Bob Havey is a dynamic, charismatic author and speaker
who vividly portrays the power and practicality of God's
life changing word and the monumental depth of His unconditional
love, compassion, and faithfulness in a positive,
challenging, sometimes humorous, and spiritually stimulating
style.
Bob discovered his gift for touching the lives of others with God's healing power
while speaking before a group of two hundred men at a weekend retreat at
Pilgrim Pines Conference Center in West Swanzey, New Hampshire in October of
1994.
"I was terrified," Bob said. "I didn't know I was going to
be asked to speak. But the Lord is faithful. He gave me the words. When I finished
I saw tears in the eyes of all those men. I knew then that God could use me;
could use my pain to help others. I give Him all the glory."
This father of three has spent nearly four decades working in the communications
industry, beginning his career in 1969 at The Los Angeles Herald Examiner,
in Los Angeles, CA. He is the founder and past president of New England Christian
Media Ministries, Inc., and currently serves as president of the Interdenominational
Christian Men’s Network, Inc., a non-profit Christian men’s ministry.
He has served on the board of directors of two Christian counseling agencies;
Hosanna Lighthouse Ministries and Comprehensive Counseling.
Bob served as Co-Pastor for The Epistles of Christ Christian Center in Bourne,
MA for several years and has appeared on various Christian radio and television
programs and has been the keynote speaker for numerous churches and organizations
including Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International.
A featured speaker at Ordinary Man - Extraordinary God, the 1998 New England
Men’s Conference; Bob shared the speaker’s platform with Promise
Keepers founder and CEO, Coach Bill McCartney, the Rev. Dr. A. R. Bernard, Pastor
of the 10,000 member New York Christian Life Centre, in Brooklyn, NY and Dr.
Ken R. Canfield of The National Center for Fathering. Many have called this conference,
sponsored and produced by New England Christian Media Ministries, the most dynamic
Christian men’s event in the history of New England.
On January 22nd, 1994, Bob’s daughter, Erinn, who had been battling leukemia
for twenty two months, went to be with the Lord she had grown to love so much.
In March of that same year, Bob received a word from the Lord exhorting him to
start a Christian newspaper. In September of 1994, the first edition of
The Messenger, which was distributed by more than ninety Christian bookstores
in all six New England states, was launched.
Bob has written many articles and columns which he has incorporated into a book
entitled, Through A Glass Darkly: An Anthology (unpublished), and is near the
completion of another non-fiction book, Be Not Dismayed: A Story of Spiritual
Triumph.
Spiritual restoration is the focus of Bob’s ministry. He has touched audiences
all over New England and he'll touch your audience as well, with the extraordinary
power of God's life changing word.
