Jonathan likes going where no man has gone before and doing what no sane one would dare to do. Fortunately, he has had Janie beside him for 16 years to help keep him alive, and has three kids - Darragh 14, Dannah 12, and Daylon 9 that love him no matter where he takes them or what he makes them do.
 
Jonathan first went to Asia right out of College in 1986 for two years. After getting his Master's from the International School of Theology in 1990 he and Janie plugged into Good Shepherd and in 1994 took his family back to the remote regions of Central Asia to reach Communists and Muslims with the Good News (and to mt. bike and backpack remote mountain valleys).
Jonathan loves people, and loves getting away with just his family on lonely mountain trails near the tree line.

Ryan Moffat and his wife Michelle have been married five years and have two wonderful daughters Ashlynn and Lorelai. Ryan has been attending Good Shepherd Community Church for 14 years and absolutely loved his days in Jr. High and high school ministry with Steve Keels and Lenny Martin. Apparently he loved so much that he decided to do the same and invest his life into students’ lives.

Ryan attended Multnomah Bible College from 1999-2002 and came to Good Shepherd’s staff in February 2003 to work with the student ministry. Besides shepherding students Ryan loves basketball (playing, coaching, watching), getting time with his girls, laughing with friends, and seeing lives changed for the glory of Christ.

Almost immediately upon receiving Christ into his heart at age 16 in his hometown of La Jolla, California, Bruce Wickersheim sensed God’s calling on his life to serve Him in full-time ministry. As a young believer, Bruce began writing songs and leading worship for Bible studies with high school friends, and later, in dorm and fraternity gatherings at UCLA, where he graduated with a music composition degree in 1981.

In 30 years of serving Jesus, Bruce has helped to plant over 10 church ministries, toured with recording artists, produced numerous contemporary praise and worship recordings, hosted radio and television programs, and has had over 50 of his original songs published internationally. He has served in full- and part-time capacities at over 20 churches throughout the West Coast, as well as directed worship teams at multi-denominational conferences and seminars, including two all-city gatherings associated with the Portland Billy Graham Crusade of 1992.

Bruce met the love of his life, Tammy, as they were serving together on a church-planting team in Battle Ground, WA, and married in 1997. Bruce currently shepherds and oversees the instrumental team ministry at Good Shepherd, and is blessed to help lead the family of God in worshipping Him.
