John
Henderson is best known as the founder of an innovative youth ministry
out of YFC/Chicago called Salt Co. whose example and leadership were
instrumental in developing the world’s largest student leadership
conference in America called DC/LA. In 1985, he became the founding
pastor of Ginger Creek Community Church in the western suburbs of Chicago,
Illinois. It grew to become one of the most innovative and successful
churches in the Chicago area.
Officially, in 2003, John was called to another assignment – to
develop an ‘outside the box’ enterprise called ‘Planet
Ventures’ through which ordinary people generate, initiate and
implement ideas that could have extraordinary impact on the Planet… for
Good. This mission is directed at the local and global community simultaneously
and finds ‘common ground’ to build relational bridges with
people from all religions and nations. Through specific innovative
and local initiatives, ordinary people and their community leaders
can make a world-class impact on planet earth.
To devote the time required to this new venture,
John left Ginger Creek Community Church while retaining the title
of Founding Pastor Emeritus. He continues to maintain close ties
to Ginger Creek, as he reaches out to the global community of people
of all faiths and governments striving to discover innovative ways
to nurture and sustain peace, friendship, and mutual respect on earth
in order to find God’s
purpose for all.
John has gathered several key people to guide and contribute to this
venture.
