Ishmael LaBiosa serves as associate pastor for Liberty Baptist Church after serving more than 900 churches through the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia for 13 years. Ishmael began his broadcast journalism career as a news reporter for WSET ABC 13 News in Lynchburg. God called him out of the news to ministry. The Lord blessed Ishmael with his wife, Sara, and four boys: Ethan, Jayden, Rylan, and Deacon. He holds true to the Gospel message of what Jesus shared with His disciples in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
