Josh LeadingFox is a member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma and a descendant of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe. He spent most of his early life in his hometown of Pawnee. He grew up attending Pawnee Indian Baptist Church under the leadership of Duane Pratt and sons, Bruce and Jr. Pratt.
During Indian Falls Creek 1996, Josh accepted Christ as his savior and remained active in his home church until his graduation from Pawnee High School in 2002. He was an Oklahoma state champion wrestler and was blessed to receive a wrestling scholarship to the University of Central Oklahoma. While competing at UCO, he was a two-time All-American and member of two National Championship wrestling teams. He graduated from UCO in 2007.
In 2005, while in college, he surrendered his life to the call of preaching ministry at Indian Falls Creek. He served as Associate Pastor at First Indian Baptist Church of Edmond, Oklahoma, from 2008 to 2011. God then called him to First Seminole Baptist Church in Immokalee, Florida, in July of 2011, where he has served as pastor since.
Josh married his wife Lyndsey (Creek/Seminole/Cherokee), an OBU graduate, in 2007, and they have five beautiful children, daughters: Layla, Ava, Mila, and Jemma, and son Joshua Jr.
Pray for Josh and his family as he prepares to be with us this summer.
