He did not go to the Superbowl this year. He is a steelers fan and is recovering from there lost. He is a middle schooler son and two younger ones. Group up in south central PA in a pastors home. Came to know the LORD at a young age. Serving God is all he knows. Has a great heritage and learned from his parents to have a servants heart. He went to do ministry finding a need and served. Ministry was not a job , but he is. His dad had two jobs for 8 years and also pastored. So he had to work and pastor at the same time. All his conversations go back to talking about ministry. He says ministry is fun to him. His calling came when around 13 years old at Church and went to the altar told God he will give him everything and Baptize in the Holy Spirit. He started preaching at age 13 and his son preached three times at the age of 12. He loves sports. He married an athlete a field hockey player. He traveled during his senior year and preached to youth. The LORD has blessed him and put himself through college and worked through college. He has an pastoral ministry degree. Minor in evangelism and led worshipped at a church. Ministered Jesus with the homeless at the park. His dorm would do ministry together. Got married at age 19 third year of college and was on staff at church and went to community college. Lived off college. Church pays him to be a youth pastor. Wife got a job as an office manager. He and his wife had no money and followed Gods call it was romantic which means to lay it all down. He knew that is where God wanted him. In Minneapolis. God provides him a job as a parking lot supervisor. Graduated at age 21. Moved to union town PA in 1999. Then became a youth alive director. He saw God work in his teens life and see them serve in college and follow the LORD. His youth group grew to 110 kids and told them to bring their friends to youth. His teens did a lot of mission work on school campus. Did a big night once a quarter. Disciple students and build up to big nights. The Church was heavy on outreach. He loves to evangelize. Ministry is not behind the pulpit and not when we have an audience. They wanted to find where are the students and naturally the schools. As a youth pastor they would pick kids up at school. Created a place where kids would want to hang out. They did not say we wish we could have that , but did what they could with they had. They picked up students from 4 campus. Miracles and God divine plan. Unless the LORD build the house its a waste of time. He started to build relationships with everyone in town. He just introduced himself.Every relationship turned into a opportunity. Its all about relationship. Every relationships turns into an opportunity. 9 11 he brought an a. Get a prayer habit don't wait for the presence wait in the presence. God has divinely led Jason and his wife and his family everywhere he is called to go as a Youth Alive Director.
