Jonathan Just
B.A., University of Cape Town, 2013
M.A., Wheaton College, anticipated 2027
Having been transformed by the power of cross-cultural Kingdom community while doing his undergrad at the University of Cape Town, it’s now what Jonathan loves to see wherever he goes. Born and raised in the heart of South Africa, it was soon after he gave his life to Jesus that the Lord brought Chicago onto his radar. Through many divine connections with so many different Wheaton people at various stages along the way, they were each signposts of confirmation for where the Lord was still calling him to go. Now, after about 18 years, he is experiencing the fulfillment of that promise!
Jonathan is passionate about the Word and opening that up with young people who are hungry to know God more. There’s nothing more beautiful than how the Spirit transforms us into the image of Christ as we remain rooted in the Word. He has the great joy of experiencing this with Discipleship Ministries as an overseer for male Discipleship Small Groups (DSGs).
Jonathan also enjoys playing squash (the sport, not the vegetable) and going on adventures with good friends outdoors. He’s not too sure how the ‘outdoors’ part is going to look like in winter, so please pray for him!
