About Jason

My name is Jason Chollar.  I was born in Florida in 1975 while my parents were at Florida Bible College.

Growing up it was obvious that I was a sinner that needed saving.  I am so thankful that Jesus came and died for me and then rose up from the grave and gave me the chance to rise again too.  Salvation is accessible to all … all you have to do is put your trust in Jesus, … so I did!

I was baptized at 7 and then at 9, the Lord called me and my family to bring the good news about Jesus to a foreign country: Belgium.  I spent all of my middle school and high school years there, then went off to college at Colorado Christian University in Denver.  After that, I lived in Stanwood, WA where I led worship in a local church for many years.

Starting in the summer of 2015, God began calling me to again be involved in International Missions, so in September of 2015 I stepped down from my full time worship leading position and am now on the journey to bring the Good News to the far reaches of the world again.

In December of 2021 Jason married Melissa, and their adventures of ministering around the world began.

Jason was officially named CEO of CrossWay International in January of 2023.

We can’t do this alone, though.  Will you join us?  How?

1. Pray.  Would you give us your contact information so we can send you reminders to pray and what to pray for?
2. Share.  Would you be willing to share the stories of how God is working with your friends and family and ask them to partner with us too?
3. Give.  Has the Lord called you to participate by having “some skin in the game”?  It’s amazing how much more we pay attention when we are personally invested.  Would you consider how the Lord might be calling you to participate through giving?
4. Go.  Perhaps the Lord is calling you to go on a trip with us, to use the gifts He has blessed you with, to bless some on the other side of the world?  If you feel like God might be calling you to go with us, let us know!
