Looking Up - Home


As I reflect on the Lord’s rich blessings on this ministry over the past twelve years I am overwhelmed at His goodness. God has honored us with repeat invitations to approximately 50% of the churches where we have been. It is such a great honor to be with some dear pastors/ churches for the second, third, fourth, and fifth times. I am humbled and honored at the marvelous testimonies of the pastors I have had the joy of being with.

Testimonials & Recommendations for “Looking Up Ministries” by Pastors and  respected Church Leaders:


The Lord used our revival with Jackie Kay like a breath of fresh wind on a sizzling summer day. Jackie ministered to our people from his strength of a pastor's heart. Like a gentle shepherd, he stroked and encouraged the sheep while feeding them the enriching oats of the Word. Jackie handles the Word of God faithfully, factually, and fruitfully. Our church is stronger because of the Lord's hand at work in Jackie's life.

What a choice servant of God! Bro. Jackie was with me in revival for the third time. My people always love being ministered to by Bro. Jackie. They want to know when we can have him back again! I have had some less than good experiences with evangelists through the years, but never with Jackie Kay. God will use him to encourage your people as he edifies the church and evangelizes the lost. He communicates in a clear and effective manner. He knows that his call is to feed the flock, not fleece the flock! Your people will love you and appreciate you for having Bro. Jackie.

Brother Pastors,
Allow me the privilege of recommending Dr. Jackie Kay as an evangelist for your next Revival Meeting or Conference. We have just completed a glorious week of meetings with Jackie at First Baptist Church in Dandridge, TN. We had a full house Sunday morning for both services, as well as a packed house for each evening service. I was overjoyed by the response of our people. Jackie’s warm style of presenting the truth of God’s Word in a clear and concise fashion mixed with his infectious joy, deeply moved young and old alike.

This was not a surprise to me, as this was the third time I have had Jackie speak in my pulpit. I first invited Jackie to preach at Broadway Baptist Church ten years ago. The response was so good that we had him back a few years later. Back in December of 2007 I accepted the call to a new place of service in Dandridge, Tennessee. As I prayed about whom to call to lead our Fall Revival in my new church, I obviously wanted someone who I could trust and who had a proven track record. I immediately emailed Jackie to see if he was available. The result was our third meeting which will no doubt lead to a fourth at some point in the future.

It was important for this revival week to go well. As you would understand, coming to a new place of service magnifies the importance setting the agenda in the right direction. Our time with Jackie did just that. Many of my members expressed gratitude to me for bringing Jackie our way. Some of the old timers said they could never remember a Revival with as good attendance as this one.

I would highly encourage you to consider bringing Jackie to your congregation to be encouraged by God’s grace, to be engaged in God’s will, and to thoroughly enjoy this humble servant of God. Feel free to call me if you have any questions about our experience with Jackie Kay.

It had been a couple of years since we had a revival meeting. The church had experienced some tough times. Attendance and morale were down. But, God used Bro. Jackie to breath new life into the congregation. His demeanor as well as his preaching were an encouragement to everyone. The people loved him and want to have him back.

Jimmy Brown
Pilot Oak Baptist Church, Water Valley, KY

"Jackie Kay has preached revivals for me four times in three different churches now. God has blessed in all these meetings in a wonderful way. Jackie is gifted at preaching to the church: encouraging, challenging, and reminding them of wonderful truths in God's Word. People of all ages love him, listen to him, enjoy his sense of humor and respond to his preaching. I have never had to be concerned about what Jackie might say or do while in or out of the pulpit. I can always trust him to preach the Word and really connect with people without embarrassing me. I also am personally encouraged and refreshed by Jackie in our times of fellowship during the week. Bro. Jackie was just with us last month (August 08) and our people want to have him back here again. Our attendance was great and people made decisions in every service. I would encourage any pastor to use him in your church. You and your people will be blessed if you do."

Matt Hall
Cloud Springs Baptist Church, Ft. Oglethorpe, GA (4)
Bro. Jackie was recently with me for the fourth time. I have used him in a small rural church, small town church, larger city church and a tent revival. He is always the same! He is a friend and encourager. He loves the people and the people love him. His spirit is contagious, his humor is "good medicine" and his messages are always Biblical and challenging. If you want a humble, yet strong Bible preaching Evangelist for a meeting call on Jackie Kay! I believe God's hand is upon him!

