MEL BLACKABY
Pastor, First Baptist Church
Jonesboro, GA
Mel Blackaby is the Sr. Pastor of First Baptist Jonesboro. He has strong convictions God’s great salvation is intensely personal, but it was never meant to be private. That is why he challenges every believer to live out his or her faith within the family of God and before a watching world.
Prayer and a serious study of God’s Word are two points of emphasis he has for his church. We are excited for him to share those same points with us during the Prayer Summit.
