ABOUT DR. ADRIAN
RODGERS AND LOVE WORTH FINDING MINISTRIES
www.LWF.org
Known for his evangelistic zeal and uncompromising commitment to the Word of God, Adrian Rogers was one of the greatest preachers, respected Bible teachers, and Christian leaders of our time. For over fifty years, he consistently presented the Good News of Jesus Christ with strong conviction, compassion, and integrity.
He was a devoted family
man -- husband to his childhood sweetheart Joyce, father to four children,
grandfather to nine, and great-grandfather to one. Of all his accomplishments,
Dr. Rogers often said his greatest joy centered in his relationship to Jesus
Christ, his wife and family, and the church he pastored. The recipient of many
honors and awards, the trophy he treasured most was one presented to him by his
children one Father's Day in which he was proclaimed The World's Greatest Dad.
Under his pastoral
leadership, Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, grew from 9,000
members in 1972 to more than 29,000 at his retirement in 2005. And Adrian
Rogers was a leader in his denomination, serving three terms as president of
the Southern Baptist Convention, which is the world's largest Protestant
denomination of 16 million members.
God's blessing on Dr.
Rogers' ministry became even more evident with the birth of Love Worth Finding
Ministries in 1987. Dr. Rogers was the founder and Bible teacher of Love Worth
Finding, an internationally syndicated television and radio ministry. The sun
never sets on this ministry which is broadcast on radio, television, and the
Internet. You can find LWF declaring the Gospel and changing lives in more than
150 countries around the world. In 2003, Dr. Rogers was honored to be inducted
into the prestigious Hall of Fame by the National Religious Broadcasters.
Dr. Rogers was active in
national leadership and personally consulted and prayed with five presidents of
the United States. He visited and had the privilege of sharing the platform
with President George W. Bush in the White House on the National Day of Prayer
for America.
Dr. Rogers preached
overseas crusades in Taiwan, South Korea, Israel, Russia, Romania, and in
Central and South America.
Adrian Rogers' love for
preaching and preachers extended to the founding of the Adrian Rogers Pastor Training
Institute, a
division of Love Worth Finding Ministries, offering resources and conferences,
to educate, equip and encourage pastors.
In November 2005, God
called Adrian Rogers home. Since that time, tributes have poured in testifying
of his worldwide impact. For more information, visit www.adrianrogers.org.
