Who is Bro. Jed?

"An evangelist with sharp edges,"

Peter Jennings, World News Tonight

"Brother Jed has become an American legend."

--the Mustand Daily, Calisfornia State Polytechnic University

   Bro. Jed has preached the gospel of Jesus Christ on college campuses for over four decades. He has preached on hundreds of universities in a 50 states and abroad.

   He may be the only preacher that is better known among sinners than saints. Five days a week, five hours a day, he can be found at an open-air rostrum confronting college students with the truths of God and calling them to faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

   Bro. Jed is very qualified to address the university community. He has been around academe most of his life. His late father was head of the English Department at Indiana State University. That is where Jed earned a B.S. in Social Studies, a M.S. in U.S. History and did postgraduate work in counseling and psychology. He taught for five years at the junior high, high school and college levels. It is no surprise that after his conversion, he would want to return to familiar stomping grounds and proclaim the great salvation of our Lord! In spite of insults, scorning and constant haranguing,he never grows weary of well-doing. In spite of being pied, egged, mobbed and even physically abused, his love for the students has never failed.  Even now at age 72, each he joyfully enters the battlefield hoping to snatch more souls from the flames.

   Bro. Jed and Sis. Cindy, his wife of 30 years travel the campus circuit together. They have five adult daughters who grew up on the gospel road and still minister with them on occasion.
