Voices of Experience
“When I prayed about inviting an evangelist to preach at Gardendale First Baptist Church, Steve was the first name that came to my mind. He has a unique way of engaging the congregation with anointed, Spirit-filled preaching of God’s Word! He is genuine and transparent. Our people love him and can’t wait for his return.”
Dr. Kevin Hamm, Senior Pastor
Gardendale First Baptist Church – Gardendale, AL
“Without hesitation, I believe Steve Hale is one of the top five evangelists in all of America. His giftedness as a Spirit-empowered evangelist is readily apparent. His many years of moral and financial integrity have few equals. During his time with us each service, was packed to capacity and saw 122 professions of faith. As a pastor of 23 years who has used many evangelists, I recommend Steve Hale without reservation.”
Dr. Jim Palmer, Pastor
Miles Road Baptist Church – Summerville, SC
“We had, by far, the most effective revival meeting ever during the twenty-plus years I have been at First Baptist. The attendance was better than previous meetings, and the crowd grew each night. We saw over 100 decisions for Jesus Christ and are still baptizing every Sunday.”
Rev. Ronnie Walker, Pastor
First Baptist Church – Belleview, FL
“Dr. Steve Hale is the most outstanding preacher I have ever heard! His preaching is passionate and yet professional and polished. His messages are rich in content, practical, inspiring, convicting, and powerfully effective. His ministry made a great impact on our church and there were many lasting decisions for Christ. The most amazing thing about Steve Hale is how effectively he communicates to people of all ages. I simply cannot recommend him and his ministry highly enough.”
Dr. Gene Dollar, Pastor
Pearl Street Baptist Church – Paola, KS
“Steve Hale preached for us at our State-Wide Evangelism Conference. I have heard many outstanding evangelists, but none better than Steve Hale. He was thoroughly prepared and obviously anointed by God. Southern Baptists of Texas loved him and want him back a second time. This humble man of God is the ‘best of the best’ as an evangelist. If I were a pastor, I would schedule him as soon as possible.”
Dr. Don Cass, Director of Evangelism
Southern Baptists of Texas Convention – Euless, Texas
“I wholeheartedly recommend Steve Hale for your next revival crusade. Steve is a great communicator as well as a great writer. He is a friend of pastors. With a keen understanding of the cultural battles we face, Steve’s preaching is bold and without apology. You will see people saved and hearts encouraged.”
Dr. Michael Catt, Senior Pastor
Sherwood Baptist Church – Albany, Georgia
Executive Producer – Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous
“In a wishy-washy world it is good to know God has a preacher like Steve Hale. Dr. Hale has the backbone to preach the truth no matter what. I commend him to you as a bold man of God who preaches without compromise.”
Dr. Herb Reavis – Senior Pastor
North Jacksonville Baptist Church – Jacksonville, FL.
“There were NO emotional appeals, yet we had 60 PROFESSIONS OF FAITH! His follow up book, Keep On The Winning Track, is the best I have ever used. We baptized souls every Sunday after the revival for 7 weeks with additional decisions every service to date.”
Rev. Bob Hall, Senior Pastor;
First Baptist Church – Beebe, AR
“We had over 90 decisions for salvation. I know that revival crusades are seen as old-fashioned. However, I can assure you that if you will partner with Steve Hale, you will see some old-fashioned results.”
Rev. Steve Ballew,
Pastor; Casa Grande, AZ
“Who says local church revivals are a thing of the past? With an average attendance of 400, our church experienced the greatest revival in its history with Dr. Steve Hale in which there were 61 recorded decisions for Christ. Steve is one of the most gifted, Spirit-anointed evangelists in America. His voice needs to be heard in our Land.”
