Chicago Assembly
The
Chicago Assembly grew out of an outreach to nursing students headed
up by Gay (Mau) Walker and Karen (Krusich) Ling.
Here is an early photo. Leading brothers Roger Grant, Mark Lovik,
Ken Ludwig and Gene Reisinger are in the front row. Samuel Ochenjele
from Nigeria met Roger Grant in Chicago in 1980 and was introduced to
the Assembly. In 1996 Mark and Connie Lovik are sent from Chicago to
Lombard. Roger accompanied George Geftakys on all his African journeys.
In 2003 the Chicago Assembly severed ties with George.
The group continues to meet, occasionally has Remedy Drive perform for an outreach, and invites Mike Zach to preach. Samuel Ochenjele's youngest son George was in fellowship with the Chicago Assembly while he was in medical school; he is now married to Christa Miller from Oakland. Samuel preaches in the Chicago Assembly on his trips to the USA.
