Jonthan Leonardo is currently sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ of on his Love Reality Tour. On experience in ministry, he says :

"There were a lot of years where I preached theology. Theology tricks with no life.

I had theology degrees and was comfortable in front of an audience, but was living with no assurance.

Then I heard the simple gospel of Jesus: the love of the Father.

It sounds crazy, but it was that simple. To realize that the Father loved me for me. That He sent Jesus to reveal that love and He gave me Spirit to become that love.It changed everything.I鈥檓 loved. So are you.

He says so."
