Dr. Anthony Campolo


Tony Campolo is the founder of EAPE (The Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education), the organization that gave Beyond Borders life back in 1993. Although Beyond Borders is now independent, Tony and EAPE continue to support Beyond Borders in a variety of ways.

One way Tony supports Beyond Borders is by occasionally speaking on our behalf. Tony is a very powerful preacher and popular public speaker. He is booked for speaking engagements around the world often years in advance.  So, it is a tremendous gift to have him available to speak at gatherings that friends of Beyond Borders have organized.

If you would like Tony to speak at your church or some other gathering you organize, please contact us by e-mail. We would be happy to talk to you about what this involves and explore possible dates and times with you.
