Jason Van Der Merwe

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level position. Ready to help team achieve company goals. Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.

My faith has grown me into the person I am today, and I have been actively involved in church life and volunteer work within my church for many years. I have been a member of Open Skies Church for eight years. I am involved in ministries that include, but are not limited to, the Love ministry, a street outreach program helping the homeless and engaging in prayer with them as we walk the streets to reach out to them. I also serve on the weekly host team, as well as during special events and conferences. I participate in Fuse, a small group for young adults. This has grown me spiritually and allowed me to better understand and practice spiritual disciplines as I continue to grow my relationship with God. Prior to Open Skies Church, I served as a Sunday school teacher for four years at St. Agnus Anglican Church, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I know that God has a plan for my life, and I wish for nothing more than to follow the calling that God has placed upon my life, to pursue full-time ministry in the United States. I am still discerning, but I strongly sense that God is calling me to a ministry actively involved in social justice and/or humanitarian work as I have a heart for the afflicted. I am excited and prepared to step out in faith and go where God needs me.

I enjoying working out moderately with friends and occasionally playing social action cricket.
