Roy and Shirley Jones were called in 1995 to full-time service with YWAM and took their initial training in the USA and in Romania. Prior to that time they were involved in Farnham Baptist Church, primarily with the Junior Church and young people.

The family moved to the Lausanne area of French-speaking Switzerland at the end of 1996. It became their base but they have developed links with different parts of Europe & French-speaking West Africa through different YWAM projects. Roy also served as an assistant to YWAM Founder, Loren Cunningham for five years.

In 2005 they were commissioned as European co-ordinators for YWAM Associates International (www.ywamassociates.eu) and in this role they organise annual inTouch camps in different parts of the continent. Roy and Shirley have been involved in YWAM Family Ministries for several years and Shirley sits on the International Family Resource Centre of YWAM. She has a ministry with local women. In addition, she has been developing the YWAM "Listening Prayer" programme. Roy spends most of his time on administration for YWAM.

The Joneses have two teenage daughters. The whole family have worked on additional outreaches together during their 15 years in YWAM whilst their eldest daughter has also taken part in several Missions trips to China, Togo, Kenya etc.

The Joneses live close to the French border and have two teenage daughters.
