all about johnny & jenni

Johnny & Jenni are a young newlywed couple who are deeply in love with each other and radically in love with Jesus Christ! Currently serving with YWAM in Kona, HI, Johnny & Jenni long to see the world come to know the love of Jesus, and are committed to Jesus Christ’s call to ‘make disciples of all nations”.

Who are we?

We are dedicated to knowing God as the primary pursuit of our lives, and to enjoy him in as much fullness as possible both in this life and forever! As a natural outcome of our discovery of God’s love, we are seeking to make him known to the people of world through as effective means as possible and to as many as possible. We believe the answer to the world’s problems lie solely in the person of Jesus Christ, and  even as we bring heaven to earth, we eagerly await his return!

We have been privileged work with YWAM since mid 2007, when we joined the staff of the DTS department at the University of the Nations in Kona, Hawaii. Since then, through staffing DTS’s and working with the team here, we have been learning what it means to truly “make disciples” (Matt 28:18) and teach them to do what Jesus commanded. Over the last three years we have been honored to pour into scores of lives and see them changed by the message of the Gospel. We have also discovered what it truly could mean to enter into a community which is centered solely around the presence of God! We feel called to continue to input into the community and the DTS program here in Kona for the net few years, as we grow in wisdom, revelation of Jesus, and skill in leadership and administration.

We dream of nations coming to know Christ. We dream of running together with a group of friends who have lost their lives for the sake of Christ, and therefore found them. We dream of revival. Of the church rising up to be all she can be – was created to be. We dream of centering our lives around the presence of God. Of praying until Jesus comes. Of poverty being ended. Slavery abolished. Hope stirred. Lives mended. The deaf hearing. The lame walking. We dream of Jesus. He is the only hope, and our only option.
