Thanks for stopping by! This should give you a little more information about me.

Christian Vision for Men

As of July 2009 I have started work for a ministry in the UK called Christian Vision for Men. With the task of, "equipping the church to introduce every man in the UK to Jesus Christ" the organisation has its hands full!

Stay tuned for more information about this project ...

History

Jonathan SherwinBorn in Scotland, and growing up in both Scotland and England I left home in 2004 to head for Maui to do my Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM).

A year later I returned to Maui to study in the School of Biblical Foundations and Missions (SBFM). There are introductions to apologetics (a defense of our faith) and worldviews. We learnt cross-cultural communication and study teachings from such people as Francis Schaeffer and Richard Foster. Numerous guest speakers, some leaders in their respective fields, present weekly lectures and the whole program is centered on discipleship.

After the lecture phase a group of us headed to south-east Asia to teach and disciple Christians in Thailand, Nepal and India. This was my first introduction to serious teaching and what a location for it! The challenge of different cultures with the burden of communicating God’s truth left a mark on my life and is with me to this day. All over the world people near to hear the good news of God’s truth! I knew that God wanted to use me for this.

I returned to Maui after my outreach, this time as a staff member. I initially worked with the SBFM team later becoming the team leader, and then the Director. In June of 2007 I took on the position of Personnel Director, effectively head of discipleship for the YWAM base in Maui.

2008 saw me take some time out for medical reasons at the beginning of the year before heading back to Maui and out to Asia once more to run a 4-week school. The first part of 2009 saw me working hard, teaching in the DTS and working on the brand new YWAM Maui website.

In April 2009 I left Maui, heading back to Bath, England, where I've immediately got stuck in with the church in Bath, as well as setting up my own web design company, however primarily focussing on my role with Christian Vision for Men.

Moving back to Bath doesn't mean 'settling down' - far from it! I have many exciting projects on the go, both in the UK and around the world so do keep in touch as I push onwards with the Lords calling for my life.

Found out more about my recent trips and forthcoming plans in the Partners area.
