2009 was a major turning point in Jon's life and the focus of By Design Visuals. Jon attended the ION Conference (Int'l Orality Network) and met the ION Prayer Team. God used this powerful team to reshape the direction of Jon's life and ministry at a critical time. That team still covers Jon and By Design Visuals in prayer today. Jon also met Bryan Thompson, a colleague of Dorothy Miller, Founder of The God's Story Project. Dorothy became Jon's spiritual mentor and ministry partner. Dorothy wrote the script for God's Story: From Creation to Eternity, an 80-minute audio/visual presentation (now available in over 400 languages of the world).
