Jon and his wife, Dawn, live in Rosedale, Ohio, most of the time. Early in their marriage they served for several years as apprentice church planters in Ecuador, an experience that has shaped their understanding of the church and global missions ever since. After returning to Ohio for graduate school, Jon was invited to teach a class at Rosedale Bible College, and that relationship turned into twenty-five years of teaching courses in history, theology and ethics. Along the way, Jon and Dawn have also lived for months or years in China, North Africa and Costa Rica. They are the parents of four young-adult sons—all married—and are loving their new role as grandparents.
