BSM Director PO Box 835932, Richardson, TX 75803 432-213-2335 bsm.utdallas@gmail.com
WJohn's greatest joy is serving and sharing the love of Christ with the diverse community of international students at UTD. He loves seeing students experience genuine care, ask meaningful questions about faith, and encounter the hope of the gospel through authentic relationships.
Two passages have especially shaped John's approach to ministry. The story of the Good Samaritan reminds him to intentionally pursue and care for students, meeting practical needs and building relationships before they ever have to ask for help. The account of the Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7 reminds him that the invitation to follow Jesus is for everyone. No matter a person's culture, background, or beliefs, John is passionate about helping students discover that they are welcomed by Christ through faith.
