Pastor Farril & Lynda DeFoor
Lead Pastors
Lynda and I are lifelong residents of New Mexico. Little did I know all my trips to Portales to see my great grandmother and commuting back and forth to Eastern New Mexico University. I was missing the love of my life. If I had looked to my right as I pulled into Portales, I would have known I was passing her. As I went to college, I ate all the Pat’s Twin Cronnie burgers and shakes I could eat and drink. Little did I know I was supporting my Bride long before we were married because her parents owned the restaurant! I’m still supporting her 30 years later. The last 30 years have gone by like a whirlwind, but they are the best years of my life, to say the least!
Lynda and I Pastored in New Mexico and Texas. We are now back home in Clovis, New Mexico. We are ready to pour into the lives of people of Eastern New Mexico and West Texas. We’re excited to be here and are extremely grateful to God for this opportunity to touch people and reach them with the love and grace of God.
We want to encourage you to come and be a part of what God is doing at Grace Fellowship Church. We want to invite you to visit and discover the difference Grace can make in your life. We are looking forward to seeing you every Sunday at 10:30 am.
Rev. Solomon R Nakka
Evangelism & Missions Pastor
I’m honored to serve as the Evangelism & Missions Pastor at Grace Fellowship Church. My passion is to see our church overflow with God’s love—reaching others and leading them into a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s a joy to be part of God’s Great Commission: training volunteers, sharing the gospel, and engaging in local and global missions.
I was born into a devout Hindu family in a small Indian village and became a first-generation Christian at 19. My first mission field was my own family—by God’s grace, many came to faith, including my mother.
After earning a Master of Divinity, I served with India Campus Crusade for Christ in places like West Africa, Kuwait, India, and the U.S.—each experience fueling my heart for evangelism and global mission.
I’ve been married to Unicey Kakuturi for over 18 years, and we’re blessed with two sons, Joel S. Max and Sam Noel. As a family, we love the Lord, serve together, and enjoy traveling—using every opportunity to share God’s love.
