Keith Jones, MTS in Christian Foundations - Graduate 2010

Keith Jones, graduate of MTS in Christian Foundations, with a minor in pentecostal studies.

Keith is married to Suzanne, and they have a 3 year old daughter, Maija-Liisa.

Keith was baptized as a Lutheran, but the family was not active in the church. So when depression took a hold of him in his high school years, his first inclination was not to turn to faith. He attempted to relieve his sense of despair through the party scene. His sister, all the while, was telling him about Jesus. One day, at 17, as the depression deepened and the despair broadened, he prayed: “God if you are real, show yourself to me.”
God showed Himself to Keith.

His early spiritual formation came at the Finnish Pentecostal Church on Bayview Ave in Toronto. After being involved as a youth leader there, he enrolled in Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener to learn more about his faith.

He came to us while serving as Youth Pastor at Calvary Pentecostal Church in Lindsay. The desire to learn was still there. He chose Master’s @ Tyndale because of the opportunity to do graduate work and qualify for credentials.

While anticipating further opportunities in ministry, particularly in a church plant, he has decided to, in his words, “have a greater effect on his sphere of influence, that is, to love his neighbours.”
