About My Family
My family and I are honored that you desire to partner with us in reaching the military community in Twentynine Palms with the hope of the gospel. My wife, Joi, and I have been married since 2017, and we have two beautiful children. Talitha is 3, and Benaiah is 1.
God has given Joi and me hearts burdened to reach military and community members in the dry and difficult land of Twentynine Palms. I have served on Active Duty and in the Marine Corps Reserve in the past 10 years, spending 3.5 years stationed in Twentynine Palms. Our time in the desert gave us firsthand experience of the need and opportunity for the gospel that the challenges of living in Twentynine Palms creates. Because of this, we returned to Twentynine Palms in July 2025 to care for and equip service members and their families with the gospel through the local church.

About My Church Plant
I am serving as the staff elder at Pillar Church of Twentynine Palms (Palms 29), and, along with the other elders, am seeking to lead Palms 29 to be a multiplying church made of multiplying disciples with the goal of reaching military and community members in Twentynine Palms and beyond. Pillar 29 is a member of the Praetorian Project, a family of multiplying churches in military communities worldwide. We are committed to fulfilling our mission of knowing Jesus and making Him known by planting churches in military communities and conducting line term discipleship of military service members. Pillar 29 desires to be centered on Scripture, focused on multiplication, and fueled by community as we carry out our work.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
