Serving since 2015
Eleven years ago, the Lord placed a call on my heart to serve Him in full-time mission work. I felt burdened for the next generation of young people—confused, lost, and searching for purpose—and I knew I had to make a difference through one-on-one discipleship. So, I left my teaching career and, alongside my brother, founded a discipleship organization called Pathway Discipleship.
Our mission at Pathway Discipleship was to reach into our communities and share the love of Jesus with a generation of young adults who were hurting, seeking answers, and longing for direction in life. What made our approach unique was the deep investment we made in those we led to the Lord. After leading them to Christ, we walked alongside them through life's struggles, coaching them through challenges and equipping them with biblical knowledge to strengthen their walk with God. The final piece of the puzzle was to train these disciples to go out and make their own disciples, multiplying themselves to expand the kingdom of God.
The early years of building the ministry were a true test of faith for me, my wife and our four children. But God blessed our humble efforts to raise support, and even when Joy was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36, we saw the Lord provide for us and carry us through that trial, making us stronger and more equipped to serve.
In 2018, God led us to Florida to partner with a church in reaching out to the poorest working class in America. We spent two years working with Tri County Baptist Church, dedicating ourselves to a ministry aimed at reaching children and their parents. Those years were filled with both challenges and blessings. Our four children struggled with the move and adjusting to a new school, while I wrestled with letting go of my own ministry expectations and trusting God with the results. Through it all, God showed up in powerful ways, teaching us to rely on Him and bringing us closer together as a family.
Our two-year commitment in Florida ended just as the COVID-19 pandemic began. Amidst the nationwide shutdown, we sold our house in Florida and set out on the road for two months to finish our fundraising. Through God’s grace and provision, we returned to Pennsylvania in September of 2020 fully funded and ready to begin our ministry here in Lancaster County.
Since then, our disciple-making mission in Pennsylvania has grown rapidly and powerfully. We have witnessed God’s hand at work in remarkable ways, using our ministry to bring lasting transformation to many lives through the gospel of Jesus Christ. I currently lead three men’s groups that focus on overcoming pornography addiction and finding freedom in Christ. In addition, I facilitate multiple Bible studies, provide training through The Timothy Initiative for pastors and ministry leaders in evangelism and discipleship, and meet regularly with individuals for one-on-one mentoring and life coaching. God has truly been faithful on this journey, and I am both humbled and excited by the work He continues to do through us as we look toward the future!
Our Values
Reach
We are committed to reaching every young person we encounter with the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to share the hope of salvation and the freedom He offers from the bondage of sin—so they can live a holy, purposeful life for the glory of God.
Invest
Once someone encounters Christ, we intentionally invest our time and energy to help them grow as disciples. We equip new believers to break free from destructive patterns, study and apply God’s Word, share their faith with confidence, and disciple others in their journey with Jesus.
Multiply
Our ultimate goal is to multiply disciples who will impact their communities and beyond. We send out equipped disciples to reach their circles of influence, invest in others, and continue the cycle of multiplication—so that the Gospel spreads and lives are transformed.
Why Pathway Discipleship Is Unique
At Pathway Discipleship, we do more than make disciples—we equip them to become leaders and church planters right where they live, work, and gather.
Our focus is on training everyday believers to start micro-churches—simple, reproducible communities of faith that meet in homes, coffee shops, gyms, and living rooms. These aren’t just Bible studies; they’re spiritual families reaching people who might never step foot inside a traditional church.
It’s grassroots.
It’s personal.
And it’s multiplying—one disciple, one household, one community at a time.
We believe each person can thrive and grow into who they were meant to be—as they resolve their past, live fully in the present, and walk confidently into the future God created for them.
From Lost to Leader:
Our Discipleship Pathway
This is how movements start—from one transformed life to many.
1. ENCOUNTERING THE GOSPEL
We start by helping individuals truly understand the gospel and commit their lives to Jesus.
2. HEALING AND RESTORATION
We address deeper wounds—past trauma, addiction, or sin—through biblical counseling, support groups, and spiritual coaching.
3. EQUIPPING FOR MISSION
Once they’re rooted, we train them to share their story and the gospel clearly, confidently, and compassionately.
4. LAUNCHING DISCOVERY BIBLE STUDIES
They begin leading DBS groups in everyday places—homes, offices, gyms—welcoming seekers to explore the Bible together.
5. PLANTING MICRO-CHURCHES
As people come to faith, new spiritual communities are formed. These micro-churches grow through worship, shared life, and multiplying disciple-makers.
