NolaTex79 has a unique journey—from the corporate engineering world to church leadership, and now to the Great Commission work of making disciples who multiply across generations. At the heart of it all is a steady calling: servant leadership, a passion for shepherding, and a deep dependence on Jesus.
After ten years in engineering and two decades as a pastor, Nola now serves with BeMultiplied, focusing on equipping church leaders in restricted and limited-access regions across Asia, Africa, and beyond. His joy is found in team, transformation, and truth—walking alongside leaders as they grow in their ability to faithfully handle the Word of God and train others.
Through this work, Nola is helping develop leaders who will multiply their training—strengthening churches and building movements marked by local leadership, local multiplication, and local sustainability. His heart is to see indigenous ministries take root and thrive for generations.
Nola is grateful to serve alongside his wife of over four decades—his faithful ministry partner—and to see the impact of this work extend to children, grandchildren, and future generations.

The need is significant. Across the world, many pastors faithfully lead without access to biblical training, often navigating ministry with limited resources and support.
We believe the answer is not simply more teaching, but multiplication… equipping leaders in such a way that they can train others. When this happens, the impact extends beyond individuals to families, churches, and entire ministry networks, fostering biblical depth, mature faith, and healthy churches.
Through BeMultiplied, John helps shape the vision and direction of the ministry while also engaging in field work, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. His role in People & Culture reflects a deep passion for building relationships… investing in leaders, listening to their stories, and inviting others into the mission.
Our hope is to see the global church increasingly address the reality that many leaders lack access to biblical training… and to see locally led, multiplying movements take root. We long to see leaders equipped, churches strengthened, and the gospel carried forward with clarity and faithfulness for generations to come.
