Meet Pastor Joe

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…”
(Revelation 12:11).
Pastor Joe’s story is not about personal achievement, but about the redeeming power of Jesus Christ. Every chapter of his life and ministry stands as a testimony to God’s grace, faithfulness, and sovereignty. His heart is that any recognition, platform, or opportunity would point clearly and solely to the glory of God.
Since 2023, Pastor Joe has served as Lead Pastor of Destination Church, where he continues more than a decade of pastoral ministry marked by strong biblical teaching and a deep commitment to sound doctrine. His leadership reflects a passion for discipleship, strengthening Christian families, and equipping believers to live boldly for Christ in today’s culture. He and his wife Sarah share a calling to build up the local church and see lives transformed by the Gospel. Together with their three children, they are devoted to walking alongside families and helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus.
In recent years, the Lord has opened significant doors for Pastor Joe beyond the local church. He was part of a historic delegation of 1,000 U.S. Christian pastors and influencers partnering with the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem—the largest group of American Christian leaders to visit Israel since its founding. He also partners stateside with We Stand Together, advocating for Israel and strengthening Christian support rooted in biblical conviction. Pastor Joe was selected to share his personal testimony with De La Fe, further expanding the reach of what God has done in his life. An upcoming podcast will continue that mission, creating space to share biblical truth, personal testimony, and conversations that encourage believers to stand firm in their faith.
Alongside Pastor Joe, Sarah leads and founded Hey Beautiful Ministries, a women’s ministry dedicated to reminding women of their identity and worth in Christ. Her ministry focuses on encouragement, discipleship, and cultivating confidence rooted in biblical truth. Together, Joe and Sarah carry a unified vision: to see individuals and families anchored in Scripture, strengthened in faith, and empowered to live out their calling for the glory of God alone.

About The Book
He Is Not Done with Me Yet is the gripping true story of Joseph Hufstetler—a man who once lived for money, power, and the thrill of dangerous deals, only to find himself facing betrayal and prison at the hands of those he once trusted. From drug smuggling and run-ins with the DEA, to nights of fear wondering if he’d ever see his family again, Joseph’s journey seemed destined for destruction.
But God had other plans.
Through the prayers of a faithful grandmother, moments of divine intervention, and a life-changing encounter with Jesus, Joseph discovered redemption in the very place he thought his life had ended. This is not just a story about crime and consequences—it’s a story about hope, forgiveness, and the relentless love of God that never gives up.
“I know all this may seem crazy, but my story is a story of God’s protection, God’s redemption, and mostly, God’s grace and forgiveness. You will see that what seemed like an end was only the beginning—the beginning of a life I never saw coming.”
