Josh FinkleaJosh Finklea 

Josh Finklea's story is very simple. God took a screwed up kid and turned him into a man who is used by Him. Josh's life had a rough start when he was born deaf and his father left. Surgery later restored his hearing but Josh chose to listen to the world. As a result, Josh hit rock bottom at the age of 17 when he committed a felony offense. It was after this that Josh wept and prayed to an "unknown" God.

That night he heard the voice of God instead of the world. Josh found love and purpose through Jesus Christ and now takes that message to the world. He shares this message of love with thousands every year at conferences, festivals, schools and churches. In addition, Josh pastors a church and often finds himself walking the streets searching for people to minister to.

Josh and his wife, Krista, and four children, Clay, Mackenzie, Tate and Abbey live in Quincy, Illinois.
