Testimonials for Juri Ammari
“Committed for the long haul. Informed. Aware. Thoughtful. Passionate. Smart. Knowledgeable. Rough around the edges.”
“Juri’s reputation in the city has soared of late; very good communicator, very thorough and passionate.”
“I am aware of many people, both within the established church and parachurch in Cleveland and secularly who contact Juri regularly for advice, to ‘talk through’ something going on in their lives as well as to discuss theological and systems issues of the church and urban issues. These individuals and organizations do so because they value Juri’s expertise and input.”
“Juri is viewed as one of the key Kingdom-minded, evangelical leaders on especially the west side of Cleveland, and there are many, many things that God is up to now that reflect his and others laboring for a long time in this city. He is seen as a go-getter, a man of deep faith, totally sold out for the gospel of Jesus, knowledgeable about God’s word and reformed (with an urban context) theology, a committed husband and father, and faithful pastor of a local expression of God’s church. You are known as a successful church planter, with a long history on the west side, effectual in making disciples, with strong opinions and viewpoints that he can back with the Word of God. He is also known as someone who puts relationships first.”
