In this episode of The Ferment, Adam talks with Ranjo Clements about what's happening at Asbury College and Seminary. As a resident of Wilmore, KY and a pastor of a local Vineyard, Ranjo shares about the history of revivals at Asbury, and his experience of the current outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He and Adam discuss their observations about the generational diversity in the room, describe the rhythms of what they see the Lord doing, and the on-ramps it's providing for people to encounter God.
Ranjo Clements is the Associate Pastor at GCF Vineyard in Wilmore, KY. Although originally from India, he is a card-carrying “third culture kid,” having spent multiple stints in India and the US. Ranjo served as a worship pastor in India before returning to the US in 2008 to pursue an M.Div. in worship studies at Asbury Theological Seminary (ATS). He planned to return but met a girl from China, and they fell in love with a Vineyard in Kentucky, which they have served for the past thirteen years. He loves multiethnic spaces, equipping worship leaders, and helping people encounter God and operate in their gifting. He is currently a Ph.D. student at ATS in the intercultural studies program. His research interests include Asian American Identity and theology, worship, ethnodoxology, and missiology. Ranjo and Aletha have five beautiful daughters. They love hosting people, singing, sharing stories, laughing, and eating all kinds of ethnic food, especially spicy food.
