Leadership

Organization

Co-Directors

Chaloerm and Jon believe that a partnership organization should have a leadership that reflects the relationships it seeks to create and care for. Therefore they direct Partners in Vision together, believing that their relationship and co-directorship will have a positive influence on the partnerships they desire to foster.

Chaloerm Saenwinchai

Chaloerm was born in northern Thailand in a small village along the Mekhong river called Huay Khoi. As a young boy he watched his dad Tia evangelize as the first Khmu believer in Thailand. In adulthood Chaloerm has followed the path of his father, evangelizing and planting churches across northern Thailand.

Chaloerm's unique posture in leadership, ministry, and missiology has catalyzed a movement of empowerment, boldness and passion in serving God that is refreshing and uncommon. He is often found in a van filled with others heading off to evangelize and coach/encourage emerging leaders. Chaloerm sees God's intentionality in leading him through life to prepare him for each new role and ministry God entrusts to him.

Chaloerm loves hunting, motorbiking, and spending time with his family.

Jon Esau

Jon grew up in northern BC, his parents served at a bible camp and consequently Jon grew up hearing and seeing ministry in action. After graduating from bible school, thinking pastoral ministry was his trajectory, he ended up working at a tree farm with international workers. It was here that he realized his intercultural giftings.

Years later, after serving missionally in Thailand for many years, Jon felt compelled to grow by completing a Masters of Entrepreneurial Ministry Leadership with a focus on Multicultural Teams in Mission. God has curated his path to build and prepare him for the way He chooses to use Jon.

Jon loves basketball, carpentry, and travelling with his wife and family.
