Pastor John B. Lowe II

Biography

Pastor John B. Lowe II has devoted his life to sharing the Gospel and serving communities worldwide. For over 30 years, he has led New Life Church, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of Jesus Christ in people's lives. Under his leadership, the church has not only grown locally but has also expanded its reach globally, touching hearts from Warsaw to Ukraine and beyond.

Early Life, Sports, and Leadership

Before his pastoral journey, John B. Lowe II was an athlete and a fighter-both on the field and in the ring. As a college student, he took up boxing, a sport that tested his resilience and strength. In one particularly memorable match, he faced off against a fellow football player in a grueling three-round fight. Each round, he managed to knock his opponent down, and by the third round, he secured a decisive victory with a knockout.

His competitive nature extended to his time on the football team. Despite lacking proper uniforms and equipment, he and his teammates relied on sheer heart and determination. Their perseverance led them to win the school's only state championship. It was a lesson in teamwork, endurance, and the power of never giving up-values that would later shape his approach to ministry.

Prison Ministry: A Lifelong Calling

In 1984, Pastor Lowe received an invitation to begin preaching in prisons through Prison Fellowship. What started as a single opportunity turned into a lifelong calling. For 32 years, every Monday night, he made a three-hour round trip to WCC, where he ministered to inmates. This experience profoundly shaped his understanding of grace and redemption.

"Remember the prisoners as if chained with them-those who are mistreated-since you yourselves are in the body also." - Hebrews 13:3

Family and the Strength of Love

Pastor Lowe has been married to his beloved wife, Debbie, for almost 50 years. Their marriage is a testament to faith, commitment, and shared purpose. From the very beginning, Debbie felt a calling to serve others. As a young girl, she cared deeply for those in need, offering her time and resources to help the less fortunate. She cleaned homes for the disabled at no charge, cooked meals for the hungry, and extended kindness wherever she could.

Keeping the Gospel Public

Pastor Lowe has always believed in public faith. He emphasizes the importance of keeping the Gospel visible, ensuring that others see and experience the love of Jesus Christ. One of the ways he has done this is through public water baptisms.

Over the decades, Pastor John B. Lowe II has impacted countless lives through his ministry, his compassion, and his commitment to sharing the Gospel. His journey-from a young fighter to a dedicated pastor-reflects resilience, faith, and an unshakable belief in the transformative power of Jesus Christ.

Whether in church, on the streets, or in prisons around the world, his message remains the same: God's love is for everyone. And as long as he has breath, he will continue to spread that message, bringing hope to the lost and light to the darkness.
