Dr. George Washington Sheafor was a Baptist evangelist and pastor
who lived during the years that the United States was growing, the
population was moving westward, and new territories and states were
being added. His teaching and preaching ministry spanned
seventy-six years, beginning in 1892 through his death at age 96 in
1968. His pioneer ministry began in Arizona while it was still a
territory. As a young man he worked on a ranch taming wild horses
off the range and preached to some of the ranch hands with whom he
worked. He attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, and
was mentored by Dwight L. Moody, the great evangelist of his day.
He also studied the life and teachings of Andrew Murray and
patterned his life after this great English teacher and preacher.
He began preaching revival meetings in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas. During his pastoral ministry, he served in Comanche and
Brownwood, Texas; Lawton, Oklahoma; and in Lancaster, Texas. Dr.
Sheafor's pastoral ministry changed in 1941 when he became a Bible
teacher at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. His name is
synonymous with the teaching of Bible prophecy. In all of his
teaching and preaching, Dr. Sheafor majored on the wonderful
promises that God has given to every born-again believer. He
presented the joy and the glory to be experienced by every believer
in the Rapture, the Second Coming of Jesus, and the New Heaven and
New Earth. His wealth of knowledge concerning prophecy was
inimitable and he was loved and admired by all who heard him speak,
including many of the professors at Dallas Theological Seminary and
Dr. W.A. Criswell, pastor of First Baptist Church, Dallas for all
of the twenty-three years that Dr. Sheafor taught the class that
now bears his name.