Rev. Geoffrey Lacefield,
Pastor; Cloverleaf Baptist Church; Louisville, KY
“Without a doubt, our time with Steve Hale was one of, if not, the best revival meeting that I, or our church, have ever been a part of. An 86 -year old lady who has been a member for 64 years said, ‘Pastor, I have not seen our church this full in 40+ years.’ Another member said with tears streaming down his face, ‘God is amazing, isn’t He?!’ This was in response to the multiplied decisions that were recorded all week. Our crowds grew each evening and by Wednesday night our attendance had DOUBLED from Sunday morning! Steve spoke the language of our adults as well as our youth. His knowledge of prophecy and how it relates to where we are in history is phenomenal and greatly impacted our adults. Steve also has his hand on the culture of our young people today. I watched as 100 teenagers sat spellbound for 45 minutes as Steve preached. As a result of these meetings, we have baptized more in one night than we had in the previous 11 months! Since our revival, we have started two new Sunday School classes, both new believers’ classes for youth and adults. We have seen an increase in discipleship groups. With a new emphasis, we are launching our outreach ministry in an effort to see the salvations continue. I cannot guarantee these same results in your church, but I can guarantee that God will use Steve in powerful ways. I am reminded of the words of Jesus as He stood outside the tomb of Lazarus after having raised him from the dead. He said to those who took away the stone, ‘Loose him, and let him go.” Call Steve Hale, book him for a series of meetings, then loose him and let him go. Lives will be changed and your church will be blessed!!”
Rev. Jason Vinson,
Pastor; Mount Pleasant Baptist Church; Lexington, AL
“Dr. Steve Hale is a pastor’s friend and supports the pastor in all he does. He is an excellent preacher and has the people coming back to every service. With his skills in communicating with young people and a solid and very convincing school assembly presentation, he brings a unique and special ability to relate to people of all ages. His revival preparation handbook is by far the best I have ever seen or used. Steve spoke to over 5,000 students with his ‘Be a Winner’ assembly presentation and we had over five times the attendance of our normal number of youth. The church experienced revival as we have not seen in years.”
Dr. Craig Hartzog,
Pastor; Northside Baptist Church; Brunswick, GA
“We have just finished a revival meeting with Steve Hale. What an awesome week! Our people have truly been revived! Steve spoke in three of our schools, delivered a great message, and held their attention the entire time, a feat only few can accomplish. Even more importantly, Steve has opened a door of opportunity for us in the schools. Because of Steve’s kindness, integrity, and respect, the administrators now trust us. In fact, the teachers and administrators were so pleased that they wanted him to speak more, but time did not permit. Finally, Steve preaches with such power, authority, and anointing that my people are asking when we will have him back. My answer is ‘soon.’”
Dr. Ralph Jenkins,
Pastor; Grace Baptist Church; Cartersville, GA
“Steve was used mightily in our midst. In the 31 years that I have been Abilene’s pastor, we had the largest crowds that we have ever had in a revival and our people responded to Steve’s ministry in a wonderful way. You will find Steve Hale to be well-prepared and totally committed to the task to which the Lord has called him. I urge you to seriously consider inviting him to your church.”
Rev. Bill Harrell, Senior Pastor
Abilene Baptist Church – Martinez, GA
“It has been my privilege to know Dr. Steve Hale for almost all of the 33 years he has served as a vocational evangelist. He has proven himself to be one of the most effective evangelistic harvesters among us today. He has a message with biblical depth and cultural relevance. Steve has preached in our small churches and mega-churches while also leading all types of area-wide crusades. He has become one of the leaders in the circle of evangelists and a bold spokesman for the need of vocational evangelists. I strongly encourage you to invite Steve Hale to use his gift in your church. You will be blessed as have the scores of church leaders who have used Steve in the past.”
Dr. Richard Harris
NAMB Ambassador and retired NAMB Vice-President – Alpharetta, GA
“Over the years, Steve Hale has proven to be a man of God who loves God, his family and the Church. His integrity and moral life is beyond reproach which is witnessed in his personal and professional life. Steve has the ability to bridge the different generations with the message of the gospel. These are just a few reasons that Steve was invited to preach at our state evangelism conference and was well-received by our pastors.”
Dr. Ross Bauscher, Team Leader – Evangelism Growth Team
Kentucky Baptist Convention
“With all of today’s “marketing” of church strategies, I still do not know of any other type of event where we see results like we did at the revival with Steve Hale. Steve, in my honest opinion, is one of the very best preachers in the country. God’s anointing and power are obviously upon him. Our services with Steve were marked with a great sense of conviction and the presence of God blessing His Word as evidenced in our 32 decisions for Christ. I urge you to invite Steve to your church, and prepare for the best week of your church year!”
