đź“Ł Meet the Board đź“Ł
John and his wife, Robin, live in Alapaha, where they have raised four sons on their seventh-generation family farm.
In addition to his work with Holy Land Farms, John serves as Missions Pastor and leads the men’s ministry at The Bridge Church in Nashville.
John still remembers the first time he visited Holy Land Farms. As he walked the property, he was reminded of a vision God had placed on his heart years before — a place where men could step away from the worries and hurried pace of life, spend time in God’s creation, and reconnect with Him.
“The minute I stepped foot on that property, I knew — this is that place.”
From that moment on, John began serving wherever he was needed, and in 2024 he joined the Holy Land Farms Board of Directors.
Not long after, an especially meaningful moment took place. John’s daughter-in-law, Hannah, asked him to baptize her at Holy Land Farms — the very first baptism to take place on the property. Afterward, John asked his father to pray, and he remembers him saying, “May this baptism be the first of thousands at this place.”
John lost his father last year, making that memory even more meaningful.
“I’ll never forget that special day.”
When John isn’t working, serving at church, or helping at Holy Land Farms, you’ll likely find him spending time with his grandbabies, Thomas and Eliza Jane.
We are grateful for John’s heart for ministry, his willingness to serve, and the role he continues to play in the story God is writing at Holy Land Farms.💚
