Pastor Jason Zhao
Contract Mandarin Pastor
鸣杰传道爱慕神的话语，一生立志考究、遵行、传讲神的话语，深信神的话语是个人属灵生命的根基。信主后积极追求属灵生命的成长，委身于教会生活，深感若要活出追随基督的门徒生命，群体中有生命相交的小组是必不可少的。
鸣杰传道出生于中国内蒙古包头市，成长于太湖之畔的江南水乡无锡市，性格中兼备北方人的豪爽和南方人的细腻。中年信主后，被耶稣基督的大爱所降服，确信唯有福音的大能可以使人脱离罪的捆绑辖制，而得到自由释放。 2016年道学硕士毕业后，致力于在不同社区传福音、植堂的工作。近年来，看到Stouffville社区的华人不断增多，盼望可以在此广传福音、造就门徒。
鸣杰传道与妻子张雯育有一女，女儿Jodie已经长大成人；目前举家居住在美丽的Simcoe湖畔。平常爱好钓鱼、跑步、远足、打高尔夫球等户外活动，也喜欢在自己院子里种些花木，闲来泡一壶茶、读一本好书，感觉也是非常惬意。
Pastor Jason loves the word of God, and is dedicated to studying, obeying, and preaching it, with the conviction that it is the foundation of one's spiritual life. After becoming a Christian, Pastor Jason always pursues spiritual growth and is committed to church life. He deeply feels that life sharing fellowship is vital to true Christian discipleship.
Pastor Jason was born in Baotou of Inner Mongolia, China. He grew up in Wuxi, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River on the banks of Taihu Lake. In his character is found both the boldness of the northerners and the delicacy of the southerners. After his conversion in middle age, he was subdued by the great love of Jesus Christ and firmly believes that only the power of the gospel can free people from the bondage of sin. After graduating with a Master of Divinity in 2016, Pastor Jason was involved in evangelism and church planting in different communities. Seeing the increasing number of Chinese in Stouffville in recent years, he hopes to spread the gospel and make disciples among these people.
Pastor Jason and his wife, Zhang Wen, have a grown-up daughter, Jodie, and currently live by the beautiful Lake Simcoe. He loves outdoor activities like fishing, running, hiking, and golfing. He also enjoys gardening, making tea, and reading a good book in his leisure time.
