Richard Hislop is married to his beautiful wife Lindsey, and lives in Virginia along with their three children. Richard is an Evangelist with a strong gifting and calling from God for evangelism, and equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. His has the call of God on his life to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and unreached in America, and to the unreached people groups and nations of the earth. Richard is also the founder and president of Harvest the Nations, his evangelistic ministry. His life's passion and calling is to be used by God as an evangelist to see a great end times harvest for Jesus Christ, to see the fulfillment of “The Great Commission”, through the preaching of the full gospel, along with a demonstration of the Spirit and power. Richard is called as an evangelist to also equip the saints for the work of ministry and The Great Commission, in order for the body of Christ to mature into the fullness and stature of Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus is using Richard to bring spiritual renewal, restoration, and maturity to the body of Christ as He is making a pure and spotless bride ready for a great end time harvest of souls, and the second coming return of Jesus Christ.

Richard was born and raised in a Godly home with parents who always pointed him to Jesus and the Word of God the Bible. He received Jesus as his Lord and savior at a very young age and had the blessing of growing up in a family that loves the Lord Jesus dearly. When he was in his church youth group years, God radically touched Richards life and he knew that he had the calling from God to be an evangelist. Richard served on a missions trip through his church as well to Peru to go with the gospel of Jesus. In this process God had used evangelist Reinhard Bonnke through his videos on TV, as well as his books to deeply touch Richards heart and the calling as an evangelist on his life! Reinhard had become one of Richard's life long hero's in the faith, as Richard knew he carried the call of evangelism to preach the gospel of Jesus as well and was having so much success in a great harvest for Jesus! This so deeply touched Richard's heart, and he knew it was the work of the Holy Spirit on his life. 

Richard furthered his education at Lee University, a christian university in Cleveland TN, and received his B.A. degree. After which Richard met and married his wife Lindsey, and they now today they have three wonderful children. Richard and Lindsey were involved with their local church ministry through the years to 2012 as Richard continued to also work in the market place with his job.

In May 2012 their local Church in Fredericksburg, VA helped host the event Awaken The Dawn & The Call 2012, where Richard finally got to meet his life long hero Reinhard Bonnke in person. Richard was so deeply impacted by God and the Holy Spirit as Reinhard preached in person to them and called them and this generation forth to be preachers of the gospel and to become evangelists for Jesus! Richard responded to this calling again on his life as Reinhard prayed over them, blessed them, and commissioned them all forth in a prayer as well of blessing and commissioning! Richard's heart and life were so deeply marked by this and his calling in Jesus as an evangelist, and this time with Reinhard Bonnke. Richard began to pursuing the Lord on how this calling would continue to play out and it's timing. The Holy Spirit spoke to Richard very powerfully at this event as He did to Reinhard that same year that "America Shall Be Saved", as well as the nations of the world, and that God would use Richard as well to do it!

-Man the answer is "Yes!" 

-When I was talking to Reinhard; 

When I was talking to Reinhard that evening after I had gotten that picture with him, He was signing my two books for me of his Living a Life of Fire, and Evangelism by Fire. I told Reinhard as I looked at him and he at me, that I was going to go and do the work, just like he said to us: "America shall be saved!" Reinhard looked at me with that smile and fiery excitement and agreement in his eyes, saying, "Amen! Bless you!" He nodded his head in agreement as he said this, just as you can imagine him doing. He blessed me as we talked and signed my Evangelism by Fire and Living a Life of Fire books. He told me it was nice to meet me. The time and two services with Reinhard at that conference marked me forever.

Thanks to my pastor, who was the leader of that conference and knew I had this call of an evangelist on my life, we had been praying for months that the Lord would impart the mantle of evangelism that Reinhard carried to us. And it's exactly what happened. When Reinhard arrived in his car with Andrew Colby, my pastor Scott took me to greet Reinhard and get that picture with him. We had just had the service where he called all who were called to be evangelists forward and commissioned us for the work, praying the mantle he also carried of Jesus upon us, charging us in the name of the Lord Jesus. It's a moment the Holy Spirit came upon me, and one I will never forget. That was 2012, and now, seeing this coming about in great measure is truly a work of the Lord. Now, seeing all the Lord has done with Reinhard and Daniel through and with you, and how the Holy Spirit connected us both so divinely, is truly a work of the Holy Spirit! Like Reinhard said, our books of Acts are being written in Him! I rejoice!

Lindsey told me you said, as you had in the past told me, that you would come and help me with the stadium ! My heart sings with great joy! I'm rejoicing this morning in Him, in His faithfulness, His voice, and His answer to us! Wow, Tyrelle, my dear sister in Jesus, look at all He has done and is doing! Wow! The visions the Lord gave us are being fulfilled!
