JOANNES JOMITOL Jr (28) is passionate about building the Kingdom of God. He believes that his call is to help young people to have an experience of encountering God and themselves. He is happily married to his high school sweetheart, Datina Vanessa Laban for almost 3 years. He has been actively serving the churches in Kota Kinabalu Archdiocese, Sabah since 2007 and was one of the founders of Sacred Heart Young Adults Prayer Group, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah in 2010. Currently, he is also a member of LiFE community of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Joannes has been actively teaching and preaching the Word of God since 2013 after a profound experience during a leadership retreat, and God has opened many doors for him to speak at various occasions, in and out of his parish, Sacred Heart Cathedral Kota Kinabalu. Saint Irenaeus’ quote “The glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God” has inspired Joannes in a very significant way and it empowered him to dream a God-sized dream in everything that he does. As a response to that, Joannes decided to leave his job as an executive at an international company to follow the call and dreams that God has placed in his heart. As a former pornography and masturbation addict for almost 16 years, Joannes is also passionate in helping young men to find freedom in Jesus Christ as he strongly believes that where “sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5:20).
