Description
William Evander Penn bears significance in Baptist history as the first to devote his life to full-time evangelism in Texas. J. M. Carroll stated, "Prior to 1875 there had never been among Texas Baptists any preacher who gave his entire time to evangelistic work." (1) William Evander Penn was born August 11, 1832, near the village of Old Jefferson in Rutherford County, Tennessee. In the fall of 1847, he was converted in a camp meeting held at Bluff Springs, Tennessee. He recalled attending the camp meeting primarily to have a good time with the other young people.
