Jack Deere
Lecturer, Teacher, Pastor, Author — field_542d8190101fc
Jack Deere is a writer and lecturer who speaks throughout the world. He was an assistant professor of Old Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary for more than ten years, until he was fired in 1987 for reversing his stance on the gifts of the Holy Spirit - he had come to believe that gifts such as healing and prophecy are accessible today. This experience became the basis of his bestselling books, Surprised by the Power of the Spirit and Surprised by the Voice of God. Deere then spent four years with John Wimber at the Vineyard Christian fellowship in Anaheim California, and went on to pastor other churches. Jack and his wife Leesa currently live in St. Louis, where he is caring for her as she recovers from strokes. They are the parents of Stephen, Alese, and the late Scott Deere.
