Hi friends,
   I, Jonathan Smith, am very excited to share with you concerning my opportunity to work with Adventures in Missions and to go on the world race.  Now 22 years old,  I reflect on my childhood during which I grew up in a small town called Wynne, Arkansas as the middle child of three.  I have one younger brother and one older sister.  I grew up in a Christian home, where my mom, a former school teacher, is presently an assistant principle at Wynne High School and my father is a pastor at Christian Fellowship Church.  I gave my life to Christ at the young age of six.  It was the best decision I ever made.  For most of my childhood through high school years I participated in an innercity youth program called Boys 2 Men/ Girls 2 Women.  This organization was started for at risk youth.  There I learned the meaning of serving others and hard work.  Those work ethics would carry me through college where I was blessed with a degree in Christian Studies with an emphasis in Theology.  During my college years, I was able to be apart of a special summer camp called T Bar M.  At this camp, I developed a deep relationship with Christ and a huge passion to serve Him and to tell others about Him.  I was able to work at this camp for three summers.  I just finished my third summer and now I’m looking forward to doing the world race.
