For military families stationed in Okinawa, Japan, Pillar Church of Okinawa has been a vital lifeline for a decade. Join Trace Martinez as he interviews the leaders on the ground about the power of discipleship, the pain of saying goodbye, and the excitement of a new season of leadership under Pastor Darren Pautz.
A new Pillar Church is coming soon to Northwest Washington state, within the military community surrounding Joint Base Lewis-McChord! Hear the latest update from Pastor Daniel Carter and his wife, Rachelle, as they prepare to move to the area this summer and form a core team.
When you meet a church planter’s wife, you meet a woman who has faced trials, setbacks, and discouragements with grace, kindness, and a quiet trust in the Lord’s plan. In the Praetorian Project, we want to honor these women who pour out so much and give of themselves in ways that the world often overlooks. These women and their husbands are planting churches in military communities all across the globe, caring for military families, and shouldering their burdens alongside them.
What’s coming in 2026 for the Praetorian Project? In this update, Brian O’Day shares upcoming church anniversaries, a new church plant planned for Northwest Washington, pastoral gatherings, and continued training in expository preaching—all aimed at advancing the gospel among military communities worldwide. Please pray with us as we look to the year ahead.
God is on the move in the Pacific Northwest! Pastor Daniel Carter from Pillar Church of San Diego shares exciting news about the upcoming launch of a new Pillar Church in Northwest Washington, near Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Daniel and his family have been led and called by the Lord to initiate this work and form a core team to make it happen! This new church will reach one of the least-churched regions in the country with the hope of the gospel — especially among the military community.
