Defining Evangelism

This sermon features Evangelist Darrell Richardson of Hilton Head Island, SC, in the United States. This southeastern coastal location decorates the terrain with palm trees and sea turtles. Sailboats enter the harbor with pink, purple, and green, coloring the sunsets and resting over the stillness of the ocean.

Darrell was born on April 7, 1946, in a small town in eastern Tennessee, where he grew up on a small farm. He loved to play basketball & baseball and studied music, playing the piano and organ in his local church. 

He is known as a father, business leader, role model, teacher, evangelist, and follower of Jesus Christ. After retiring from more than a 50-year aviation career, God called him to serve as an evangelist and full-time missionary to both Haiti & Kenya. He helped to establish a primary school in Kenya that provides an education each year to hundreds of students in a small village made up mostly of farmers. He also preached many sermons and taught Sunday School classes throughout the Kenyan countryside, helping people turn in their old lives for new ones in Christ.  

His glidepath to God has not always been a smooth one. There was some turbulence, but he made a smooth landing. He has a strong relationship with Jesus and tells the story that Jesus told him one day, "Go tell them who I am."  So, in the end, he sold everything so that he could follow Jesus' command, serving Him in the outback of Kenya as a missionary.

It is a pleasure to have Darrell share his obedience and dedication to God with us, and I hope you enjoy today's sermon titled, Defining Evangelism with Evangelist Darrell Richardson.
