We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.

Colossians 1:28

Jonathan was born in Kobe, Japan, the son of missionaries who served there for 46 years. The Lord saved Jonathan as a young boy during one of his family's furloughs in the US. Some time after returning to Japan, he shared his testimony with the church there to be voted as a member, and was baptized in the Pacific Ocean. Jonathan graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in engineering and then received his Masters of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Brittany, married in 1996 and are the parents of three children and two grandchildren. Jonathan works as an engineer in the automotive industry full time, but his greatest joy and desire comes from serving the Lord and seeing Him glorified among the nations.
