My name is Johannes “Jaako” Koponen. I was born in Finland, but have been living in Dominican Republic for many years. Along with my wife and daughter, I attend the International Baptist Church in Santo Domingo.

We also have a bi-weekly(ish) English language Bible study at our home. Most of the content on this website has been adapted from the material I have prepared for either the Bible Studies or for my Finnish language sermon website www.maallikkosaarnaaja.com, which after my family, is my primary ministry.