Matt Helms, Pastor
Webb Baptist Church, Webb, AL (4)
I am writing on behalf of my dear friend Dr. Jackie Kay. I have had Brother Jackie eight times over the past 10 years and it is without any reservation that I recommend him to your church. Brother Jackie is a pastor's friend and a great preacher that will encourage your church. You can be sure that he is a man of integrity and your church will be blessed. As a pastor of 22 years, we are sometimes reluctant to bring people into our pulpit but I assure you Brother Jackie will exalt the Savior and encourage your people to love you. Dr. Kay is one of our church's favorite preachers.

I pray you will consider having him for your next revival or special meeting.

In Christ,
Donnie L. McDaniel, Pastor (8)
Underwood Baptist Church, Florence, Alabama
"Jackie was with our church for our sixth (6th) revival both with me and our church. It is obvious that the Hatton family and I appreciate his ministry and love him dearly. The revival was just what we needed. Bro. Jackie was at his best. He is a great communicator, a preacher true to the Word, and a real "Barnabas". He will be a blessing to both the pastor and the church. I saw smiles return to some people who had lost their joy. I plan to have him with us again and again."

Charlie James, Pastor
Hatton Baptist Church, Leighton, AL (6)
Jackie,
Thanks for a wonderful "One Day Revival". The hearts of my people were blessed. Your messages were encouraging, uplifting, and evangelistic. As you have done in the other times you have been with us at Fairview, you left our church stronger. It has been a joy to know you as a friend for all these years. I can recommend your ministry to any church with no reservations.

In Him,
Mickey Dalrymple, Senior Pastor (3)
Fairview Baptist Church, Columbus, Mississippi
New Prospect Baptist Church, Haleyville AL., was greatly blessed of the Lord to have Dr. Jackie Kay in for our 13th Annual Revival Celebration, July 28, 2008. The message he preached touched our people's hearts and ministered to everyone in the service. The altar was full of people that came to pray and deal with issues in their lives. I can truly say that the spirit of revival touched our church when Jackie was with us.

I recommend him to any pastor and any church that would like to experience a fresh movement of God. He will encourage your people and challenge them at the same time. What you see is what you get with this man of God: Humility, conviction and a great expositor of the Word. He has a heart for souls and loves the church with the heart of a pastor. He encouraged me and our church greatly. I had several members to say they would like to have Bro. Jackie back next year. I highly recommend him to any church or pastor.

Waiting for the shout,
Ron Horton, Pastor
New Prospect Baptist Church, Haleyville, AL

"May I wholeheartedly recommend to you the ministry of Bro. Jackie Kay. Bro. Jackie is Unashamedly biblical in his preaching and will be of great encouragement to you as a pastor and your church. He is also a solid Southern Baptist who adheres to the inspired, Inerrant and infallible Word of God.

Our folks here at Harmony Baptist Church grew to love Bro. Jackie during the days he was with us in revival and have already requested that he return. We probably had the best overall attendance during this revival than any other revival I can remember in my thirteen years as pastor.

If you are looking for an evangelist in whom you can place complete confidence , I commend to you my dear brother, Jackie Kay."

Grover Westover III

Harmony Baptist Church, Whiteville, Tennessee
Our church had the privilege of having Jackie Kay speak at our Men's Conference. Bro. Jackie did a wonderful job of addressing the needs of men and equipping them to be spiritual leaders at home, church and work. His fun personality and faithfulness to the word of God greatly blessed our men.

The preaching, attitude, and spirit of Jackie Kay as he led our church in revival was beyond anything I could have imagined. Our attendance every service was astounding, especially in light of our being a new church overflowing with young couples. We experienced true revival every service. I’ve already asked Jackie to return next year.

