About Gene

Our work with JARON Ministries has a global focus. Our ministry centers on the training of national pastors and church leaders around the world. We have developed study courses and are in the continual process of developing new courses that will help train pastors who already have a limited formal education but need more training in how to effectively fulfill their pastoral ministry.
God has placed on our hearts the desire to be involved in the training of national pastors and their wives. We have made several trips to the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Grenada and Trinidad/Tobago where we are training pastors and church leaders. As we survey the need of pastors overseas for further education, we have sensed God’s leading to invest our lives in this ministry. We are in the process of developing practical, biblically based courses for pastors, which we are using in the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba and our JARON Bible Institute here in Fresno. The courses use the scriptural principle of training key pastors in small groups in order that they in turn can teach other pastors and church leaders (2 Timothy 2:2).
Currently our ministry has targeted the Philippines, Mexico and Cuba where we are training key leaders from two to four times a year or more frequently as travel funds are available. The courses we have already developed and are teaching are Personal Holiness, Spiritual Life of the Pastor, Pastoral Leadership, and Marks of a Healthy Church.
