Chad Panton — Marketplace Ministry Leader

14+Years as CEO

The Story

Built from Scratch.
Sold to the Top.

Chad Panton didn't inherit a playbook. He wrote one. Starting in 2007, he built JavaWorks — a market-leading office coffee, water filtration, and micro-market services company serving Tampa Bay and Orlando for over 14 years.

In December 2021, Chad sold JavaWorks to a Fortune 50 company for $3.8 million — a landmark exit that validated everything he built and everything he believed. But more than the number, it was what came next that defines who Chad Panton truly is.

He heard a different call. After the sale, God opened a door for Chad to travel to Costa Rica — to be still, to listen. He founded a corporation named In La Keshe — a Mayan phrase meaning "Oneness with God" — and returned not as a man who had arrived, but as a man who had just begun.

Today, Chad operates at the intersection of faith, business, and purpose — stewarding a portfolio of ventures, investments, and real estate across the US and internationally, always asking: Does this glorify God?

I do not want to be involved in businesses that just chase profit — but rather purpose. They need to be mission-focused and spirit-led, where all partners are equally yoked.

The Philosophy

The Boardroom
and the Altar Are
the Same Room.

Chad Panton is not simply a businessman who goes to church. He is a Marketplace Ministry Leader — convinced that kingdom purpose is expressed most powerfully through commerce.

🤝

Equally Yoked Partnerships

Every partner, every deal — faith alignment is non-negotiable. Chad will walk away from money before compromising on this.

🎯

Mission Before Margin

Profit is a tool. Impact is the measure. Every venture must answer the "why" before the "what."

🏛

Build for Exit. Build for Legacy.

Shape every organization with the end in mind — not just a financial exit, but a lasting kingdom contribution.

✝

Stewardship, Not Ownership

"God didn't give me these things to own. He gave them to me to steward." Every decision flows from this truth.

Active Ventures

A Portfolio Built
on Purpose & Precision.

From a landmark exit to active development across real estate, health, media, and technology — Chad is building a kingdom-aligned portfolio that creates real-world impact at every level.

JavaWorks

The founding story. From a blank page in 2007 to a Fortune 50 acquisition in December 2021. JavaWorks became the market leader in office coffee, water filtration, and micro-market services across Tampa Bay and Orlando. Chad built it, led it for 14+ years, and sold it on his own terms for $3.8 million. That exit wisdom now powers his role as M&A advisor for the next generation of founders.

In Memory

Pam Panton

An Angel,
Literally on Earth.

In June 2020, Chad's mother Pam took her own life. She was deeply loved, widely revered — a woman whose warmth left a permanent mark on everyone she ever met. Chad knows she raised her hand for Jesus. He knows she is resting with the Lord.

But her passing left a wound that has not been — and will not be — wasted. Chad has chosen to honor Pam's legacy not through silence or grief alone, but through action.

"We are all walking through seasons of uncomfortableness. The more we bring those burdens forward into the Father — the more we are reminded they are not ours to carry."

🕊 A Nonprofit Is Coming

Built on Pam's legacy, Chad's healing journey, and the science of functional medicine — a 501(c)(3) offering a spirit-led, whole-body path to freedom. Not Xanax. Not Zoloft. Truth.

The Health Journey

The Body Keeps
the Score.

This story doesn't get told enough. Chad Panton — high-performing entrepreneur, serial investor, man of faith — moved into a home that passed inspection. What the inspection missed was quietly devastating: severe mold contamination hidden in an undisclosed area.

Over time, the toxins built. His cognition clouded. His energy collapsed. His emotional state shifted in ways that didn't make sense. And Western medicine handed him a prescription. He refused it.

What followed was years of testing, seeking, and learning — eventually uncovering a cascade including Lyme disease, heavy metal toxicity, parasites, Epstein-Barr, all compounded by a leaky gut blocking every supplement from being absorbed.

Now, Chad is healing — armed with a sequenced protocol, renewed faith, and the conviction that God is using this story for something greater.

Dr. Daniel Amen · NYT Bestselling Author · 300,000+ Brain Scans · 11 Clinics "Over 90% of bipolar, depression, and anxiety is not psychiatric — it is the body being toxic. Detoxify the body, and the emotional state heals."
