Pastor David Baker hired Filipino virtual assistants through John Jonas's program to handle podcast editing, social media, and course management. Baker says the program solved his hiring challenges and transformed his ministry work.
I love John Jonas and his program to help find Filipino VA's to work with. Hi, my name is David Baker. I'm a pastor with 11 children, eight grandchildren. I'm also the chaplain at our county jail. We also run a men's home to help men when they get out of jail, to restore and put their lives back together. I published six books. I have three more in the pipeline that we're working on, hoping to have published this year. I'm a vice president of an online Bible college. We have over 1500 students. We've helped 149 churches start their own Bible institute using our courses. I've got 10 of my courses there. I've got three other courses that are on a different platform that I use and be able to help. And guess what? I needed help. I could not do it all. I tried to hire people in the US but so much of what we did is nonprofit. It's ministry. And so there's not lots of extra income to pay the US prices. I love the Philippines. I've been there six or seven times. I love the Filipino people. I love their culture. I love their spirit, their attitude. I love their food. And when I tried to hire my own Filipino VA from context that I had over there, it didn't work very well. Couldn't figure out how to get them paid. We had different financial institutions. And then when I asked them to do something that they didn't know how to do, they disappeared. And I lost it. Couldn't find, didn't. Never heard from them again. Then I found John Jonas and found his program. Like, this is perfect. This is what I've been looking for. I knew I wanted to hire people from the Philippines, but I didn't know how do you find people with that skill set? Exactly for what I needed. So I went through his program, found out how to fix the disappearing Filipino, and boy, loved it. It went great. I posted my job, got all kinds of applicants, interviewed and hired, started a podcast. My first one started once a week. Then it was so easy to work with him. I went to five days a week. That was so easy. I went to a second podcast. So I have two different podcasts now that I run. All I do is turn it on, record it. He edits them, uploads them to all the different platforms on video and audio. What a blessing that he is. So now I have VA just for social media to do that. And I'm getting ready to hire another VA just to do my Kajabi platform with all my programs and courses. And things like that. I thank God for John Jonas, his program, the Filipino People. What he has put together is a great way to be able to find people. I love that if you have a business or ministry and you need help, people that are skilled, who know what they are doing, who are great to work with, who aren't going to charge you an arm and a leg, but reasonable prices to get help, please get John Jonas program. Sign up for that. You will find some great people who can help you and do great things for your life, for your business, for your ministry, whatever you are doing, God bless you.
