http://alvinreid.com equipping leaders in the coming generation to change the world Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:38:18 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 I grew up in Alabama (can you read my accent?) in a home with wonderful parents who took me to church. I met Jesus Christ as an 11 year old in 1970. At our church a lot of hippie freaks (remember them?) became Jesus freaks after being changed by the power of the gospel. I knew I wanted to have the passion for God they did. I knew something was missing in my life. So, I turned from my sin, and asked Jesus to take over my life. I have never gotten over it! NOTE: If you would like to know more about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ email me now :-). I met my beautiful wife Michelle at Samford University where I began to study for the ministry. I served a church there as minister of music. I left for health reasons-they got sick and tired of my singing! I also spent a summer as a youth evangelist. After graduation and marriage we headed to Ft. Worth to seminary. I earned my MDiv and PhD in evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I was a pastor for part of that time. Since then we have served the Lord as Home Missionaries in Indiana where I served as state evangelism director for the Southern Baptist work there. Then we moved to Houston where I spent three wonderful years teaching at Houston Baptist Theological Seminary.In 1995, Michelle, Josh, Hannah and I moved to Wake Forest, NC, where I have taught until now. Southeastern Seminary is the greatest place on earth! It is the fastest growing seminary in the world, but that is not the big story. The hand of God rests on the place, in chapel, in class, in faculty meeting-no kidding! What an honor it is to live the great adventure of the Christian life. God is good, all the time!

I do enjoy playing the bass guitar. And I certainly love playing with these guys. They are a lot better musicians than I will ever be, which makes it a challenge. But it is nice to pull out the five string every now again and lay down a little rhythm.

Here are some from FSU who ministered with me at a DNow in Deland, Florida.
