Pastors Appreciation Luncheon 2025

INVITATION TO SAN ANTONIO AREA PASTORS & CHAPLAINS...

Join us on September 18th for fellowship, food, and fun as AM 630 The Word hosts our annual Pastors Appreciation Luncheon at Granberry Hills Event Center. We're honoring those in the San Antonio community who have chosen a life of faithful ministry service. The event will include a vendor expo, door prizes, lunch, fellowship with ministry leaders, and a message from Dr. Michael Youssef.

Dr. Michael Youssef was born in Egypt and lived in Lebanon and Australia before coming to the United States and fulfilling a childhood dream of becoming an American citizen. He holds degrees from Moore College in Sydney, Australia, and Fuller Theological Seminary in California, with a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Emory University. He founded The Church of The Apostles in 1987 with fewer than 40 adults with the mission to “Equip the Saints and Seek the Lost.” The church has since grown to a congregation of over 3,000. This church on a hill was the launching pad for Leading The Way’s international ministry.

Leading The Way claims Dr. Youssef as the ministry’s number one volunteer. He receives no compensation for his time, nor does he receive royalties from the sale of any of the resource materials he produces. Dr. Youssef has authored more than 50 books, including popular titles , ?, , , and . He and his wife reside in Atlanta and have 4 children and 15 grandchildren.

AM 630 The Word is hosting this event for those serving our community as shepherds of San Antonio. If you are a pastor or chaplain in any branch of the military, we'd love to see you there.

Thank you to our sponsors for making this event possible!
