Meet the Gospel Catalyst Network:

Tyler Best, AoP ’12

Tyler Best AoP’12 is a student at University of Evansville in Evansville, IN.  Tyler was so inspired by his experience at last year’s National Festival, he purchased a Festival in a Box and created a Festival of Young Preachers in his hometown last June.  His school has a Festival scheduled next month and he’s working on a denominational festival for the summer.  Now that’s inspiring!

Larry Terrell Crudup, AoP ’10

Crudup AoP’10 is a student at SMU Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, TX.  His enthusiastic networking helped Perkins connect to the AoP.  The result, in 2013 Perkins’ preaching professor, Dr. Alyce McKenzie, served at the Festival in multiple roles including serving as mentor for the additional 6 Young Preachers from Perkins.  Larry will again work with the Texas Regional Festival of Young Preachers.

With many thanks to the 2012 Gospel Catalyst team we welcome Dominique Robinson, Kadri Webb, Rachel Brocker and Brandon Perkins in the role of Alumni Catalysts.  Larry and Aaron also served on the 2012 team and are strategically placed to keep up the good work this year.  Brandon has academic commitments that won’t allow him to be with us in Indy, but expect to hear from Dominique, Kadri and Rachel as they determine how to use their best gifts in preparation for 2014 Festival.
