He was reared in Albuquerque, New Mexico, son of a prominent Baptist Pastor and graduated from Baylor University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He pastored churches and ministered to street gangs in New York City for 12 years.
Larry is an accomplished violinist, a prolific writer, poet and composer, and frequently speaks on radio and television. Many of his poems have been published on posters.
His testimony of numerous eye surgeries, including corneal transplants in both eyes, is an inspiration to all who may face a crisis in life.
The First Baptist Church of Dallas is the base of operation for this worldwide ministry.
Dr. Walker and his wife Carmen, who recently retired as the Office Receptionist at First Baptist, live in Dallas. They have four grown children and five grandchildren. When at home, he teaches a Bible Study class and plays in the Sanctuary Orchestra. Larry’s favorite motto is:
“God, help me to be intensely spiritual, yet perfectly natural!”
April has been a challenging time. On April 10, I had a very delicate fifth corneal transplant in my right eye. A new technique was used in the procedure which included, in my doctor's words, "some technical surgical challenges". Praise the Lord, the graft has "taken" and daily I am seeing an increase in vision and the prognosis is very favorable to a successful conclusion. Thanks to so many who have been praying in my behalf. God is good!
During a 30 day period in March, I preached on four continents.
Dear Prayer Partners,
There are many places around the world where believers must face great persecution. Acts 8:1 tells us that the early church had to confront it amd that fact is still true today.
The first week of February, I was in the midst of the tension where faithful followers of The Way have to take a stand for their convictions that may mean they will be ostracised or even physically endangered. My heart was sobered and challenged by their unwavering commitment to the Lord.
Hello Prayer Partners,
The hot spot among tourists from the United States right now is Costa Rica. The main appeal is real estate --- ocean view condos or unimproved property for building private bungalows.
It is also a popular place for vacationing. The major attractions include rain forests with the world famous canopies (zip lines), the spectacular waterfalls, active volcanoes surrounding the rich fertile valleys of banana and coffee plantations, tropical flowers, exotic birds in abundance, and magnificent beaches.
