Our Story

God grabbed our hearts as kids and later called us to a life of career ministry.

We met at Bible college and together followed God on what has been quite the journey so far - from the corporate business world of Chicago, to the streets and grassroots ministries of Italy, to where we find ourselves now consulting ministry leaders 

around the globe while based in small-town USA!

​

A lot has happened in the decades that took us from there to here 

and while it looked different in every season, our hearts to serve and build the kingdom through arts and justice ministries have remained the same.

​

We are honored that you are here, we treasure your partnership with us, 

and we are humbled to be part of the global story of redemption our God is writing.

"Not to us, not to us O Lord, but to your name be the glory." (Psalm 115:1)

Art Ministry

Jon loves art and harnessing its power to help people to experience God. 

Paintings inspired by Scripture, art workshops, and design assets for ministries are creative endeavors that point to Christ. Now he's consulting other artist missionaries to do the same.

Business for Mission

Prior to full time ministry, Jon worked in  in the corporate business world where he gained invaluable skills. His ability to apply business sense to ministry efforts  has been so useful especially in working with art missionaries who can use extra support in those aspects. 

"Through the avenue of Creative Arts, Jon says, “We are harnessing the power of the arts to create opportunities for people to experience God.”"
