Joshua & Brittany Brown:
Gospel Deployment
Sneads Ferry, North Carolina
Joshua Brown’s congregation is probably not like your congregation. “We have snipers, we have amphibious assault, and we have intel,” Joshua says. “This isn’t just a military community. This is a special operations community. And that’s a whole other dynamic.”
“If we infuse the gospel into people here, they’ll take it with them to places many of us will never go.”
Joshua Brown
Joshua and Brittany Brown started Pillar Church of Topsail just outside Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, one of the most fertile settings in North America for evangelism and church planting.
“These people in special operations face death-defying situations all the time,” Joshua says. “So having conversations about where they’re going to spend eternity is a very natural thing for us.” Now, Joshua is not only having gospel conversations and baptizing new believers, but, as the military deploys and reassigns people in their congregation, his new church is sending out disciples who can share Christ in places many civilians will never go. ”These people are highly motivated,” he says. “We inject the gospel into them, and when the military sends them out, they’re primed and ready to spread that gospel all around the world.”
Prayer Requests
- A team being sent out to plant Pillar Church of Fayetteville, near Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg).
- God to call more church planters who can reach other underserved military communities.
- God to raise up new leaders at Pillar Church of Topsail as current leaders are deployed or reassigned.
