John Hall

John Hall is the president of Novo Canada. Before that he served for eight years as the Executive Director at Mission Central (formerly Missions Fest Vancouver). In 1997 he, his wife, and brother-in-law started Eco Outdoor Sports in Metro Vancouver. In 2003 John and Wei stepped out of the business to prepare for full-time ministry. During that time the Lord impressed on John and his family the importance of hearing and obeying Jesus every day, something that he tries to integrate into everything he does. In 2010 God changed the family’s direction and led him to finish his degree at Regent College in preparation for life as a full-time missionary. Now, with Novo, that journey continues with Canada as the focus for his missionary energy.
John, and his wife Wei, live in Richmond, BC. They have two wonderful adult girls. John completed his MA at Regent College in 2010.
