About Pastor Rod Parsley
You may already know of Rod Parsley – as a TV host, evangelist, educator, humanitarian and statesman. At WHC, you’ll come to know him simply as Pastor – in many ways an ordinary guy whose earthly success is directly linked to his willingness to be used by God in extraordinary ways.
Rod Parsley was 19 when he first led a Bible study in his parents’ backyard. In more than 50 years since then, he’s built one of the most important and far-reaching Christian ministries in the United States. He has founded and now leads several major outreaches with local, national and worldwide reaches.
This New York Times best-selling author has successfully advocated for federal legislation, delivered hundreds of millions of pounds of food and medical supplies to poverty-stricken areas of the world and changed the lives of thousands who will shape the cultural landscape in the next generation. He’s in constant demand to preach the Gospel in pulpits across America and around the world, and to comment publicly on the moral issues of our day.
If none of those opportunities had ever presented themselves, though, he’d still be Pastor Parsley, sharing God’s Word with central Ohioans and helping them know God as he does.
In addition to WHC, Pastor Parsley leads:
-
Bridge of Hope is a worldwide mission organization. Bridge of Hope has helped to free slaves and has provided millions of pounds of food, medical supplies, and emergency relief around the world. Most recently, Bridge of Hope is providing help to rescue and provide for trafficked children! The rescued children are placed in loving, safe Christian homes in several nations, where ongoing physical and emotional care for little ones who have already been through hell on Earth is also provided. They receive an education and are prepared for a future of self-sufficiency, made whole in the matchless name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
