Meet Rick: Once a promising college football coach, Rick Gage walked away from coaching football and surrendered his life to full-time evangelistic ministry. He has always had a passion for small communities which makes him a perfect fit for Pataskala and the surrounding communities. Since Gage founded GO TELL Crusades in 1989, he has visited more than 500 small-town venues nationally, helping about 250,000 people reconnect with Christianity.
Rick says there are a lot of similarities between coaching and ministry. Just as a coach is always striving to get the most out of his players by constantly challenging and motivating them, in ministry you’re always wanting God’s best in peoples’ lives and doing everything you can to inspire them to be great for God.
His campaigns often attract well-know individuals. College football coaches Bobby Bowden and Mark Richt, and Hall of Famer and former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka have endorsed his ministry.
In addition to Rick, his close friend and evangelist, Rick Stanley, will be speaking Monday night at 7:00PM. Rick is the step-brother of Elvis Presley. They both will be conducting assemblies in local high schools and middle schools on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
