He found me there: Jonny’s Story of God’s Pursuit

BST alumnus Jonny’s story is a powerful testimony of God’s grace and pursuit. 

Recently featured in Faith Stories with Naomi Reed, Jonny shared his journey from a Christian upbringing to years of rebellion, addiction, and pain—and the life-changing moment when the Holy Spirit met him in the most unexpected place.

Through the prayers of family and the truth of God’s Word, Jonny encountered the grace of Jesus in a way that turned his life around completely. He went from guilt and addiction to forgiveness, freedom, and a lifetime of Christian service.

For over 10 years, Jonny served on staff at BST as our Residential Chaplain and Facilities Manager, shaping the community and investing in the lives of many through his presence and practical care.

Today, Jonny and his wife pastor a church in Oberon, and his heart is to see others captivated by the grace of God and the power of the gospel.

We encourage you to read Jonny’s full story on the Faith Stories with Naomi Reed Facebook page. It’s a testimony of radical grace, transformation, and a God who never gives up on us.
