Our Speakers
Caleb Garraway
Caleb was born into a Christian home on July 20, 1986, and was born into the family of God on November 9, 1994. At age 11, he was called to preach through the preaching of Dr. Jack Hyles at Pastor’s School in Hammond, IN. When he was 16 years old, God called him to be an evangelist. While attending Oklahoma Baptist College, Caleb traveled on the men’s singing group for four years and also worked at the Windsor Hills Baptist Church for two years. God has burdened his heart to spread the fire of revival across America.
Matt Galvan
As a pastor’s kid, I heard the Gospel frequently. I made a profession of faith as a very young child, but only did so because of the pressure of the situation I was in. When I was eleven years old, I was reading about the lake of fire in Revelation 20 while in my bedroom, and I knew that I was not sure if I was truly saved. So then and there, I prayed to God, told Him I was a sinner who deserved to go to Hell, and asked Him to take away my sin and save me. And I know that I am saved today because Romans 10:13 says “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I did not understand everything about the Bible or about salvation, but I knew enough to know that I was a sinner, I could not save myself, and I needed Jesus to save me, so I called out to the Lord that day. I surrendered to preach the summer after I received Christ, and, through a progression of events, God called me specifically into the ministry of full-time evangelism. After watching myself and other teens get right with God at camp, preaching from Romans 1, and traveling with an evangelist, God confirmed my call to the ministry of full-time evangelism when I was seventeen years old. I studied Bible Evangelism at Bob Jones University and received a Master’s degree in Bible from BJU as well. On May 25th, 2014, I was ordained into the gospel ministry.
Jim Schettler
Dr. Jim Schettler grew up in Michigan in a religious home but did not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. On a youth retreat at the age of twelve, he realized his condition and trusted Christ as His Savior. Dr. Schettler served for twenty-five years ministering primarily to young people through Christian education before accepting the pastorate of First Baptist Church in Santa Maria, California, where he served for six years before joining the staff of West Coast Baptist College. Dr. Schettler’s excitement for the Lord and heart’s cry to bring the lost to a saving faith in Jesus Christ permeates his preaching, teaching, and outreach.
