About Hal Upchurch
Hal Upchurch, May 4, 1918 - May 1, 2008 Born of humble beginnings as one of six children in a Central Texas sharecropping family, died in West Texas three days short of his 90th birthday. Between the dashes, he became husband to Jerry, father to Hal Rhea and Mary Kay, friend, pastor, teacher, and example to countless others. Responding to "The Whisper" that told him to "stand before the people with a Bible in your hand", he was admitted to Wayland Baptist College in 1940, a few years after completing only eight grades in a one-room country school. An endowed scholarship in his name continues to help equip Wayland students for their ministries. He served churches in Texas, Wyoming, and Colorado across the intervening decades. For more than twenty years, he preached in the summer Cowboy Camp Meetings throughout the western states. In 1963, he preached in the New Life Crusade in the Far East. In 1966, he went on a one-month Around the World preaching tour. He remained actively involved in preaching revivals and Bible studies in the Central and Western United States until retirement in the Hill Country near the place of his birth.
