In Joshua 1:9, the LORD calls you to be courageous – not because you are a gifted leader, strategist, organizer, communicator, motivator or fighter – because the Lord will be with you wherever you go.
Today I talk with a Jonathon Roe a long time good friend who helps faith based Non-profits fight back.
Jonathan Roe has been a non-profit coach and trainer in AZ for more than a decade, and is the Founder and CEO of Venture 1:9. Venture 1:9 (based on Joshua 1:9) guides non-profits to a place of courage, health, sustainability and impact, through free training, coaching and granting.
After graduating college in Boston, Jonathan spent 17 years in church leadership, pastoring two local churches near Washington, D.C. and Columbus, Ohio. In early 2008, he moved to Phoenix to launch and lead Mission Increase AZ (MI AZ), a ministry to strengthen Christian non-profit organizations. Under Jonathan’s leadership, MI AZ engaged hundreds of non-profit organizations, granted more than $2m for community and Kingdom impact, and built a close-knit family of Christian non-profit leaders.
Jonathan earned a Master of Divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Fuller Theological Seminary. His doctoral work focused on ministry management and leadership, combined with developing strategy and leading organizational change.
In addition to leading Venture 1:9, Jonathan teaches at the CCV Leadership Institute, serves as a Board Leadership & Governance Coach through City Gate Network, and is a coach and mentor for various community leaders.
Jonathan and his wife, Karla, live in Anthem AZ and have three children – Austin, MJ and Justin.
