Jon and Sarah, both alumni of ABC, joined ABF in 2001. They are sent from Colonial Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, VA and are blessed with four children: Claire, Katie, Jonathan, and Benjamin.

Why are you passionate about your role at ABC?
We are burdened to train the next generation of servants and see them transformed by the power of the Word of God. It is a great privilege to see servants grow in love with Christ and His Word and pursue a lifetime of gospel service. By God's grace, He has used us to impact servants who are now around the world, spreading the grace and truth of our Lord Jesus.
