From Dealing Drugs to Running an NGO

Ten years ago Jon was selling drugs in Atlanta. He came out of the spin cycle of his life when he was in his early twenties. Then in 2010 he went on the Spring Semester in Thailand program and was baptized in the village with a bunch of Karen former drug addicts.


Many of you might remember Jon; he graduated from Covenant in 2010 and was a Sociology major. Last year he went back to serve the tribal people of Thailand. His energy and enthusiasm have been readily noted by Dr. Mike Leming: 


"I can't tell you what a blessing Jon has been to me in my life. He is able to do what I can no longer do. He is a person of faith and vision."


Jon has created his own Christian NGO and is self supporting.
