Besides humanitarian aid and community outreach, Ps Jason is also invited to teach in many different Churches across different denominations (Methodist, Presbyterian, Brethren, AOG, Anglican). Ministries include, Marketplace outreach, CANCER outreach, as well as Church Leaders Training to establish Holiness in our Life and Marriage and how to Overcome Fear, Depression, Cancer and Suicidal Tendencies (through Christ). These countries include Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Pakistan, Australia, Canada and USA.
