Paul Vick is a fourth-generation preacher who has the heart of a shepherd and the passion of an evangelist. As the pastor of The Austin Edge in Austin, Texas, Paul knows how important the local church is and truly has a desire to see it thrive.
As an evangelist, Paul's passion to see the Body of Christ flourish has taken him far beyond the walls of his own church to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others all around the world. He has conducted crusades, revival festivals and conferences in over twenty nations on four continents.
Paul has been a life-long student of Scripture and teaches the Bible with keen insight and creativity. Through the teaching ministry of The Austin Edge, he has authored and developed a unique Bible Study curriculum that is now being used by thousands around the world. One of Asia's most prestigious theological training centers, Kerala Christian Bible College and Seminary, recently conferred on Paul a Doctor of Divinity degree to honor this body of work. They are also publishing and distributing all twelve of Paul's Bible Study Commentaries in book form across Asia. Dr. P. V. Alexander, founder of Kerala and winner of India's Nobel Prize - the Nehru Peace Award, personally conferred the degee in India.
One of the major highlights of Paul's success in ministry has been his cutting-edge way of communicating Biblical truths to students. Innovative camps, youth conferences, and a critically acclaimed school assembly program provide him the platform to address multitudes of junior high & high school students annually. Through these outreaches, thousands of teenagers are hearing the Gospel and deciding to follow Jesus.
God has also given Paul an anointing for music ministry that is as strong as his preaching. Immediately after high school Paul traveled extensively as a soloist with the Continental Singers and Orchestra. He went on to receive a music degree in college and became a recording artist for Republic Records. Paul leads worship with great passion, making full use of a powerful singing voice and some thrilling guitar and keyboard technique.
The exciting message of this ministry has been broadcast around the world on radio and television talk shows, and has been captured on scores of tapes, CD's and videos.
Paul is happily married to Deborah and they have seven children.
In a recent message, Paul shared the very heartbeat of the mission of PVM: This is the most exciting hour in history to be alive and serving Jesus. As reports of "a new Jesus movement" rumble across the planet, we have redirected the entire focus of our ministry toward awakening this "New Joshua Generation." Like the original Joshua Generation, this mighty army will leave the wilderness and the tattered ruins of the past to embrace a worldwide spiritual revolution that will WAKE THE NATIONS!
