Addison Tweedy
Addison Tweedy is a missionary with Every Nation Ministries, a ministry dedicated to making disciples by starting churches and campus ministries in every nation of the world. In his current role, he travels as a speaker with Dr. Rice Broocks (co-founder of Every Nation and author of God’s Not Dead) presenting the evidence for God on college campuses around the world.
He began in ministry by starting the campus outreach to Florida State University in 1995 with a simultaneous church plant and helped launch a new outreach to Florida A&M University in the fall of 2001. From there, he ministered on dozens of other campuses around the country.
In addition to the U.S., he has helped pioneer new outreaches in Poland, Peru, South Africa, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Brazil, and Colombia. As a comedian, Tweedy performed, wrote, and co-produced his debut comic album “Out of My Mind.” He also wrote, performed and produced a live stand up comedy DVD “Addison Tweedy Live.” Before moving overseas, he served as the Southeast Regional Director for Victory Clubs of America and has spoken nationally and internationally to tens of thousands of students on high school and college campuses about the importance of developing good character.
During his presentation, he weaves humor into an inspirational message that entertains and educates students. Tweedy has been a featured guest on several radio programs to discuss his work with young people and to perform live comedy. He has also performed during concerts, rallies, conferences and major conventions across the U.S.
Tweedy attended Florida State University and earned a bachelor’s degree in business, with an emphasis in hospitality administration. He also earned, with high distinction, a masters degree in Christian Apologetics from Liberty University. Tweedy served eight years in the United States Navy Reserve during which time he received the National Defense service medal, a Flag Officer Letter of Commendation and the Meritorious Service Ribbon. He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his beautiful wife, Lisa, and their four kids; Ariston, Silas, Anastasia and Gloriana.
Can the Bible be trusted? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Why is there evil in the world? These were some of the many questions I had as a junior in college. I struggled to know if God was real until I met someone who validated and answered my doubts and questions. He was the first Christian I met that was prepared to give me a reason for the hope that was in him. This relationship radically transformed my life and established me in the Christian faith.
Lisa had a similar experience and discovered that the Christian community she surrounded herself with provided the right environment in which to grow her new faith. She began to reach out to her peers and lead small groups in her dorm.
Statistically, people lose their faith in college, however, we both became followers of Jesus during that time. Because of that, we highly value campus ministry. We believe God has called us to make disciples of all nations and that college students are the greatest mission field and mission force to fulfill the great commission.
