In the last few years, quite a number of the Baptist preachers who are recognized as "great" men have gone home. Several of these led long prosperous lives, while others just did make their "three score and ten".
June 2009 has brought us the loss of Joe Boyd and Carl Hatch. No matter what your personal feelings toward either of these men are, one cannot deny that they did a lot to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ out, and made known abroad throughout these United States.
Joe Boyd
Joseph Milton Boyd was born on May 5, 1917, and died on June 1, 2009. Joe Boyd is most well-known for his tent revivals across various parts of the country, but he also started and pastored three churches, and founded the Mt. Salem Revival Grounds in West Union, West Virginia.
Joe Boyd spent over 62 years preaching the Gospel.
Carl Hatch
Carl hatch was another Baptist evangelist who was well-known for getting out the Gospel. He died on June 14, 2009, after a long battle with a lung disease. (This entry will be updated as soon as more biographical information becomes available.)
