Bio for Jonathan Williams Jonathan was a teaching pastor for over 35 years with Great Commission Churches where he also served on the National Leadership Council and the Doctrinal Ministry Committee.

These stories and the video are now being translated into numerous languages for worldwide distribution. He is currently heard in Albania, Kosovo, and Nepal in their native languages and worldwide on Trans World Radio. He is also in discussion with television executives to turn the stories into a dramatic television series. Jonathan is a teacher and the author of several books including The Women Jesus Loved, The Mystery of Mary Magdalene, and Changing the Stories of the World.
