James Bi
Director of Production and Integration
Born and raised in China, James came to Toronto with his family when he was 14. In the same year, he heard the gospel for the first time and committed his life to following Jesus. He spent his adolescent years at a Chinese church in North York, where he grew to love Jesus and the Bible. James came to Grace Fellowship Church Don Mills in 2014, and later met his wife Bridgette.
James loves Toronto and its tortured sport teams, but mostly because of the opportunities to meet and engage people from all over the world. He longs to see the gospel transform and unite people from different backgrounds. James left his full-time position as a nurse in Fall 2018 and joined the staff team as a pastoral assistant.

Femi Ijaodola
Director of Discipleship and Prayer
There's a lot in a name. Femi's full name, 'Oluwafemi', in his native language (Yoruba) means 'God loves me', and each day he learns the truth in his name. Born in Nigeria, Femi first moved to England in his younger years, and resolved to follow Christ while in university studying Accounting and Business Management. In God's providence, he moved to Toronto, Canada in 2014. In 2017, he started attending Grace Fellowship Church with his wife Aszerina, and a year later, joined the team as a Pastoral Assistant.
Femi hopes to convey God's love for the lost as displayed in the person of Jesus Christ, and as an aspiring writer, he hopes to use his gifts to that end. Along with publishing a book, he often writes songs and poetry, and occasionally contributes to a group blog.
You can get in contact with Femi via email here.
