David Miller Preferring the title "Country Preacher-at-Large," Evangelist David Miller of Heber Springs, Ark., will bring the messages at revival services Aug. 17-20 at 6:30 p.m. at West End Baptist Church.

"Rev. Miller is one of the most gifted communicators I have ever heard and, due to a muscle disease, he does it from a wheelchair," said West End's pastor, the Rev. Rodney Cook. "He has preached in over 1,200 revivals and God uses him to be a blessing to all who hear him."

Miller grew up in Stringer, Miss., and moved to Arkansas in 1963. He graduated from high school in Scotland, Ark., and attended Southern Baptist College in Walnut Ridge, Ark. In August, 1994, he was given an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from Immanuel Baptist Seminary, Atlanta.

He served on the Board of Trustees of Southern Baptist College for six years and on the Board of Trustees of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., for eight years.

Miller has been preaching for 42 years. He pastored for five years before becoming Director of Missions for Little Red River Baptist Association in Arkansas. He has been in full-time evangelism with Line Upon Line Ministries since 1995.
