The Chicago Assembly grew out of an outreach to nursing students headed
up by Gayv(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. They continue to meet, occasionally
have Remedy Drive perform for an outreach, and invite Mike Zach to
preach. Samuel Ochenjele's youngest son George was in fellowship with
the Chicago Assembly while he was in medical school. His father visits
the Chicago Assembly and preaches on his trips to the USA.
