Evangelist

Dr. David Wyrtzen will be our evangelist for Family Camp 2012.

The son of a well-known evangelist Jack Wyrtzen, Dave says his life passion is to be used by the Holy Spirit to move others toward intimacy with the biblical Christ. To accomplish this, he proclaims the gospel and teaches the Word of God as an author, radio broadcaster, and an international speaker.
 
Even with all this worldwide outreach, however, he considers his main ministry to be his church in a small town outside of Dallas.
 
“My most practical training has been the opportunity to minister and to live in Midlothian from the founding of the church to the present.”
 
Dave was raised in the New York City area. His father, Jack Wyrtzen, was one of the pioneers in Christian radio and TV. Dave accepted Christ at the age of five, went to a Christian High School in Florida, and then received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and biology from Houghton College in 1971, expecting to go into medicine. God had different plans.

Dave attend Dallas Seminary in 1971 and received his master’s degree in New Testament in 1975 and a doctorate in Old Testament in 1980.
 
His radio program, “Truth Encounter,” challenges its audience to intimacy with the biblical Jesus by presenting the reality of God’s Word through in-depth, easy-to-understand studies.
 
Dave has written three books: Raising Worldly Wise But Innocent Kids, Unexpected Grace and Love Without Shame.
 
He also teaches courses to Dallas Seminary’s Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) students, recently traveling to Guatemala to teach in the new Spanish D.Min. program.
