As a young college student, Steve Hale accepted God’s call into vocational evangelism. Although his career path was pointed toward sports journalism, God had other plans when He led Steve to kneel in prayer with an open Bible and a surrendered heart. During that moment, the message in 2nd Timothy 4:1—5 quickened Steve’s spirit to “preach the Word…Do the work of an evangelist.” It was instantly obvious to Steve that God had arrested his attention and was applying those words to him personally.
For over twenty-five years, Steve Hale has been devoting himself to the pursuit of God’s high calling. While the evangelical landscape has changed over the years, Steve’s commitment and passion for God’s call is stronger than ever.
Having stood the test of time, Steve Hale’s ministry has been recognized as a standard bearer for integrity in evangelism. In the early ‘90’s he served as national president for Southern Baptist evangelists and on two occasions was one of a select few evangelists to meet with Billy Graham’s staff for eight hours. In 1992, he was invited by Dr. Johnny Hunt to base his ministry out of the 14,000 member First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia where he holds the title of Staff Evangelist. Through the years it has been Steve’s privilege to speak on numerous occasions at FBCW, but it was a special honor to recently conduct a major four-day evangelistic event in his home church.
We are happy to have Brother Steve in our church leading our revival, March 16th through March 19th. I want to encourage you to pray for him daily as he prepares to come and lead us in our revival.
Bro. Bob
