Assistant Minister Jono Smith. Jonathan lived the first 24 of his 27 years in the same house on 15 acres in Diamond Creek, and was well trained in mischief-making as he grew up with an older brother, and younger brother and sister.After finishing VCE, he spent three years working and travelling throughout the USA, UK, and Australia while periodically working as a labourer in the building industry. In 2004 he started to take a keen interest in Renée Hayman, the 'girl next door' whom he had grown up with at St. John's Church in Diamond Creek. Two years later they married in that same church. Renée currently works as an Ambulance Paramedic for the Metropolitan Ambulance Service. Jonathan graduated from Ridley College, and was ordained in February 08. He is zealous to see Gospel ministry flourish in Melbourne, and has a particular love for preaching, discipling, and men's ministries. Outside the church, he likes nothing better than to 'pack the ute' and go fly-fishing with his wife Renée and faithful dog Chester. Jonathan's heroes are: his Grandfather Cyril, C. S. Lewis, John Bunyan, Charles Spurgeon, William Wilberforce, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, William Wallace, Samwise Gamgee, Belgian Beer Brewers, and all true supporters of Liverpool Football Club. Jonathan's vision for his first year at Holy Trinity is to honour God in the way that he lives and ministers to the people of the church. He has a particular desire to see spiritual growth and a zeal for ministry among the young adults, and prays that God would establish a 'rip-snorting' young adults men's ministry that would train young men to love, and live like, Jesus.