Leawood East Baptist Church, Cordova, TN
Dear Bro. Jackie,
Words alone could not fully express how much of a blessing it was to have "Looking Up Ministries" serve us in revival at New Hope Baptist. Your commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His church are certainly among the highest upon which I greatly admire and appreciate you for. Through you the Lord delivered each night a special message, messages which specifically dealt with the personal aspects of the believer and the church as a whole. I also appreciate how the gospel was presented each night with great effectiveness, which in turn created a wonderful evangelistic opportunity for any unbeliever to respond. As a witness of the Lord I must say "throughout the entire revival there wasn’t a stone left unturned where the Lord didn’t work at New Hope in some way each night." Bro. Jackie, through your ministry many eyes were opened and seeds planted and the effects will positively be long term. It was an honor and privilege to have Looking Up Ministries in Hardy, Arkansas, and for you to be the instrument God used to spark revival during my first pastorate.

May the Lord continue to bless your ministry and family,

My first revival as a new pastor was a scary thing for me. However, Bro. Jackie Kay calmed my fears as he encouraged and inspired our church from the Word of God. He was a blessing to spend time with and look I forward to having him back again.

"Jackie Kay is one of the finest expositors of God’s Word I know. His integrity is beyond reproach. I have used Jackie four times and my people always want to know when he can come back. I will definitely have him again."

"God used Jackie Kay in a powerful way. He delivered God’s Word in a manner that was clear, concise, and challenging to believers and unbelievers alike. We praise the Lord for the many professions of faith and the many believers who responded. Additionally, many relinquished burdens, doubts, and fears that have plagued them for years. I look forward to having Jackie with us again at FBC."

Dr. Clay Hallmark

First Baptist Church, Marion, AR
"Compelling, inspirational, true to the Word...Jackie Kay is all of this and more. Over the years God has used him in a mighty way in the churches I have served. I have had Jackie with me in revival six (6) times and have asked him to return again."

Delton Beall

Southside Baptist Church, Princeton, KY (6)
"God honored our revival with Dr. Jackie Kay in an incredible way. Souls were saved and God’s people were blessed and renewed. The messages he brought were supernaturally used of God for me and for our church. I humbly recommend Dr. Jackie to you for your next meeting."

Guy Odom

Hickory Baptist Church, Hickory, MS
"Wow!!! That’s how I describe our revival with Jackie Kay. Every pastor has heard of disappointing experiences with an evangelist. That will not be your experience with Jackie Kay. We will never be the same because of the touch of God upon our church family. Jackie is a man of grace, dignity, and character. I highly recommend him to you for your next revival."

Alan Stewart
Rehoboth Baptist Church, Soddy Daisy, TN
I have known Bro. Jackie and his family since 1983 when he became my pastor. I was only a teenager then, but learned so much from Bro. Jackie by watching his life and listening to his sermons. Bro. Jackie truly has a pastor's heart and he deals with people in a loving way. I was honored to have him come to the church I now pastor in South Mississippi. He blessed us by being faithful to God.

One of the things that helped me as a single staff minister was how Bro. Jackie sent me preparation material for the revival. This material included everything from preparing the church body, music, lodging, promotional helps, and a personal statement of principles which he lived up to. I consider Bro. Jackie a friend and still my pastor. It has been a blessing to allow the church I now pastor to meet and hear a pastor that helped guide me through some of my teen years. Bro. Jackie brings a breath of fresh air to those that he ministers to and a smile that shows he is happy to be there. I highly recommend Bro. Jackie to any pastor or church that desires a gifted speaker and someone who will treat the church as God's children.

We recently had Bro. Jackie with us in revival for the second time. Our folks love his sweet spirit and his powerful preaching of God's Word. I think Bro. Jackie brings an added dimension to the church because of his previous time serving as a pastor. He really knows what the needs are in the body of Christ and speaks to those during the week. We had numerous decisions and will make plans to have him back again.

What a delight and joy to have Bro. Jackie back at Brownsville Baptist Church. Our days together in revival services were a blessing to our entire church family. Jackie’s messages were encouraging and instructional. He not only told us what the Lord intended for us but also how to make it real in our lives. Bro. Jackie is such a real and genuine man of God that people respect him and respond to him. Our folks are already talking about having him back with us again.

Dr. Bob Connerley
Brownsville Baptist Church, Brownsville, TN (3)

Bro. Jackie,
What a wonderful week of revival! Your style of preaching was just what our people love and respond to. It is my pleasure to recommend you to my fellow preachers. They will get sound, biblical preaching with relevant application to their lives. I have had so many positive comments about the great week. It brought unity to our people and challenged us all to grow in our relationship with Christ. Thank you for your sweet and humble spirit. You were so easy to work with and such a pleasure to hang around with. May God richly bless you and your ministry. We will definitely have you back again!!!

