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 so blessed and honored to be Evangelism & Missions Pastor of Grace Fellowship Church. My desire is that our church would overflow with God's love and grace to lead others into an ever-flourishing relationship with Jesus Christ. God has given me a profound opportunity to carry out His commission. By training volunteers and actively participating in the ministry of evangelism to influence others for Christ and bring them into the church by exploring mission opportunities, nationally and internationally.
I was born and brought up in a strong Hindu family in a small village in India. I am a first-generation Christian. At the age of 19 I accepted Lord Jesus as my savior. Later I shared the gospel with my mother and other family members as my first mission, and they committed to the Lord. I received my Master of Divinity, then worked as a missionary with India Campus Crusade for Christ; making mission trips to West Africa, Kuwait, India, and the USA.
I have been married to Unicey Kakuturi for over 18 years and we have two wonderful sons, Joel S Max, and Sam Noel. As a family, We love the Lord and want to do greater things in this life. We also enjoy traveling and spending time exploring new places.
