Jon and Julie have been married since June 2003 and have four children together – Joshua, Jessica, Josiah and Jonathan (Jonny). Jon’s walk with the Lord began with conversations with his father-in-law many years ago near Ocklawaha, FL. It was shortly after those discussions, at a small Baptist church in Gainesville, that Jon surrendered to Christ and was baptized.
Jon spent many years distracted by military service, followed by the pursuit of money and worldly success in the civilian sector. He believes that we must deny ourselves fully to begin our process of edification and sanctification (Luke 9:23) and that our old self “dies” when we are reborn as Christians (Eph 4:22-24). He also believes that families are a gift from God, and that we are under constant attack from the enemy. Our family is an attestment to satin’s relentless efforts, but also to God’s grace and strength to keep us united in Him through all trials.
Jon and Julie are heavily involved in the Christian homeschool community and believe that parents are called to be the primary disciples of their children. We are to steward their spiritual growth, all under the umbrella of church leadership and wisdom that the Lord has blessed us with.
We look forward to partnering with your family on your spiritual journey!
