JACK KING

Tragedy and Turning Point

Gunned down “execution style” screamed the newspaper headlines. Jack King spent the next two years relentlessly trying to solve his father’s shocking murder. Jack received the Lord Jesus Christ two years after the murder and learned to trust God’s Word that said, “All things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

The Power of Forgiveness

Soon after becoming a Christian at a meeting with Edwin Louis Cole, Jack’s life was dramatically impacted by a message of forgiveness. Since then, Jack’s own testimony of God’s power of forgiveness had brought healing and hope to men throughout the country. His life proved again what Joseph learned centuries ago, that God could take anything meant for bad and turn it around to work for one’s good.

Faithful Men Ministries

Jack was affiliated with Edwin Louis Cole’s ministry beginning 1984, and served in full-time ministry as Brother Cole’s associate minister from 1987 until shortly after Brother Cole’s home going, August 27, 2002. In January 2003, FAITHFUL MEN MINISTRIES was founded by Jack and continues declaring God’s truth to men everywhere. He was married to Betty, with five children. He was also a former U.S. Army Drill Sergeant. With this background, he ministered with an uncommon boldness combined with a God-given tenderness and humor.

Manhood and Christlikeness

For fifteen years, Jack traveled with Brother Cole to minister to men from all walks of life, and to build men’s ministry that really worked. He taught life-changing principles relating to men’s issues in his own church as well as in churches across the nation and around the world. Jack King lived the powerful truth that “Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous.”
