Dean Youngsma

Dean Youngsma is a graduate of Central Bible College, Springfield, MO and was given his ordination in 1994. Along with his degrees in evangelism and Bible, he has also received several commendations and other degrees over the years. In ministry, he has functioned as a pastor, evangelist, teacher, worship leader and missionary. His primary passion is the work of the evangelist: jails, prisons, rescue missions and churches. In three different years he has gone to Holland to hold evangelistic meetings, and during the trips he preached to hundreds of people in around thirty different churches and cities all over Holland; many of them more than once. He also attended two Billy Graham conferences for itinerate international evangelists: the first in 1994 (NACIE), and the second, Amsterdam 2000. In 1997-98, he held revival meetings three nights a week for over a year. Since the year 2000 he has written eight books and a pamphlet.

Dean’s books reflect the need for a great spiritual awakening in America. His latest book, The Glorious Conquest, attempts to uncover some of the troubling issues regarding theology, philosophy, sociology, history and erroneous ideologies that are interfering with a great outpouring of God’s Spirit.

Before entering into full-time ministry, Youngsma was a successful businessman: he started and managed a chain of pie shops, owned and operated a bakery, managed a research and development department at a very large wholesale bakery, was a sales manager in the bakery ingredient supply business as well as spending many years on the road as a salesman.

Mr. Youngsma’s vast experience, as well as being a well-traveled “regular” guy, businessman, Bible student and college graduate, has uniquely qualified and equipped him to see some of the churches’ tribulations from many perspectives. During these years he has sacrificed much to bring the truth to a lost generation.
