Randall Schlabach
Program name: Marketplace Worker, transForm
Serving since: 2023
Vocation: Recovery Ministry
Randall is a pastor who is launching a recovery ministry from pornography addiction for men in Wayne and Holmes counties in Ohio. His plan is to offer men’s groups that revolve around two Christian recovery programs, a well-known 10-week study called The Conquer Series, and also an eight-month program called Seven Pillars of Freedom. His desire is to minister regionally and separately from his local congregation. Randall lives with his wife, Kirstin, in Mt. Eaton, Ohio, and serves his home congregation, Martins Creek Mennonite Church, as the half-time interim assistant pastor.
While Randall’s ministry is his own, he has a special partnership with Martins Creek Mennonite and its pastor, Jay Conn. He relates to Evana and connects regularly with a local group of Evana pastors. He is developing a strong partnership with the local Christian recovery groups in his area. He is also meeting with local pastors who, knowing the need in their area, have encouraged Randall to move forward with his call and to create a board.
