Mallory graduated from Southern Methodist University with a B.F.A. in Studio Art and worked as an artist for Athletes in Action for three years. She met Bob while he attended Dallas Theological Seminary, and they married the year before he graduated. After Bob graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary, Mallory helped him pastor a church on the original “Walton’s Mountain” in Virginia. From there, they served on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. When Bob attended Asbury Theological Seminary, Mallory led a discipleship program among the seminary wives in Wilmore, KY. In 1997, Dr. Bob and Mallory launched an international ministry, New Fire for Christ. Over the years, she has led family seminars and founded children’s ministries, which have disciplined tens of thousands in Russia, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Uganda, India, and Pakistan. Mallory has trained many missionaries, pastors' wives, and other women to lead effective ministries. She co-authored "The New Life", an evangelistic training tool. Mallory speaks internationally as a certified "Walk Thru the Bible" teacher and has taught at live events with over 10,000 people. These evangelistic crusades created the need for mass follow-up and discipleship. Mallory and the New Fire Team have raised Nationals who disciple over 200,000 students in weekly discipleship meetings within the schools. She is a gifted speaker and Bible teacher. Mallory is an award-winning watercolor artist, devoted wife, and mother. She is blessed with four wonderful sons, four fantastic daughters-in-law, and ten grandchildren!
