Meet Your Staff: Tom Ford

Rev. Tom Ford, pastor of The Potter's House in Camdenton, Mo., has served as construction coordinator for the World Changers Little Rock project the past two years.

Yes, you heard right! Tom is both a PASTOR and a CONSTRUCTION COORDINATOR! You may say, "Hey, he's a FREAK of nature!" Well, that's that may be true, but Tom combines his love of Jesus Christ and an earnest love for people and the things of God! While making certain roofs get replaced properly and paint and other repairs to homes are done right, Tom understands the REAL reason we all are coming to Little Rock...to share the good news of Jesus with people of the community who so desperately need a savior.

Now, as for Tom's background, that's a bit more sketchy. Rumor has it that Tom served in the Vietnam War in special forces or even as a Navy Seal! While this has yet to be confirmed, for those of you who haven't met Tom, you will realize once you meet him that you best follow his instructions for a smooth construction project! :-) Seriously, while Tom's appearance may look a bit intimidating, he is as gentle as a kitten with a bowl of warm milk!

Tom will be accompanied on the project with his daughter, Katie Nugent. Katie serves as Youth and Children's Director at The Potter's House.
