My Story
My name is Jim "PK" Pilkauskas. I spent 30 years on active duty in the US Army as both an enlisted Infantryman and as a commissioned officer. I served in the 82nd Airborne Division, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and the US Army Special Operations Command, and various other units. I retired from active duty in July of 2021 and became a defense contractor supporting USSOCOM.
​
Three years ago, God gave me a new mission: The Remnant Young Men's Group. Given the impact that young men have on those they interact with, and the even greater impact they will have as adults, a ministry specifically focused on this demographic must be deliberate and strategic in its efforts, especially Leader Development.
​
I strive every day to be the best husband, father, protector, provider, and servant leader I can be. Though I can do nothing on my own, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me."
​
Incepto ne desistam! May we not shrink from our purpose.
Leader Development Programs
My intent is to expand our ministry to reach more young men; the fatherless, the troubled, sons of fallen warriors and emergency first responders, those that have fallen through the cracks of society. Once I have the resources to accomplish this, we will offer weekend camping trips, week-long outdoor education experiences, muti-day hikes, and other opportunities for young men to answer the question “Do I have what it takes?
"We need to climb mountains with those we're leading in order to help them gain a renewed sense of the larger landscape of God's purpose.
​
"Learning from the wilderness metaphor teaches us something, but journeying into the wilderness makes us something." (Dr. Ashley Denton, Christian Outdoor Leadership)
