John and his wife, Joyce, share a heart for ministry and currently serve as volunteer staff at Mosaic Church in Nacogdoches, Texas. Together, they lead staff development and adult ministries, which include teaching, preaching, and intercessory prayer. John also actively consults with two mission organizations and teaches in a school of ministry, further extending his influence in the global mission community. A longtime friend of NLAI, John previously served on the Board of Directors and rejoined in 2025. He and Joyce now reside in Lufkin, Texas, after spending most of their lives in the Houston area, where they continue to enjoy frequent visits with their children and grandchildren.
