excited to now partner with Double Honor Ministries to honor, serve and encourage those who serve in Christian ministry!

Debbie and John Prom

About the Facilitators:

John and Debbie have been married for 28 years, and both are children of moms widowed at early ages. They met while attending seminary at Southwestern Assemblies of God College in Waxahachie, TX and dated later in life. God has blessed them with two wonderful children, a beautiful daughter-in-law, and a precocious grand-dog. They served as staff pastors for over twenty-five years in Oklahoma City.  In 2010, the Proms relocated to the Dallas metroplex where they planted a church and now co-pastor a thriving congregation. Debbie’s roots are in Arkansas and John hails from Wisconsin, so the challenge is real!

The Proms have a heart for ministry couples who face the common struggles of pastoring in today’s difficult times and maintaining a healthy Kingdom perspective to life and ministry.  Double Honor Ministries is so grateful for leaders such as Debbie and John Prom who serve willingly and lead our pastor retreats which share encouragement and respite with Christian leaders.
