What SBC leaders say about Welch
Published June 10, 2004
“The prayers of fellow Southern
Baptists over the past two years have been among the
sweetest and dearest of blessings in my life, my church,
my ministry and my family. I feel I have fresh clarity
for prayer and eager desire to see Bobby Welch lead us
forward in
the work of Christ in this generation. He is a preacher
and a leader I admire and love. I pray for great wisdom
and great faith in the days to come. He is a man on
mission with God and, I believe, will challenge us all to
be faithful to Great Commission purposes and dreams in
the days to come.” |
JACK GRAHAM
Southern Baptist Convention president and pastor,
Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas |
| “I have known Bobby Welch for almost
40 years. I have the greatest respect for him. He is a
‘what you see is what you get’ man. He will
make an excellent president.” |
JERRY VINES
former SBC president
pastor, First Baptist Church Jacksonville |
| “He has been a friend for more years
than we like to talk about. He was on the Search
Committee that invited me to come to Florida in 1989. In
fact, Bobby came by my room after the meeting was over to
encourage me to pray about it. He has been a friend and
encourager in my work as executive
director-treasurer.” |
JOHN SULLIVAN
executive director-treasurer Florida Baptist Convention |
| “Bobby Welch is a class act who has
stood tall in the effort these past years to return the
SBC to its biblical roots. He is a Kingdom man and will
bring out the best in those around him.” |
JIMMY DRAPER
former SBC president
president, LifeWay Christian Resources |
