Carl Taylor gave his heart and life to the Lord 43 years ago and was called into the ministry at the early age of 15. He was a great man of God who pastored many churches across Texas and Oklahoma, evangelized worldwide and served on numerous committees.

Throughout his life and ministry, he enriched the lives of countless people, and had a burning desire to reach lost souls and lead them to receive Christ. Carl was a loving and compassionate husband, a wonderful father, "One Fine Papa" and a friend like no other. He lived life to the fullest and loved to travel, but most of all he cherished the time he was able to spend with his family. Carl influenced the lives of others through his worldwide radio ministry called "Life's Challenge," was a business partner of National Surplus Supply and pastor of Living Word Ministries. No words can begin to describe the impact he had on others throughout his lifetime.

Carl went to be with the Lord at age 58, on April 20, 2010.