PRAISE GOD!!!

When Dr. Jackie Jay came to lead our church in revival three years ago, I had not met him personally. In that week together in 2003, the Lord blessed our church with true revival, I was encouraged as a pastor, and Bro. Jackie became a precious friend in the Lord. He preached God's Word faithfully, accurately and encouragingly. I could hardly wait to contact him, and ask him to be with us in revival again this year. I prayed that we would have as good of a time in the Lord this year, as we had before. Being with Bro. Jackie in revival again was even more encouraging, more uplifting, and more powerful than before. His deep love and affection for our people, and for me personally, is unmatched by any one I have ever known. He truly is called by God to do exactly what he is doing, by encouraging churches, encouraging pastors, and advancing the Kingdom of God. I can only imagine how sweet the fellowship will be, and how powerfully God will move, when we have him back for revival again, for the third time!

"It is a delight for me to recommend Dr. Jackie Kay to my fellow pastors. I had been my privilege to have Jackie in our church twice and each time the results were very positive. Our folks immediately connected to Jackie's warm and gracious spirit. His sermons were biblically sound and very timely. You can be assured that the lost will be challenged and the saints encouraged through Jackie's preaching. The messages are clearly to the point yet sprinkled with enough of Jackie's humor to disarm those who are resistant to the truth of Scripture. Any pastor would do well to have Jackie Kay in his pulpit."

Dr. Mark Stokes
First Baptist Church, Aberdeen, MS
I invited Jackie to lead a week revival a couple of years ago. His passion for Jesus Christ and to see lost people drawn to Him, along with His love for the local church, mad this week a very blessed week for our church family and myself. So when our Vision Team decided to plan a couple of One Day Revivals for 2006, the first person who came to mind to lead the first one of these was Jackie Kay. Once again, our church and myself was blessed with Jackie coming to preach on this day. Several decisions were made for Jesus Christ, and it was an overall wonderful day. Thanks Jackie!

Dr. Scott W. Jones
Pastor, Pearson Baptist Church, Pearl, MS
I have the unique privilege of knowing Jackie Kay in two ways. First, I served on his staff at Bartlett Baptist Church. And now, I have had him in my church as an evangelist. Two words that best describe Jackie are integrity and encouragement. During our revival at Third Baptist, never once did Jackie manipulate or coerce our people. He preached the Word of God with passion and left the results to God. He was the same from the pulpit as he was after the services with our people and staff. Jackie is indeed a man of integrity. But, he is also an encourager. I had Jackie come and speak to our staff. What a great encouragement he was to us! His wisdom accumulated from his walk with the Lord and years of service is so very evident. Our people were encouraged to love our Lord Jesus more, to serve the church more, to desire holiness more, and to share the gospel more. I believe that God used Jackie to "light a fire" within our people that will be used by our Lord to impact our city and county for years to come. Pastor, if you want a man of integrity and encouragement to come and preach to your people the truths of God's Word for today, I believe Jackie Kay is that man!

"Dear Pastors,
I had a pastor friend who told me you need to have Jackie Kay in your church. Well after our few days with him I am saying the same thing. The days we spent with Bro. Jackie were truly refreshing for our church. We had the highest attendance we have ever had in revival meetings. Our worship center was full each service. Our people fell in love with Bro. Jackie. We had over 20 people profess their faith in Christ, dozens of public recommitments, people transferred their membership, and one surrendered to the ministry! This was certainly one of the most encouraging weeks I have experienced as a pastor. I whole heartedly say get Bro. Jackie in your church! He is humble, humorous, and spirit-filled!"


Dr. Wilton Wall

Pastor, First Baptist Church, Simsboro, Louisiana
"Jackie comes with a number of messages he can ably preach, the personal experience to determine what your church needs to hear, and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit that allows him to zero in on the target God wants him to hit. He communicated effectively to every age group in our church by being genuine in style and biblical in content. In each service our people received clear teachings from the Bible with a bold call to specific commitments. The decisions made during the meeting continue to have an impact on the life of the church."

