Jeffrey Johnson is energized about his work, explaining how he enjoys seeing congregations and church members alike get excited about sharing their faith. "Seeing churches move from a maintenance to 'missional' mindset, and feel free to think outside the traditional box of evangelism to share their faith, is so empowering to them and encouraging to me," he says.

Johnson's work with American Baptist Home Mission Societies involves refining and developing the Got Style?™ personality-based evangelism training, coaching members of the National Evangelism Team (NET) with introductory and enhanced NET training sessions, and reading and staying knowledgeable about the field of evangelism as a resource to churches and their leaders.

"Although there is only one way to God through Jesus, there are many avenues God uses to bring people to faith in Christ," Johnson says. His passion for evangelism led him to accept a position with American Baptist Home Mission Societies, under the auspices of the NEW LIFE 2010 initiative. He hopes to help complete making 1,000,010 new disciples by 2010, to reach the initiative's ultimate goal.

Johnson also looks forward to overseeing exponential growth of NET. "At least 20 percent of our American Baptist churches undergo intentional consideration of contextual evangelism, looking outside their walls into their community and making both a spiritual and societal impact, changing both the soul of the individual and the community," he says.

"When I'm not focused on work, I enjoy reading, especially related to history. I appreciate things that are old and therefore enjoy antiquing, and I have a particular fascination for old coins and old cars. I own a 1928 Bentley replica," Johnson says.
