For nearly half a century, Harold John Ockenga’s name was virtually
synonymous with that of evangelicalism as he voiced its concerns and convictions
and provided leadership for nearly every one of its institutions: serving as founder
and first president of the National Association of Evangelicals
for United Action;
as president of the American Board of the World Evangelical
Fellowship; as president,
co-founder and later Chairman of the Board of Fuller Theological Seminary; as Chairman
of the Board of Christianity Today; as a director of the Christian
Freedom Foundation;
as a member of the board of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association; as editor
of the Evangelical Book Club; as chair of the National
Association of Evangelicals’ International
Commission; and as the founding president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
In addition to these tasks, he found time to write some fifteen books and scores of articles, to produce over one hundred archival boxes of letters, journals, date books, and memorabilia, to produce nearly three thousand manuscript sermons and addresses and to leave a legacy of active ministry around the world.
