Charles Chatman’s life was in danger through his failing kidneys.  Remarkably, 13 people offered to provide him one of their kidneys.  But it was his daughter who had the joy of donating a life-saving kidney to her own father.  In this radio interview shortly after the transplant, Charles and Cindy Chatman Klouse talk of their impacting experience.  Charles Chatman - pastor, evangelist, missionary, servant of the poor -  has made more that 200 ministry journeys to Haiti, among the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere.  He and his Charles Chatman Evangelistic Association (www.charleschatman.com) has built 37 church buildings there, begun other churches, fed thousands of hungry children, provided medical clinics, and sponsors an orphanage for several hundred children.  Corporately 3,500 have gone on short term mission trips sponsored by his Association.  Within one year of receiving Cindy’s donated kidney, Charles made three preaching trips to Jamaica, scheduled other missions there, and made one evangelistic preaching trip to the Ukraine in the former Soviet Union.  Many thousands have come to faith in Jesus through this great and humble ministry.

.in 2007 was elected President of the Missouri Baptist
Convention at their 137th Annual Session, which is composed of 2,000
Missouri churches. For a generation he served as pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Arnold, MO, located on the south side of the greater St.
Louis area. During his pastorate the church grew enormously. Thousands
came to Christ, and then continued their growth. There were many highlights
in the life of the church. A remarkable episode in his ministry was
triggered when Congressman Richard Gephardt, representing his district, sent
out a questionnaire asking his constituents to express themselves on their
convictions. Pastor Davidson received the letter just days before the
Congressman and his mother visited Pastor Davidson's church. What happened
on that Sunday made national news, including being featured on a nationwide
edition Dr. James Dobson's Focus on the Family. You can hear the summary of
that story here.

Don’s compelling book, “Peace Child,” was the Readers’ Digest “Book of the Month” several years ago.

12-year-old Eric Joshua Munoz serves as Spanish to English translator in his pastor-father’s church in Guatemala.  He was my youngest radio guest to date other than my granddaughter (who read the Christmas story on air).  Eric warmly and clearly shares the Gospel of Christ as he tells of his own spiritual journey under the loving leadership of his parents.  Already he senses a “call” from God for special ministry service.  You will be impressed as to how well he handles himself in our radio conversation.  Eric was in the United States as a guest of Bryan and Vicki Brand, founders of the Jesus Name Project (www.jesusnameproject.com).  He would be delighted to receive an email from you and can be written at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
