Jack C. Bales
Co-Host of Three Men for Thee
I came to Christ at the age of 11. At 16, I felt called to go into some kind of Christian Ministry. As a result of this, I was given the opportunity to preach at various churches & youth meetings around the state of Florida where I was living at the time. After graduating High School, I worked for a few years at various jobs to earn money to go to college. I chose Free Will Baptist Bible College (now Welch College) to do my undergraduate studies while also taking classes at Belmont University and Fort Wayne Bible College. I graduated in 1978 with a B.S. degree while having majored in Bible & Elementary Education. For the next 37 years, I would work in the Insurance Industry in various roles in the Underwriting, Marketing, Sales & Claim departments all the while being involved with the ministry of teaching & sometimes filling in for vacationing pastors.
In the middle 2000’s, after a series of revival meetings, I felt led to begin graduate studies at Trinity Theological Seminary concentrating on Christian Apologetics. I finished my studies in June of 2011.
From 1975 until now, I began building a theological library which now consists of almost 1000 volumes. I completed a book entitled “Thy Kingdom Come” in 2002 which remains unpublished. I am currently rewriting some chapters and hope to publish it sometime in 2019.
My hobbies are fishing, camping, target shooting, flying model airplanes & performing Magic (Illusion) shows. I have been married to America Bales for 45 years. We have one daughter and one grandson.

While incarcerated, Marzi endured months of mental and physical hardships, including intense interrogation. She was sentenced to death by hanging simply for being a Christian.
Finally, under pressure from human rights and Christian organizations, the Iranian government released Marzi, and she emigrated to the United States where she became an American citizen.
