​The Revd Dr Jonathan Wong’s passion is to help people understand the lavish, undeserved love that God has for each one of us. This gospel (“good news”) orientation is at the heart of all that he does as the pastor of the English-speaking congregation of the Church of the Good Shepherd. He received his tertiary education in the United States of America and in Canada but was born and raised in Singapore. His ordained ministry with the Diocese of Singapore began in 1998. Since then he has been involved with youth work and church planting both locally and abroad for most of his ministry life, and as a result, has a heart to help train and develop young leaders towards gospel-centred church ministry.​
