JON BONKER has been a teaching elder in the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) since 2009. He received an M.Div. from Covenant Theological Seminary, and has been living in South Asia for some time with his wonderful wife, Katie, and their four precious kiddos (Hannah, Naomi, Judah, and Micaiah). He's definitely a work-in-progress (to put it kindly) but Jesus is surprisingly patient with him. He enjoys drinking coffee, spending time with his family, eating ginger snaps, listening to music, and teaching God's Word.
