Born in Camden, Arkansas in 1934, Sam Cathey was the last of 13 children. At the age of 17, he was called to pastor his first church, the newly-established Grace Baptist Mission near Camden. He served as pastor of churches in Arkansas, Michigan, and Oklahoma before being called into vocational evangelism in 1967. His strong, direct preaching became his hallmark, and his messages on Spiritual Warfare are unsurpassed in their practical, helpful application of a subject typically overlooked by modern pastors. 'Papa Sam' went to be with the Lord on March 8, 2016.
