At the beginning of this new century, international evangelist and author Sammy Tippit is emerging as a leading voice among the nations of the world. He is currently preaching some of the largest evangelistic meetings in the world. He has proclaimed God's message of peace in stadiums in war-torn Burundi, met with government and religious leaders shortly after the attempted genocide in Rwanda, and brought hope to persecuted believers in the former Soviet-bloc nations.
It was one of the most exciting moments of my young life. I was only sixteen
years old at the time. I had been selected as one of thirty students in my state
to study at the United Nations in New York City. Students from throughout North
America would gather there for conferences and consultations about world peace.
It was a once in a life opportunity to meet with other key young leaders from
the U.S. and Canada and be immersed into international politics.

Sammy Tippit made the mistake of dating a deacon's daughter.
One Sunday night in 1965, just after Tippit had graduated from
high school, his girlfriend's father wouldn't let them go out
unless they went to church first. Sammy did, despite the laughter
and derision of his partying friends. There Sammy heard the gospel
and received Christ. Immediately he felt that God was calling him
to preach.
Sammy Tippit Ministries exists to glorify God by evangelizing the world for Christ.
