JEO Ministry serves Arab Christians and Muslims in Israel and Palastine. We have a focus on the young generation and share Christwith them at their level of understanding. Our ministry projects meet critical physical and spiritual needs that exist within the culture.
Today, the ministry has grown and evolved but the heart remains the same. Our ministry projects are based on three areas: community relationships and relief, evangelism and discipleship. This is a ‘funnel’ idea i.e. relationships open the door to evangelism which leads to discipleship which leads to planting people into churches and starting to make disciples themselves.
Our Vision is to see younger Arabs in the Holy Land coming to the Lord, growing in their faith, and becoming pillars for Christ in their communities.
Nick Bair

They had almost daily opportunities to lead recruits and sailors to Jesus through evangelism and discipleship, witnessing many come to faith before heading into harm’s way. Nick and Senja also helped enable the mission of command chapel programs by leading dozens of volunteers in several new ministries, serving military marriages, women, and children.
In 2013, Nick transitioned to serve as a leader in their mission’s organization. As the Director of Operations, he spearheaded operational improvements and led integration initiatives which aided in significant improvement to the agency’s finances and morale.

Mark Edwards
Mark was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. As a teen he lived the life of a chameleon Christian, an undercover saint, in his Chicago public high school. A though He knew that Jesus was the WAY and the TRUTH, he told no one. Somewhat ashamed of his faith and scared of being rejected, he said nothing. Feeling ill- trained and unequipped to share his faith in Christ he said nothing. He felt intimida ed and unsure of how to defend the Bible and share the gospel message. God sent a Christina man into his life who began to meet with him each week and disciple him, teaching him that not only was Jesus the WAY and the TRUTH but that Jesus was also the LIFE. He taught him the truth of Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Upon graduation from high school, he headed off to Bible school to learn more about Jesus and how to share Him with others. He has undergrad degrees from: Grace Bible College, Wyoming MI (80); Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL (82); Trinity University, Deerfield, IL (85). He also has a graduate degree from Moody Bible Institute , Chicago, IL (90)
He was married on November 1, 1980 to Karen Joan Kool. God graciously gave them 4 children: JohnMark, Joshua, Rachel, and MaryJo.
He has served with Sonlife Latin America for the last 28 years. His family moved to Costa Rica in December of 1994 to birth Sonlife Latin America. Sonlife Latin America works to train younger leadership in the life of Christ. They focus on helping the next generation to be and act like Jesus. They desire to see a generation of young people who possess both the character and priorities of Christ. Young people who display the character of Christ, as seen in the life of Jesus and attested to by the Apostle Paul in Philippines 2:5-8. They also desire to see young people possess the priorities of Christ as seen in the life of Jesus and attested to by the Apostle Paul in Acts 26:16-18. He now works across Latin America discipling, coaching and mentoring emerging leaders in the life of Christ. Jesus and the Apostle Paul are his models working “until Christ is formed” in others (Galatians 4:6). Make disciples who make disciples as Jesus and Paul did.
