He met his wife, Sharon, while they were students at Bob Jones University. The Lord called John into full-time ministry while he was counseling at The Wilds Christian Camp in North Carolina. After graduating from BJU in 1996 he served alongside his dad as a layman and completed his ordination to the ministry of the gospel. He was called to serve as assistant pastor at Hanover Baptist Church in Glen Allen, VA, and then at Woodcrest Baptist Church in Fridley, MN. The Lord also allowed the Weigles the opportunity to travel in full-time evangelism with the Ron DeGarde family for three years before bringing them to FBC.
