Finding Family

The Cadence and Shiloh ministries have been an incredible blessing, providing much-needed community during a season of deep transition and loneliness.

I arrived in Washington in September 2020 for an active-duty military assignment, right in the middle of the COVID pandemic. Spiritually, it was a difficult time. I felt isolated and adrift. But God, in His kindness, led me to Jennessa Randall, who then introduced me to RJ and Sabrina Prestwich and their military ministry. From that point on, everything began to change.

Being surrounded again by people who love Jesus and live for Him brought renewal to my walk with Christ. Over the past four years, I’ve experienced steady spiritual growth—deeper devotion to God’s Word, a stronger prayer life, and a heart increasingly committed to serving others. The mentorship and example of the ministry leaders have inspired me to love Jesus more fully and follow Him with greater purpose.

Through weekly Bible studies, retreat weekends, and doing life alongside fellow believers, I’ve not only gained a clearer understanding of God’s Word but also learned how to live each day surrendered to Christ. This ministry has brought incredible joy and comfort. It’s where I met my husband, built lifelong friendships, and witnessed fellow military members come to know Jesus.

I consider the Cadence/Shiloh community my family. I am truly grateful to God for leading me to them and for all He continues to do through this ministry.