Dr. Jack Carver

Bethlehem Baptist Church, Taylorsville, NC
Numerous years had passed since I had led a church in a traditional revival effort. However, when the leadership of the Georgia Baptist Convention asked the 3,500 churches of the GBC to participate in a series of "Wave Revivals," the Spirit prompted me to get Calvary involved. As I sought the Lord's guidance about His choice for an evangelist to lead us, Jackie Kay kept coming to mind. In fact, I could not get him out of my mind. I had known Jackie since my days as a Minister of Music and Youth in Alabama where he served an area church as pastor. He was highly respected as a preacher and as a man with a heart for the kingdom, and he remains so today.

I cannot tell you how wonderfully pleased I was with Jackie's leadership during our Times of Refreshing, as we called them this past Spring. Some evangelists put on a performance, but Jackie brought us a powerful, challenging word from God.

Some evangelists, without knowing a church or its people, devise a schedule of preaching and those sermons get preached regardless. Jackie sincerely seeks each day the face of God as he prepares to minister to a congregation. He has a keen sense of a revival's flow and what God is trying to accomplish, and that is critical to the success of a revival.

Some evangelists have no idea what it means to be a pastor, but Jackie has been there, and he knows the rigors and pressures of leading a church. Even more, Jackie has faced the fire both professionally and personally, and the lessons he has learned through pain come pouring out of the depths of his soul and help bring healing to the folks who hear.

With Jackie Kay, a pastor doesn't have to worry that the evangelist will leave a mess behind. To the contrary, Jackie comes with a sweet, sweet spirit, and that spirit is ever so evident as he stands as God's instrument each night. Jackie filled the pulpit for us, but better than that, the Holy Spirit filled him.

Get Jackie if you can, and get him as soon as you can.

Dear Pastors,

I cannot encourage you enough to have Jackie Kay come and lead your church in revival services. The wonderful encouragement that Jackie brings will be contagious among your people. His smile and laughter will warm their hearts and yours. And at the same time, his messages are meeting peoples needs right where they are! Practical, real life issues that God uses to speak to the congregation through Jackie. He has been with us in 2 revival meetings, and both have led to a lingering spirit of revival in the days after the services. We will have him back again!

Rev. Gene Nelson
Trenton Street Baptist Church, Harriman, TN

Brother Jackie! He is truly God's man behind, and beyond, the pulpit. He is a wonderful servant of encouragement to pastors, as well as the church. His message entitled, "The Heart of God," from Matthew 9:35-38, is one every local church in America would benefit from hearing, and then, obeying. I wholeheartedly testify to the godly character, edifying spirit, and effective ministry of Dr. Jackie Kay."

Allen Roberts, Pastor
Antioch Baptist Church, Johnson City, TN
A repeat invitation for a revival evangelist says one thing about God’s servant-God uses him. This was our third revival with Jackie Kay and I must admit to you, fellow pastor, it gets better and better. Our recent revival yielded numerous decisions for Christ, many believers submitting to live for Him daily, and the overall spirit of the church becoming sweeter.

Pastor, if you are discouraged, you need to schedule Jackie for revival. He will encourage you and your people. In a world of negativity, he is a bright and shining star for Christ. Our people are already asking when we can get him again.

Bobby Eads
First Baptist Church, Hazel Green, AL (3)

Bro Jackie is one of the finest expositors of God’s Word that I know. His messages are biblical, warm and practical. I never have to worry about what Bro Jackie is going to say or do. His integrity is beyond reproach. The first thing my people say to me after Bro Jackie leaves is “How soon can we have him back!” I’ve used Bro Jackie three times and I’m planning on having him back again!

Dear Jackie,

What a blessing it was to have you in revival at Troy First Baptist Church for the second time! God used you to encourage our church and challenge us to press on in the work of the Kingdom. In Tuesday night's service, heaven came down in a way that I have not experienced in a long time. Person after person has told me that this was one of the best revivals they had ever been apart of. Thank you for letting God use you. Thank you for your encouragement to me as a pastor. Thank you for your spirit of integrity. Thank you for the wonderful job you did in communicating with me before and after the revival. I was blessed, our church was blessed, and I believe God was glorified.

