Jonathan Willing

As a teenager , I wrote a letter to John Willing , a television Meteorologist at KMOL-TV in San Antonio ( Now at KTVT-TV in Dallas ) asking for advice on how I could become a weatherman when I grew up.He set me up with the basic tools I needed to pursue a career in Broadcasting and Meteorology.I consider him a mentor in the development of my career.

In 1987 , I moved to Lubbock , Texas right in the heart of Tornado Alley!.I attended Texas Tech University studying Telecommunications.I furthered my education through Mississippi State University where I became a Meteorologist in the Summer of 1997.

In association with Horn Creek Conference Grounds, Mantle Ministries will be hosting a choice of two Little Bear Outdoor Adventure Camps in October of 2006 in the majestic Colorado Rockies. (Dates soon to be announced.) The "trailblazing" ministry team will be led by evangelist/historian Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler, assisted by Mantle Ministries director Steve Ringer; and broadcasting meteorologist John Willing for much more than the weather; and joined by gifted women's seminar speaker Cindy Cone and "home front" aficionado Susan Willing for the ladies' mother/daughter breakaway sessions; with a special guest music minister leading us in praise and worship.

Above and beyond the notable blessing of a successful media career, John recognizes a greater calling upon his life.Among his most accomplished pursuits at present, John would consider co-laboring with Susan in home schooling their children, serving his church community, and ministering to the body of Christ, a rewarding and wise investment of his God-given talents for eternity's sake.
...
Far beyond her accomplishments in the arena of athletics and medicine, Susan now delights in her role as supportive wife to John Willing and devoted homeschool mother to three precious children, Ruth (14), Grace (11), and Jonathan (9).John and Susan share a family vision of ministry through music, performing together at recitals and various functions, with the goal of bringing glory to God along with enjoyment to their audiences.

Ever since our ministry team discovered that one of John and Susan's goals in life is to perfect their bread making skills by learning from the masters in Europe, we have recruited this amazing husband and wife duo, and made them the official teachers of our family time bread making demonstrations.

I would like to extend my personal gratitude to Meteorologists John Willing and Bob Gambert, and to KMOL News4 San Antonio for all their time and support during this project.

It reminded me of what my friend John Willing told me whenhe "dropped out" of the TV business after being the chiefmeteorologist at a San Antonio station for 18 years.

Station management required John to do a newspaper columnsix times a week as part of his duties.They also expected
