Ken Hutcherson to Keynote AFTAH Banquet Sat., Nov. 13 – Save the Date

Pastor Ken Hutcherson of Antioch Bible Church. A former NFL football player, Hutch seeks to be "offensive" for Jesus Christ.

Folks, we are proud and excited to announce that  Pastor Ken Hutcherson will be our keynote speaker for the Americans For Truth fundraising banquet on Saturday, November 13th at the Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Hutcherson is a former NFL football player, but most importantly he is a man of God who has proven himself a faithful ambassador for his Savior, Jesus Christ. Hutcherson founded and pastors Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, Washington (home of Microsoft), and he is one pastor who does not shy away from the cultural battle for truth. (For that he has been maligned and demonized by the usual Christian-bashing suspects who spew lies and hate in the name of tolerance and equality.)

Those who have attended previous AFTAH banquets know that they are intensely educational and uplifting experiences that build you up and equip you to stand for righteousness in a dying culture.  Pastor Ken Hutcherson is a bold man of God whose talk promises to be another special time of celebrating God’s timeless Truth.  I look forward to hearing from – and learning from — ’Hutch.’  Info requests to: americansfortruth@gmail.com  — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org
This Wikipedia bio of Hutcherson contains much useful information and quotes — although Wikipedia can never be trusted to be fair to conservatives or Christian leaders. In the cultural arena, “Hutch” has especially been passionate in confronting:

1. the promotion of homosexuality as a “civil right” analogous to the black civil rights movement;
2. the corruption of youth through the teaching of homosexuality/bisexuality/transsexuality as acceptable lifestyles and even (proud) “identities” in schools; and
3. the escalating LGBT campaign for oxymoronic homosexual “marriage.”

Below is Pastor Hutcherson’s speaker’s bio (see his church bio HERE). In the weeks ahead we’ll tell you more about this exemplary Christian leader with an inspiring testimony of redemption and transformation  — who has been fearless in defense of God’s truth, including that about homosexuality. We’ll also interview him for our “Americans For Truth Hour” radio program. 

Lastly, we ask you to pray for Pastor Hutcherson, who is living with cancer, that God will accomplish His will in Hutch’s life. This is the prayer of Ken himself, in this and every situation.
