Rev. Ron Garrison

Rev. Ron Garrison was born in Nova Scotia. He came to know Jesus as his personal Saviour after a friend at work witnessed to him and brought him to a church in Toronto.

Rev. Garrison is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. For nineteen years he pastored churches in Western Ontario. The last church Ron pastored in London formed a tri-lingual congregation made up of English, Spanish and Slavic speaking peoples with services in all three language groups. While pastoring this church, Ron was approached by a Ukrainian pastor to help some Slavic families from the USSR emigrate. After seeing several of these families settle in his church, one brother urged Ron to travel back to the Soviet Union with him in August, 1991. While on that trip, God began to move on Ron's heart to work more with Slavic people. Soon after, Ron decided to leave pastoring to work full time ministering to the people of the former Soviet Union, or the "Commonwealth of Independent States" or CIS.
