Bob had a dramatic personal conversion during his senior year at the College of William and Mary. Called to the ministry, he interned under Senior Pastor Dick Woodward for three years before going on to earn a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, where he won the Seminary’s Lincoln Award in Bible Exposition and co-founded the Seminary’s annual Week of Evangelism. It was there that Bob met his loving wife, Mallory. Bob pastored a growing church on the original “Walton’s Mountain” captured by the classic TV series, The Waltons. He went on to serve as a National Speaker with Campus Crusade for Christ International (CRU). He then went on to Asbury Theological Seminary, earning a doctorate in Biblical Preaching. Dr. Bob received numerous international invitations, so in 1997, he founded New Fire for Christ. The Lord had Dr. Bob and Mallory lead city-wide evangelistic campaigns and conferences in Pakistan, India, Russia, Tanzania, and Kenya. These mass evangelism efforts required intense follow-up. As a result, New Fire has founded ongoing Schools of Discipleship, with over 200,000 students in Africa and Asia being discipled regularly and many transformed by Christ. Dr. Bob has ministered to millions through evangelistic campaigns, radio programs, and television. As a result, forty-six churches have been founded, and tens of thousands of students have become active disciples of Christ. Bob and Mallory reside in Norfolk, VA, and have been blessed with four wonderful sons, four fantastic daughters-in-law, and ten grandchildren!