Love In Christ,
Vann Kissell
First Baptist Church, Troy, TN 38260 (2)

What a joy it was to have Jackie back at First Baptist for a second time. God used him to encourage our souls and exalt our Savior. The revival [Feb. 2005] was scripturally based and spiritually blessed. Jackie's preaching touched the hearts of our folks with the assurance of a Loving Lord. Of course we added to the fellowship, but seeing the altar full of praying people is what a church revival is about. I appreciate this brother as a friend and fellow worker in our Lord's vineyards.

Gerald Hallmark,
First Baptist Church, Alexander City, AL (2)

In February 2005,our church was led in revival services by Dr. Jackie Kay .I had met Jackie at the Southern Baptist Convention but had never even heard him preach. The attendance and support of our people was outstanding. Dr. Kay’s messages were timely and timeless, and I appreciated his spirit and love for God’s word and God’s people. Our people are already asking me to invite him back for another meeting. I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation. I especially encourage my fellow Alabama pastors to invite him back to the Promised Land.

Dr. Mike Shaw, First Baptist Church of Pelham, Alabama

What a joy it was for us at Grant's Creek to have Bro. Jackie Kay for our first revival since I came as pastor seven months ago. It was important that our first meeting was a good one, and it was! God used Bro. Jackie to encourage us and challenge us in a wonderful way. We laughed, we cried, and we rejoiced together throughout the week. Our people didn't want the revival to end. I wholeheartedly recommend Bro. Jackie as gracious servant of our Lord with a unique gift to build up the body of Christ.
Mike Griffin,
Pastor, Grant's Creek Baptist Church, Fosters, AL
Our church family was deeply blessed by the ministry of Jackie Kay in our fall revival. His preached the Word with such a sweet spirit that touched the hearts of all our people. I can recommend him to your church with absolutely no reservations.
Mickey Dalrymple
Pastor, Fairview Baptist Church, Columbus, MS (2)
Jackie Kay has blessed the hearts of our people on two occasions now. I had never had more requests to have an evangelist back than after his first meeting with us. Jackie is a man of integrity who will preach the word in a way that will minister to the body of Christ and bless you as a Pastor. His humor and spiritual insight combine to make a real connection to the lives of your people. I would encourage you to have Jackie for a meeting. God uses him in an incredible way to minister to hurting hearts.

John Price
Pastor, First Baptist Church, Orange Beach, AL (2)
We recently had Jackie Kay back to our church for a One Day event. Once again our church responded to his warm and humorous presentation of the gospel just like they did when we had him for a week long revival. He brought his wife Libby with him this time. She is a jewel and it was a delight for my wife and me to get to know her. Jackie loves the Lord, His Church, His people, and His pastors. Jackie loves to preach God’s Word to the lost and uncommitted. I'm sure he could be a blessing to your church like he was to ours.
Dr. Travis Coleman
Pastor, First Baptist Church, Prattville, AL (2)
It had been many years since our church had experienced revival; thankfully that has changed.  God used Jackie Kay in a marvelous way to bring revival to our church.  Jackie is an excellent communicator to people of all ages; our people responded to his messages in ways I have never seen.  Jackie is an evangelist with a pastor's heart, perspective, and desire to see your church be all it can be for the glory of God.  I wholeheartedly commend Jackie Kay for your next revival; we look forward to having him back.

Todd Evans
Parkview Baptist Church, Decatur, AL
It was our privilege to have Jackie Kay for revival at Calvary Baptist Church. I have followed his ministry for some time and the Holy Spirit led me to call him for the meeting. We were blessed with wonderful "Spirit-filled" services.

Jackie's messages were as if we had talked about needs in our church that needed addressing while not one word was shared between us.

He has a passion for souls to be saved and a love for the church that is evident in every message. Call Jackie Kay and schedule a meeting with him. I will be calling him again.

