Croft Pentz
(1931 - 2008)

Croft Pentz was an Assemblies of God preacher who was known for his snappy sayings, his ministry to the deaf, and his special ironclad belief in the power of gospel tracts. In 1997, when I worked as a reporter for The Record Herald (Waynesboro, Pa.), I had the privilege of interviewing him. We became good friends.

When I came to Mississippi in 2013, I began working as a prison chaplain. One day, while looking around my new office, I saw a gospel tract in the desk drawer. I picked it up. When I turned it over, I saw the author was Croft Pentz. I smiled.

Take a moment and read his story, which I wrote in 1997. It's titled, "Croft Pentz uses the printed page to preach the Gospel: Through his writings, Pentz speaks to millions."
