I feel a bit sheepish about this, but some of my colleagues have a few kind words to say about me and my work with InterVarsity. Here's a chance to meet some of my co-workers (and friends, really) — and in the process to learn more about my ministry.

"Jon's ability to bring clarity to complex discussions makes a significant contribution to the on-going conversation shaping our ministry goals and practice. It is hard to imagine the GFM leadership team and the ministry as a whole functioning as well as it does without Jon in the mix."

"I first worked with Jon on the Following Christ 2002 conference. He did an awesome job organizing, producing, and testing the conference website. So good, in fact, that we asked him to join our team and help us with all of InterVarsity's websites."

"Wrapped within Jon's service is his growing heart for God. He strives to know God better personally and professionally, which energizes his life and ministry and makes him an apt model for others to follow."

"We give Jon 'two thumbs up!' He thinks like an information-age editor and publisher. He has helped many InterVarsity ministries to move their web publishing efforts forward. Here in Information Services, we appreciate his deep questions, practical ideas, and sense of humor."

"Having known Jon as a friend for fifteen years, I was aware of his many talents and gifts. Not until working as colleagues, however, have I become aware of what a rare combination of gifts he has. He is creative, yet technically savvy. And then again, he is technically savvy, yet pastoral and caring. It is an unusual mix, and a powerful one in his current role."

"Jon is just the kind of colleague I would choose, not only for his considerable skill but also for the spirit of partnership that he brings to every new venture. He generously gives of himself: his input, creativity, thoughtfulness, and energy. I know that when we work together the results will be useful and beautiful."

"Jon's simultaneous grasp of ideas, the academy, and technology provides him a unique vantage point from which to understand how best to advance our ministry. His contribution is unparalleled in this regard, and it is hard to overstate how vital his ministry is to the flourishing of GFM."
