About

Hey there! My name is Ian Forest-Jones and I’m really glad to have you visit my site.

I am publishing to this site my thoughts, ideas and resources on faith in Jesus and a Christian lifestyle because I want to encourage and equip you for ministry and mission.¹ In addition, I want to foster and facilitate an online community of like-minded persons, with local expressions, beginning in Liverpool, NSW, Australia.

The following video will give you a good sense of how I came to have faith in Jesus, since I was not born nor raised in a Christian family:

As you can see, my upbringing was not something I would wish anyone to have to endure. Plus, I am not your typical Christian nor church leader. I do not spend my days in an ivory tower, which is surprising, I know, given I have been in ministry for 25+ years across 6 denominations. My faith is real and honest and I too struggle to live a Christian lifestyle in a world gone mad and churches that appear irrelevant.

So, have a wander around my posts and pages. Please leave a comment or contact me directly. I’m on the top social media channels too!

1. The terms “ministry” and “mission” might not be entirely clear to you if you have not spent much time in and around Christian circles, but they are the best terms for the concepts. Their definition will become clearer as you read some of my articles.
