Pastors Al & Joyce Dovidio

Al and Joyce, longtime members of Faith Temple Church, Rochester, NY studied at Elim Bible Institute, Lima, New York and entered full time ministry in 1981.  Answering the call to “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel,”  they sold all and moved overseas with their two teenage children to serve as “missionaries at large” from their base in Scotland.  Their travels have taken them to Scotland, England, Canada, Germany, France, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the Philippine Islands. 

In 1991 Al and Joyce moved back to Rochester, New York, USA (their hometown) and they continued to travel at home and abroad. 

Al and Joyce joined the staff of Faith Temple in 1994; Al is a member of the pastoral staff and Joyce as Director of Missions.  On January 1, 1998, Al and Joyce stepped down from their positions at Faith Temple and stepped into a new and greater challenge as founders of Barnabus Plus International, a nonprofit organization with a vision to reach the lost through evangelism - strengthen the hands of church leaders through seminars, conferences and presbyteries – supply Bible and Christian literature to those in need – to be a channel for fund to reach missionaries for projects – feed the poor, at home and abroad.
