Joe was born and raised in Church and went to only one little small town Church in Mansfield Missouri all his life. He was born again at age 7 and filled with the Holy Spirit at age 9 in the little camp chapel at kids camp, on top of a big bluff overlooking the Lake of the Ozarks. Joe heard the call to ministry at the age of 16 and began to preach. He meet his beautiful wife LuWella at Bible college. They have been married over 35 years and have four wonderful children. Kimberly, Joey, Joshua and Lydia. Joe pastored several churches over 15 years. He woke up one Sunday morning and the Holy Spirit said to go to FNT church. He had to google it to find it. Now he is convinced and will let you know in no uncertain terms this is the best church in the world!
