Kanakuk Ministries is a holder of numerous ministries, most notably Kanakuk Kamps,[1] a large Christian sports camp based in Missouri that has been operating since 1926. Joe graduated from Southern Methodist University, and was an assistant coach at Texas A&M University before taking the reins of Kanakuk. Additionally, Joe has started several ministries including Kids Across America, a sports camp for underprivileged kids, Kanakuk Haiti, Men At The Cross, Pure Excitement, and After Dark.

His cross builder presentation has garnered national attention and is frequently requested at public events, college campuses, and churches across the United States. He currently resides in Branson, Missouri, with his wife, Debbie Jo.

Joe and his camp, Kanakuk, have been sued by at least two former campers claiming that he and the camp knew that former employee Pete Newman was abusing children on camp grounds.[2][3]
