Evangelist Dave Kistler was born in Greenville, South Carolina, to the home of Pastor and Mrs. Charles Kistler. At the age of 5, he was saved and at the age of 17, called to preach. After completing high school, he attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Bible in 1981, his MA in Pastoral Studies in 1983, and his M. Div. In Bible in 1985. While at BJU, the Lord was preparing him for a place of leadership by allowing him to serve as an officer in several school organizations during his undergraduate and graduate years. Twice he served as President of the University’s graduate class, which consisted of over 200 men and women who were doing advanced work in preparation for the ministry. During his college years, he led an evangelistic team consisting of 6 men that ministered on the weekends in the southern United States. He did all the preaching for this team. After graduating from BJU, Evangelist Kistler took responsibility for a youth ministry in Florida which consisted of approximately 100 young people. While there for two years, he preached to numerous high school groups and church groups. While a youth pastor in Florida, Evangelist Kistler was asked to travel with Evangelist Ron Comfort for a summer to assist in the training of 6 college men interested in the field of evangelism. It was during that summer that the Lord confirmed to him that God’s Will for him was full-time evangelism. Since beginning in evangelism in 1987, Evangelist Kistler has preached in churches, schools, and camps all across the United States and on the foreign mission field.