Rev. Rich Jenkins, Pastor
Macedonia Baptist Church – Springfield, MO
“Steve Hale stands shoulder to shoulder with today’s best preachers on the basis of sheer content. His spirit is sincere, and his walk with God is known everywhere.”
Dr. Kie Bowman, Senior Pastor
Hyde Park Baptist Church – Austin, TX
“Having had Steve in a revival crusade, I can testify not only of the anointing of God on his life and on his preaching, but also on how easy he is to work with. His financial and personal integrity are impeccable. I am very selective and protective about whom I invite to preach in our pulpit. Rest assured that your people will thank you for exposing them to the ministry of Steve Hale.”
Dr. Lee Lacey, Senior Pastor
First Baptist Church – Sandersville, GA
“I had the honor of being the pastor of the same church for 39 years. Our time with Steve Hale was the best evangelism effort of those 39 years. There is still a sense of revival among our people and a joy over what we saw the Lord do. Steve came with a humble and cooperative spirit. His preaching was profoundly biblical, clear, and powerful.”
Rev. Larry Holland, Former Pastor
Franklin Heights Baptist Church – Rocky Mount, VA
“I could not and would not recommend Steve to you if I did not have the highest respect for his preaching; both delivery and content. He has a strong personal commitment to support the local pastor and bless the church. You will not regret contacting him for a revival in your church soon.”
Rev. Ron L. Hart, Senior Pastor
First Southern Baptist Church – Tucson, AZ
“It is with great joy and excitement that I recommend Dr. Steve Hale as an Evangelist to you and your church. His messages are from the heart of a man of God, from the mind of a student of God’s Word who rightly divides the Word, and from the soul of a man on a mission with a passion to reach the lost. As a pastor of more than forty years who has had some 68 revivals in my pastorates, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dr. Hale to you. His preparation manual is superb. He will provide you with many ideas and suggestions for filling your sanctuary with people. Steve spoke on Sunday morning during the Sunday School hour to our youth encouraging them to attend and bring their friends. He visited each class in our Children’s Division during their Sunday morning classes. Both his personal touch and friendliness were refreshing. Not only were his messages evangelistic, disciple-based, relevant, interesting, and challenging, but he knew how to draw the net in a very positive and non-manipulative way. His invitation method has great integrity. Our revival with Dr. Hale was a wonderful experience from start to finish. His thirty-five years in evangelism speaks of his faithfulness to his calling. I encourage you to be blessed and to benefit from the ministry of Dr. Hale. He is an anointed evangelist who has my appreciation, admiration, and respect for his expertise in evangelism and outreach.”
Dr. Forrest Sheffield,
Senior Pastor; Harrisburg Baptist Church; Tupelo, MS
“Our church’s crusade with Steve Hale was one of the greatest revivals in our history. There is every evidence in Steve’s public ministry of a strong undergirding that only a private walk with the Lord makes possible.”
Dr. Bill Merrell
Lawton, OK
“We experienced one of the best revivals in history with Steve Hale. Steve’s personal demeanor is refreshingly humble and genuine.”
Dr. Dearing Garner
Kingwood, TX
“The ministry of Steve Hale is everything that pastors and evangelists have talked about. He is the best Bible-teaching evangelist I have heard.”
Rev. Bill Mitchell
Tampa, FL
“Steve Hale preaches the Word with the boldness of the prophets of old but also with the tenderness and compassion of our Lord whom he serves. The best word in describing Steve is “anointed.”
Dr. Frank Cox
Duluth, GA
“…A powerful communicator. Our people were held in rapt attention.”
Rev. Tom Suiter;
Kingsport, TN
“Dr. Steve Hale has been with our church on multiple occasions and without exception I have found him to be a servant of God who is always reliable to bring a strong word from God with a loving, and yet, challenging message. His message to our men was powerful to say the least. In fact, I had just returned from attending two one-day conferences, but I received more relevant and inspirational content from one session with Dr. Hale’s time with our men than in those two full days of conferences. Only by God’s anointing can a session be so valuable. Additionally, his “Just for Pastors” newsletter is a source of encouragement and often speaks to where I am. If you have never used this man of God, you are depriving your church family of a blessing.”
Rev. Larry Miller,
Pastor; Eastern Hills Baptist Church; Albuquerque, NM
