Dave Eatman

Dave and Laurie joined our staff in 2014. They have served in our ministry at every level, including volunteer Ministry Team Members on the Parris Island Gateway team, Ministry Team Leaders for the Parris Island Gateway Ministry, Local Directors for the Beaufort/Savannah area, Southeast Area of Operations Director, and now National Directors. Dave served a 4-year enlistment in the United States Marine Corps and 17 years in Corporate America before joining staff and currently serves as a Chaplain Candidate (LTJG) in the Navy Reserve. Before joining staff, Laurie spent 22 years as a hairstylist and proprietor of her own salon. In their early adult years, Dave and Laurie both personally experienced the negative impact military life can have on the home. As a result, they have a passion for seeing service members and their families come to know Christ and have their military service and family life transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As National Directors, Dave and Laurie are responsible for leading a team of staff and volunteer missionaries in the U.S. with the mission of building movements of multiplying disciples to the global military community.
