The fundraiser has generated more than $60,000. 

A tribute on Joel’s company website confirmed he died from ‘natural causes’ and read: ‘Joel was more than our leader – he was a loving husband & father, a visionary, a mentor, a friend, and a faithful follower of Jesus. 

‘Joel inspired everybody who worked in mosaiXmultiply with his vision and ability to motivate. With his ability to bring leaders in various countries into the mXm community and mobilize them with a vision for movement. 

‘He created a solid foundation for mXm’s purpose of globally training and mobilizing common people to plant gospel communities where they live that are missional, multicultural and multiplying. His unwavering dedication to the mission and his deep love for people have left a lasting mark on all of us.

‘We take comfort in knowing that Joel is now with our Savior praising Him with brothers and sisters from every culture. 

‘Please keep his family, friends, and the entire mosaiXmultiply community in your prayers as we navigate this season of sorrow and remembrance.’

Per his company bio, Joel and his wife Jenni joined a startup team for a ‘Christ-centered community’ in Frankfurt, Germany.

Joel also served as a pastoral advisor in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
