At the close of a busy day as a youth pastor and seminary student, Bob spent time reading and reflecting on the Bible’s longest chapter.  Since that late evening in 1979, Psalm 119 has been a favorite passage, especially vs. 97 – “Oh, how I love your law!  I meditate on it all day long.”

Like nearly all the other 176 verses of this Psalm, this verse contains a reference to God’s Word.  Like a drumbeat the message reverberates – THE VALUE OF GOD’S WORD.  When we give the Bible its proper value, our lives begin to reflect stability (vs. 98), insight (vs. 99), and maturity (vs. 100). 

Wherever he is and whatever the task may be, Bob’s prayer is that the Word permeates his life and the lives of others.

Bob has been married to Charlene for 29 years.  His wife is a 2^nd grade teacher in the Marysville, OH schools.  The Flints have two children, Eric and Charissa.  Eric and his wife, Ashley, have Bob and Charlene’s only grandchild, Emma Grace.  Emma is two years old, and Grandpa believes she’s the prettiest and smartest little girl in the world.  Her daddy is employed by Ontario Systems, Berlin, OH.  Charissa is in her final year of studying Early Childhood Education at Mount Vernon Nazarene University.  When she graduates, she will join the “MVNU Graduate Club” that Dad, Mom, and brother belong to.  Charissa is engaged to Jonathan Rankin, and a July 18, 2008 wedding is being planned.

Dr. Paul Whiteford, Senior Pastor, Church of the Nazarene, Marysville, Ohio.

"Rarely does one find in a revival preacher the passion of an evangelist, the heart of a pastor, and the insight of a scholar. Rev. Bob Flint brings these gifts, graces, and more to the table. It is evident in his preaching, but even more in his presence. His love for God and people of all ages shines through every message, and every moment! It is a privelage to consider him my friend and to recommend him to you as an evangelist/revivalist/teacher for any "special meetings" setting."

Rev. Charles A Nutt, President, Sebring Interdenominational Holiness Camp Meeting

"I highly recommend Rev. Bob Flint. In more than one setting we've worked together in revival emphasis. Rev. Flint is a faithful expositor of the Word. You'll feel very comfortable with his pulpit presence. What I appreciate the most about Rev. Flint is his friendship. He comes to the pulpit with a clear message tempered by a compassionate pastor's heart. Give him a call and work out a revival date. You'll be glad you did!"
