David Raynaud - Lead Body Life Pastor
Pastor David was born and raised in South Mississippi and spent his early life on the Gulf Coast. His parents, originally from New Orleans, Louisiana moved there to begin their family. Little did they know it was there they would meet Jesus, and life would never be the same. Though never with official title, they ministered in every area of church life, but more importantly, to everyone they encountered in daily life.
Pastor David left for college to study architectural design, not knowing that God had other designs for him. Raised in the church, he was running from God, and after his first year of college, God brought him to a place where he could run no longer. Surrendering to Him, David moved to Texas to study for ministry. It was there he truly met Jesus and learned to walk with Him.
David also met his wife, Deana (a true Texan), and has walked with her in this incredible life in Christ ever since. Their family consists of their two adult children and their families … including two grandkids.
David and Deana have served in Belleville since 1991 in various capacities of ministry. Pastor David is Ordained by the Christian and Missionary Alliance and this association, has opened many new doors for personal ministry, and has given our fellowship of believers many new opportunities to continue their work for Jesus.
Hector Jimenez - Next Generation Pastor
Pastor Hector was born in Barranquilla, Colombia and at 15 years old, he moved to Bogotá D.C. to serve full-time in ministry. As the son of a pastor, Hector grew up being very involved with church activities and ministry. Hector’s parents were very involved in planting churches and leading in ministry, so the calling to ministry was always present. Hector came to know Christ and surrendered his life to Him in the year 2012, after living for 3 years in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he went to college and got his music and production degree.
In 2015, Hector married his wife, Katie, and since then they have been serving the Lord and sharing His Word with others. After serving as pastors and missionaries for almost 10 years in Colombia, their family moved to the U.S. in July 2021. Their desire to obey God's will brought them to Illinois, where they have served Hope Chapel and their community since the beginning of the year 2022. In April 2022 they were licensed as official workers for the C&MA and Hector is currently enrolled in the C&MA School Of Ministry. Hector is also finishing a 3-year program with the Langham Preaching School.
Hector and Katie have two children: Lili (4) and Joshua (1 ½). Their passion as a couple has been the same since the beginning: to share, live, and love Jesus, while serving their community.