Steve McDonald
Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
What a wonderful joy it is to recommend Dr. Jackie Kay to any church in need of heaven sent revival. I have had the personal privilege of having Jackie in three revivals and also supply on one occasion. Two revivals and the supply were during my previous pastorate. As I entered my current pastorate I sought the Lord as to which evangelist He would have come for one of our first year's revivals together. The Holy Spirit lead me very clearly to invite Jackie. He is sound doctrinally, sensitive spiritually, witty personally, and powerful in the pulpit. Upon completion of our meetings together, my congregation has always asked, "When are you going to invite Bro. Jackie back?" We’ve had three wonderful revivals together. There will be a fourth, a fifth, a sixth.....

Jim Holcomb
Belden Baptist Church, Belden, MS (4)
It has been my privilege to use Jackie for three revival meetings and we are making plans now to schedule him again in 2006. He has the highest ethics possible and God has built a deep sense of humility into his life. In my forty years as a pastor and using many different evangelists I would have to say that I have never worked with a more cooperative man than Jackie Kay. I assure you that Brother Jackie will not mention finances in anyway and he will trust your leadership in that regard completely. Jackie Kay has no hidden agenda, he is a man of integrity who simply loves Jesus, loves to preach God's Word and loves people. Once the meeting is over and Brother Jackie is gone, you will have no problems to address, no fracture in the fellowship, just a sweet, sweet spirit and your people will be asking when can he return.

Dean Timbes
Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, Albertville, AL
Dr. Jackie Kay will be good for your church! We've used him on three occasions at College Heights and our people said, "You need to get him back!" He is an encourager who is faithful to the Word of God. Souls will be saved and your church will be blessed. Pastor, your people will love you more for having him.

Dr. Larry Gilmore
Pastor, College Heights Baptist Church, Gallatin, TN (3)
Note: After 27 years as pastor of CHBC, Dr. Gilmore accepted the position as Director of Evangelism for the Tennessee Baptist Convention in May 2003.

"As a new pastor in Columbia, KY, I wanted to schedule a revival that would uplift the church, challenge us to be faithful to serve, and reach the lost for Christ. God used Bro. Jackie to do all of that, and so much more. I had not met Bro. Jackie before the revival but I had heard how God was using him. He has been an encouragement to our people and a wonderful new friend and encourager to me. Bro. Jackie has been where every pastor is and he knows the struggles that come our way. I thank God that He brought this talented, energetic, vibrant man of God to our church for the wonderful days of revival."

Randy Johnson
Pastor, Columbia Baptist Church, Columbia, KY

“Jackie is an evangelist with intensity as well as integrity. He is sensitive to the needs of a pastor and his church. We will have Jackie back...as soon as possible.”

“What a tremendous blessing was Jackie to our church and to me personally. There were many decisions for Christ resulting in many baptisms for weeks after the revival. Decisions continue to be made as a result of the Lord blessing our time together. I know that I have a new friend for life.”

Greg Beasley
New Bethel Baptist Church, Tuscumbia, AL

“I found Jackie to be a biblical, honest, and straightforward preacher. The appeal was made without manipulation. As a result we had a refreshing week with a number of people wishing the meeting would go on longer. Many people responded to the challenges to pray, commit, and serve. Our church is stronger because of our week with Jackie Kay. We have already confirmed a date to have him back with us in 2006.”

“The Brainerd Hills Baptist Church has just concluded our third revival with Jackie Kay. Jackie always preaches the Word with a gracious heart. The church is encouraged, the unsaved are challenged to come to faith in Christ. What a pleasure it always is to work with Jackie. He has a calling to be an evangelist! We look forward to using him again.”

Richard Mason

“Jackie comes with a commitment to help the church and encourage the pastor and he does just that! This is my second time to have Jackie and we look forward to our third time with excitement. Our people said, “Can we have him back again?” “God has made a difference in our home this week.” Our people truly love Jackie Kay.”

“It has been my joy to have Jackie Kay three times in revival. Each time his messages have been positive, powerful, and pertinent for our day. Jackie is an encourager! God’s hand is upon him! Your people will love him!

We just had a wonderful week of revival with Jackie Kay here at First Baptist Huntingdon. The Holy Spirit showed up as we worshiped and praised our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We were seeking a time of renewal in our church and the Lord used Jackie in a mighty way to do just that. Jackie blessed our hearts with his humor, a cheerful heart does do good like a medicine. And his timely messages inspired us and urged us on to be more for God that we had been before. We were truly revived as a people of God.
