Practical missions infuse the very DNA of Mid-America, marking a passion ignited by our founder, Dr. B. Gray Allison, whose soul-winning exploits challenged generations. Fifty years later, Mid-America President Dr. Michael Spradlin and the faculty still carry the torch for personal evangelism. It’s one of the hallmarks of Mid-America that sets us apart.

In recognition of our founder, Dr. B. Gray Allison, we publish this special blog article, “Person-to-Person Evangelism,” an excerpt from Personal Evangelism, a book comprised of material from Dr. Gray’s Personal Evangelism course which he taught for almost 47 years. This timeless article was originally published in 1966.

Dr. David L. Allen describes the categories of books that should constitute a well stocked biblical preaching library.

Although the Lord would open the eyes of faith in Anthony Bonetti later in life, God did not give him physical sight at birth. Anthony’s sight impairment has not stopped him from living a life of service to the Lord.

Mid-America recently established a Pulpit Supply Program, and today, that effort has gained momentum on campus and throughout local churches across the Mid-South. Whether a church finds itself without a preacher due to a pastoral vacancy, an illness, or otherwise, Mid-America can now come alongside such churches with an organized effort to match available preachers with open pulpits.

Founders’ Days 2023 will be combined with the Adrian Rogers Preaching Conference, so expect some inspired preachers, including Dr. Michael Spradlin, Dr. David L. Allen, and Dr. Bartholomew Orr.
