Jason Lamer

I remember seeing Jason and his wife years ago when I was in youth group. Then I had the privilege of working close with him during Master’s Commission. Every time I saw him, it was in a very fast-pace-professional environment so it was really awesome to hear him calmly share heart and God’s calling for his life.
Even though we work with him in the public schools, I had no idea how much actually goes into his work. It’s so wonderful to see his passion for kids who don’t know Christ because public schools are a very hard place to present the name of Jesus.
One of the things that I admire so much is the 777 follow-up plan that his team devised. It seems to me that for the speakers we’ve heard so far, there is an issue with following up with people who are new believers. One thing Jason mentioned that I liked a lot was that you can’t just get them saved and walk away. It’s not enough to call a new believer a week later and that’s all. Be consistent! Consistency grows comfort and when people are more comfortable, they are more likely to get involved and grow in their faith.
The most bitter-sweet comment he made all night was this: “The hardship of our country will be the harvest of the church!” Bitter because it’s a shame that our country will be enduring hardship but sweet because it’s in desperation that people are apt to look for faith.
