Joe was born in Trenton, Michigan on March 14, 1977 along side his twin brother (sidekick) Matt. His Mom and Dad prayed and heeded the call from God to move to California when he was two years old, which is where Joe resides with his own family today. Joe remembers watching his Mom and Dad reading their Bibles every night, and ministering through music and evangelism. As a result Joe knew at the early age of five years old that he would follow suit; ministering and traveling to wherever the Lord would lead him to preach the gospel. Joe’s public ministry began at the ripe age of fifteen when he auditioned and secured a bass guitar position in a band by the name of “Wickeds End”. Joe went on to play with other such bands as the Glenn Rowlands Band, Fish Tribe, and eventually joined “Redline” which signed to Freedom Records in Nashville, Tn. shortly thereafter. Joe was given the opportunity to meet and sit under some of his favorite musicians including Carman, and some of the members of Petra; learning that there is no room for compromise when ministering the Gospel of Christ. Joe attended Victory Leadership Institute in Nashville, TN. where he found a deeper desire to minister to those who sit in the gutters, as well as the pews. Joe continued to Play the Bass guitar in Redline, but soon enough heard the Lord calling him away to a ministry of another color. Joe moved back to California at the age of twenty one to fulfill a youth Pastor position, and soon met his beautiful Bride Tina. Joe continued to play his bass guitar leading worship along side his brother Matt in a band by the name of “Pullstring” and later began leading worship with his wife Tina at a local church. But still Joe found his desire continuing to grow to minister the Word of God.

At the age of twenty four Joe was given the opportunity to step into full time ministry. Joe accepted a position at a local Hospice in Riverside, Ca which is where he is today. Joe states “There was some opposition when I first stepping into the Hospice Pastoral position because of my age, but as soon as I began to minister to the patients, and families I was always asked to return, the Lord had grace on this young guy”. Joe continues to minister with Hospice today at the age of thirty, and believes that the Lord still has great plans for his life to spread the word of God throughout the world.Joe publishes weekly audio and daily written devotionals on his own website www.joeprainito.com.
