Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!
This is great news!
I ditto Cheryl's sentiments, I was afraid a man of his gifts would be snatched up quickly. I am glad to know that we have made this call.
We will miss him. Jonathan is a dedicated preacher and friend. Truly he will be a blessing wherever the Lord calls him.
