Evangelist Dave Kistler was born in Greenville, SC,to the home of Pastor and Mrs. Charles Kistler. He was saved at the age of 5, and was caled to preach at the age of 17.

After completing high school, he attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Bible in 1981, his M.A. in Pastor Studies in 1983, and his M.Div. in Bible in 1985. While at Bob Jones, 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 omen who were doing advanced work in preparation for the ministry. During his college years, he led an evangelistic team consisting of 6 men and ministered on the weekends in the southern United States. He did all the preaching for this team. After graduating from Bob Jones, Evangelist Kistler assumed 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 as well as leading his own young people in evangelistic outreach to other youth, both in the United States and on the mission field.
While serving as 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 acrossthe United States and on the mission field.
