A mightily used man of God, and effective evangelist, Dr. John R. Rice once stated,"How we do need a big crop of old-time Bible preaching, sin-condemning, Spirit-filled, soul-winning evangelist! Not only do lost sinners need the ministry of evangelists; the churches everywhere desperately need the impact and influence and ministry of evangelists. God knew what he was doing when he gave in the churches evangelists!" Evangelist Justin Cooper was born in 1983 in Ripley, WV. He was raised in Spencer, WV in a Christian home and his family were and are active members of their local church congregation. Following graduation from high school Evangelist Cooper attended Fairmont State University where he graduated with a BAED in 2006. In the summer of 2005 Evangelist Cooper joined Cornerstone Independent Baptist Church in Newton, WV under the leadership of Pastor Roy Huffman. During the fall semester of his senior year in college, while reading his mother's King James Bible and a tract written by John R. Rice, the Holy Spirit spoke to Evangelist Cooper's heart and showed him his need of a Saviour and the importance of living a life that was centered around pleasing and honoring the Lord Jesus Christ. July 29, 2006 Evangelist Cooper married his wife Desarae who had been attending Pensacola Christian College. The two moved to Charlotte, NC where they both worked in Christian education. During this time Evangelist Cooper began attending Independent Bible Baptist Church. It was while Evangelist Cooper was in a service on a Sunday morning that the Lord called him into the Gospel ministry to preach the Word. Within a week of surrendering and announcing his calling, Evangelist Cooper began preaching and holding services at various churches. Since that time the Lord has continued to use and bless the ministry of Evangelist Justin Cooper with souls saved and saints stirred in local independent Baptist churches throughout the highways and hedges of America. Evangelist Cooper has a burden for the souls of men and has a heart for evangelism. With a burden and desire to see a great revival once again in America, Evangelist Cooper is following in the footsteps left on the revival trail by great men of God of yesterday as he preaches the "old, old story" to a new generation. Since surrendering to the call of God, Evangelist Justin Cooper has been blessed to hold revivals in many churches across the country as well as in tent revivals and Christian school /youth revivals. The Lord is using this ministry to preach the glorious Gospel and to proclaim to a lost and dying world that JESUS SAVES and HE'S COMING SOON!
"We'll get back to having revival when we get back to giving God a chance!" -B.R. Lakin
