Testimonies

Through the ups and downs of living as a Marine military family, Andrew and Carrie found support and spiritual strength in their church family. Being members of multiple Praetorian Project churches as they moved from base to base, facing deployments and separation even as they were expecting a baby and evacuating from a hurricane; this family’s testimony shows the impact of the ministry of the Praetorian Project.

Hear the story of a young mother and her experience with finding community while balancing the stressors of military life and deployments of her husband. Brielle wants to thank all of the supporters of the Praetorian Project for being a part of making gospel communities wherever the military service may take her family next.

Meet Justin and Katie. Justin is an Active-duty Army Chief Warrant Officer and worship leader at Pillar Church of Killeen, and Katie serves on the AV team. After 14 years in the military, they’ve seen it all—including the struggle to find a church that is both biblically grounded and truly understands the hardships of military life.

As we pray for Christian veterans to hear and respond to the call to ministry work, we thank God for the many veterans we are blessed to call Pastors in the Praetorian Project.

Part of being in a church planting network for military communities means saying goodbye to people when they move to a new duty station. We long for those who may only be in a Pillar Church for 1-3 years to be equipped to live for Jesus and make disciples wherever they go.
