Our vision over the next three years, is to lead in excess of 810,000 people to the Lord. The ministry was established in 1994 after Jonathan had been training with international evangelist Don Double of Good News mission and after a unique encounter with God...

Early formative years

During his teenage years at public school, Jonathan and his brother brought over 100 of the boys to Christ some of whom are in the ministry today. Travelling to and from school by train he would challenge the commuters with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He saw a large number saved as he simply offered prayer for healing. At the age of 17 years, when considering his future career, Jonathan had a night vision. All through the night he encountered Jesus, who commissioned him to preach the Gospel.

  

Valley ministries born

Sensing the call of God strongly in his heart, Jonathan turned down the offer of a successful career in business and at the age of nineteen became a full time Evangelist - in training with Don Double of 'Good News mission'. After an initial training period of seven years, Jonathan, with Don's blessing launched out with a call to the nations. Valley Ministries was born in 1994.

Jonathan recounts the history and prophetic word over Valley Ministries. "God spoke that Valley Ministries should take His miracles to the spiritual ‘valleys’ of the nations." At the heart and essence of V.M. was an apostolic call. It was to be a relationally based ministry, building up friendship and partnerships for the kingdom of God. It was to be a Holy Spirit led ministry. God spoke to Jonathan in an open vision and through the word, Joel 3: 14 saying, ‘I have called you to the spiritual valleys of the nations where I will display My miracles and deliverance to the poor and needy and the places where it is needed most.

Jonathan has been in full-time ministry for 17 years so far and has been privileged to lead in excess of 190,000 people to the Lord

Apostolic and local church

The fruit of the ministry has been seen not only in the salvation of tens of thousands of precious lives but, also in the planting of hundres of new churches in India, Uganda, Mexico, Ukraine, France and the UK. He is sent out from Cheam Community Church where he serves as part of the leadership team and is welcomed especially with his advice on church planting and evangelism. Jonathan is a well-seasoned preacher and teacher of the word with a numerous variety of specialist subjects to draw from. He has seen God heal all manner of diseases, perform some creative miracles and on a few occasions seen the dead raised. In some meetings the Lord has even blessed us by appearing to some in the gatherings, who were wonderfully healed or changed in their character as a result.
