Leadership

Dr. Mike Van Horn

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE WALLACE LEGACY FOUNDATION

Dr. Van Horn served in the United States Air Force from 1980-84. After his enlistment, he was self-employed in the residential construction business for thirteen years before answering the call to be a Gospel Preacher. He completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Religious Education in 2010 and earned a Master’s Degree in Religious Education in 2011. Dr. Van Horn went on to earn a Doctorate Degree in Religious Education from the Rock of Ages College of Biblical Studies and Theological Seminary. 

He was called into full-time ministry in February of 1999, ordained as a preacher of the Gospel, and sent out of the Mansfield Baptist Temple in Mansfield, Ohio. After answering the call to preach, he joined the Rock of Ages Prison Ministry on May 22, 1999, as a full-time missionary. He faithfully served in many areas of the Rock of Ages for 21.5 years.

After raising his support and serving on the Rock of Ages Revival Team, he answered the call to reach the troubled youth of America; this led him to become a part of the Juvenile Department of the Rock of Ages. Dr. Van Horn served on the Juvenile Team until 2009 when the LORD called him to the International Division. During his tenure on the International Team, Dr. Van Horn recognized the need to help empower national men of God as they endeavored to reach the lost in their own countries. He developed the Partnership Program and began to train Rock of Ages men to gain national partners to serve in the field. This program freed the missionaries to work in other countries and fulfill their USA duties. In addition, he served as a Rock of Ages Foreign Field Representative until God redirected him to develop this new partnership ministry. With a passion for assisting men of God worldwide, on December 15, 2020, Dr. Van Horn officially founded the Wallace Legacy Foundation. He currently serves as President and Executive Director.

The Wallace Legacy Foundation Commemorates the Life and Legacy of Dr. Tom Wallace

Dr. Tom Wallace has been in the Gospel ministry for more than seventy years. Dr. Wallace pastored three of the greatest soul-winning churches in America; Baptist Bible Church in Elkton, Maryland, 1954-1971; Beth Haven Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, 1971-1986; and the Franklin Road Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, from September 1, 1991-January, 2000.

Because of his faithfulness, I could not think of another man of God to honor than Dr. Tom Wallace. So henceforth, The Wallace Legacy Foundation was founded to keep his legacy alive while creating an avenue to connect men with money and men with ministries to reach billions of souls with the Gospel message worldwide. 



Dr. Wallace's love for the LORD and the souls of men is electrifying! Since he retired from the Franklin Road Baptist Church, he has actively served as an author, evangelist, and a man after God's own heart. His love for the souls of men drives him to tell the Gospel message to almost everyone he meets!
