“Preacher Boy” to Vice President of Bible Institute

As a teenager, Ric went forward in a Missions Conference to give his life to full-time ministry.
The Word of Life Club leader followed up Ric’s decision by telling him that he should get
involved in preaching at Teens Involved. He did and he loved it. This experience served to
confirm that God wanted Ric in full-time ministry. Students from around the world now benefit
from the experience of this “preacher boy.” Only today they call him “Mr. Garland” and he
serves as Word of Life’s Vice President of Bible Institutes.
