Truett McConnell University recently honored the late Charles Stanley, dedicating the Dr. Charles F. Stanley Global Impact Center. Distinguished guests, several trustees, University administrators and faculty, and students attended the dedication. Stanley was remembered for his providential purpose, his passionate preaching, and his persistent and powerful prayers.
Stanley was pastor of Atlanta’s First Baptist Church for more than 50 years, the founder of In Touch Ministries, a New York Times best-selling author, and an avid photographer.
Inspired by Psalm 67:2 (TLB), “Send us around the world with the news of Your saving power and Your eternal plan for all mankind,” Stanley proceeded to seek out and employ innovative technologies to send the message of Christ to the ends of the earth. Today, “In Touch” is broadcast on thousands of television, radio, and satellite networks and stations worldwide and translated into 160 languages.
