Paul Rendall
is a Board member and speaker on FirstLove radio. Paul was born in 1951 and raised by loving parents in a liberal Presbyterian church and came to Christ in August of 1976. He wanted to become a pastor from early on in his Christian life. And having much to learn about the Christian life, the Lord patiently worked with him to teach him many things that he needed to learn to become mature enough as a Christian that he could become a pastor. At the age of 51 he finally did became a pastor in July of 2003, and has been a pastor of the Reformed Baptist Church of Tama, Iowa for 21 years now. His object in preaching the word over the years of his ministry has been to preach through whole books of the Bible, and hopes to leave his sermons as sermonic commentaries for people to listen to for years to come.
