Mary Padgett has
served in some capacity in the church all of her life.
She holds a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Christian
Ministry from the Liberty Theological Seminary and was
ordained in 1992 by Rev. John Osteen. He was her
mentor and pastor for thirty-two years. Mary Padgett now attends
Bethany Fellowship Church in Kingwood, TX, which is under the leadership of
Pastors Richard and Mary Lee.
Mary's passion
in life is serving the Lord Jesus Christ and
sharing His gospel with the world. She
has a burden for the lost and compassion for the
believers. Her desire is to share a word that will
edify, exhort, and comfort those in need. She is President/Director
of Mary Padgett Ministries, Inc., a non-profit
organization that was founded in November of 1993.
She also works full time as the Data Manager for World
Gospel Outreach, a missions organization, which
ministers to the abandoned children of Honduras,
Central America.
She has ministered
in prisons, street ministry, short-term foreign
missions, and retreats and meetings. Much of her
devotional content has come from the study materials
that she developed while teaching a bi-monthly Bible
study in her home and also a weekly meeting
at the Best Western Hotel for a total of thirteen years. Mary
began sharing "A Word In Due Season" on
January 2, 1999 with a total of six family
members and friends. Since its humble
beginnings, this ministry has grown and is now being
received around the world and is also posted on
several other web sites.
"Everyone
comes to a place in their life where they need to
know that someone cares. Each devotional is
sent out with a personal prayer for you. We
trust that God will speak to you through these
writings and hope that you can feel our heart beat and
recognize that we really do sincerely care for you.
Thank you for
allowing us the awesome privilege of sharing with you"
