IV. Concerts

The Encouraging Evangelist

Ben Everson

Bringing music & the Word to churches across America

Available for revival and encouragement meetings

A singing preacher, not a preaching singer. Amanda travels with me and we bring our own sound, so a church needs nothing but a room and a welcome. We come for a Sunday through Wednesday meeting, a single weeknight concert, or one Lord's Day.

Now Scheduling

For current open dates, including remaining 2027 availability, see the Tour page. We are also scheduling 2028 and 2029.
