Jan Johnsonius serves as team leader for SyncroNations, the Madrid university team focused on seeing Spanish university students come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Jan moved to Madrid in December 2002 after serving for seven years as director of international student services at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. She earned her master of divinity degree from Southwestern in December 2001. Before joining the Seminary staff, Jan served with the International Board in Argentina alongside her husband, Jim, who was killed in an auto accident on the field in 1993. Jan’s background also includes work as a newspaper reporter, editor and photographer, as well as public relations director for several organizations, including Southwestern Seminary, Methodist Health Systems and The Virginia Opera. Jan is a native of Ohio, but considers both Tennessee and Texas as home. Jan sees her calling to Spain as a career ministry, rather than short-term, planting her life in Spain and seeking to develop relationships with university students and professors, being involved in and providing to others outreach opportunities such as language exchange, English conversation groups, seeker discussion groups and simple churches in homes. She is also seeing God move through the lives of Study Abroad students from the U.S. who come to complete a semester or two of study in Spain, and discover they can be on mission with God at the same time!
