John Braam and Family
I‘ve grown up in the Mankato area my entire life. I grew up going to the majority of the districts events, however there was a period of my life where I wasn’t where God wanted me to be. Thankfully it was a Thursday night at a Senior Camp, when God called me to preach. From that moment on, I‘ve been following after God’s will. Not perfectly, but pursuing Him daily!
I went to Indiana Bible College for 1 year, and came back to the greatest state ever to begin ministry. I was the Youth Pastor at the Mankato United Pentecostal Church for 5 blessed years, and have had a burden for teenagers since I was a teenager myself. I am now serving in the same church I grew up in, as an assistant to the Pastor.
I have a lovely wife, Crystal, who is the love of my life! We met at our local church, when I got back from Indiana Bible College. She loves doing ministry, raising our children, and of course drinking coffee. We have 4 kids, 3 Girls (Olivia, Ariana, & Adilyn) & 1 Boy (Noah). We are thrilled to be a part of the MN Youth Department, and look forward to being a part of what God has for the greatest students in the world!
