Discipleship

Jonathan and Corinne Long were both raised in strong Christian families and knew from an early age that God had a special plan for their lives. Part of that plan has led them to missionary service with OMS International and a call to ministry in Hungary.

While growing up as the son of OMS missionaries, Jonathan experienced first hand the impact on the lives of others while serving God and living in a foreign country. Although much of his teenage years were spent in the US, he developed a strong desire to return to the mission field, especially to Hungary. Jonathan received a bachelor’s degree in business management from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2005.

Corinne grew up in Indiana where she and her family were actively involved with their local church. She experienced “missions in her backyard” through hosting international students during her high school years. It was not until after her marriage with Jonathan that she felt God’s call to serve overseas.

It wasn’t long after Jonathan and Corinne were married that they first felt God directing them toward ministry. Though active in young adult ministry, Sunday school and small group leadership in their church, they still felt God was asking them to do more. During a weekend mission conference at their local church, they felt God confirm their call to missionary service.

Jonathan and Corinne are very excited about the opportunity to serve in Budapest where they will minister to young adults through discipleship and small group ministry. They have a passion to share with others the impact God has made on their own lives through building relationships and various outreach opportunities. They both will be studying the difficult Hungarian language. Corinne will also minister to the field as treasurer. They have one son, Carter who was born in 2005.
