Gary and Wendy Collins traveled full-time in evangelism for over 30
years. Their program was called Total Church Evangelism. They held
evangelistic meetings using Gospel illusions, Swiss cowbells,
ventriloquism, readings and dramatic sermons.
Their daughter grew up on the road and added to the program from the time she
was 5 years old when she began playing "Jesus Loves Me" on the bells.
She also assisted her mom and dad with the illusions and played a folk
harp.
When they
conducted meetings in churches with Christian schools, Wendy would give
speech seminars and help individual students with speech. This prompted
her to write Speech text books.
While they were
on the road many pastors would mention the need for good fundamental
VBS materials. This prompted them to begin publishing VBS programs.
The Lord changed
the focus of their ministry from one of traveling to that of producing
materials for church and school. They feel that the Lord allowed them
to learn much while on the road and they feel that they should pass it
on to others.
