Josiah Centeno

Josiah and his family have rooted themselves in Camden and Philadelphia. In a time of escalating violence, addiction, and brokenness, their call to service resonates more than ever. Josiah believes that every believer is a disciple and an evangelist, and with this belief, he has successfully extended the reach of the gospel beyond the church walls.

An integral part of Josiah's mission is the Spiritual P.H.D Course, a discipleship program designed to create biblically literate and spiritually intelligent disciples of Jesus Christ, who will model His character and demonstrate His power. The course provides a mix of live teaching sessions, downloadable study materials, personal coaching sessions, group meetings with seasoned ministers, and access to a private Facebook group. The Spiritual P.H.D Course is more than just a learning program – it's an opportunity to commit to personal spiritual growth and to be part of a community driven to effect positive change.

Josiah invites you to join him in this mission. By partnering with him, you'll support not only the continuous development of the Spiritual P.H.D Course but also his broader commitment to transforming lives in Camden and Philadelphia. Your support will help cultivate a thriving spiritual community, bringing the light of the Gospel to places it's needed the most.

Josiah has served on the InFaith field staff since September 2017.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Josiah was once a pastor's son surrounded by darkness, depression, and death. But an encounter with Jesus in 2007 transformed his life, and he's been a full-time minister of the gospel ever since. Today, as a local and international missionary, Josiah continues his journey, passionate about serving the city where he grew up and seeing Jesus transform people in it.
