Kay Arthur In the late 1960s a missionary couple in
Mexico suffered medical problems and
returned home to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Little did they know that God had a greater
field of ministry for them. Jack Arthur
became station manager for a Christian
radio station, and Kay Arthur started a Bible
study for teenagers in their living room. By
1970 youth were meeting in a barn they
had cleaned out and patched up themselves.
Soon adults were coming too.
The first women’s Bible study class began, and the word spread. Night classes
started. Soon Kay was traveling to Atlanta, Georgia, every week to teach
nearly 1,800 adults. Knowing she and Jack would not be able to travel every
week, Kay wanted to teach others to study inductively and so began
writing
Precept Upon Precept courses.
Jack left his radio career and became president and leader of this flourishing
new organization. Today Precept Ministries International (www.precept.org)
reaches into 150 countries with studies in 70 languages for children, teens,
and adults.
Through the many ministries of Precept—including the daily radio and
television program “Precepts for Life,” Kay Arthur had touched millions of
lives. A well-known conference speaker and author, Kay has a unique ability
to reach people in an exciting, effective way—teaching them how to discover
truth for themselves so truth can change their lives and equip them to be
used to advance God’s kingdom.
