In the late 60s, a missionary couple suffered medical problems and returned home to Chattanooga. Little did they know that God finally had them right where He wanted them. Jack Arthur became the Station Manager for a Christian radio station. And Kay Arthur started a Bible study for teenagers in their living room. By 1970, the teens were meeting in a barn they had cleaned out and patched up themselves.

Soon adults were coming, too. And it was obvious that an expanded ministry center needed to be constructed. That's when Jack left his radio career and became President and leader of this flourishing new organization. Today, Precept Ministries International reaches around the world into over 100 countries. It's hard to believe that all this could come from a ministry that once met in a barn. But then again, our Lord's ministry began in a manger.
