Pastor Ben Pruitt

Bro. Ben Pruitt was elected as Pastor at Word of Life Tabernacle in June, 2020. Originally from Nevada, Missouri, he was raised in a pastor’s home, and has been involved in ministry his entire life. At the age of 12, Bro. Ben felt the call to the ministry and began preaching in his local church. By the time he was 18 years old he had evangelized and assisted in several churches, including in Mountain Home, Arkansas and Texarkana, Texas. He met his wife, Brittany, while ministering at a church in Alton, Missouri. God blessed their union with three wonderful children: Peter, born in 2007, Esther, born in 2009 and and Melody, born in 2013.

In 2006, Bro. Ben was asked to Pastor Fellowship Tabernacle near West Plains, Missouri, after several fruitful years, he felt to leave there and attend Living Word Tabernacle in Gibson, Missouri. The family remained at Living Word Tabernacle for nearly a decade, and he worked as the assistant pastor with Pastor Bill Ivy, as well as youth pastor and evangelist, while working full time as a land title examiner.

During this time he had an opportunity to travel to foreign lands and preach the Gospel, including Togo and Benin, in West Africa, and the Philippine islands. Since he was elected pastor of Word of Life Tabernacle, he has continued to travel overseas, introducing the Message and strengthening the faith of believers in West Africa and Egypt.

His greatest joy is to see the local church grow spiritually as a body and to promote fellowship among all those who hold this Message dear to their hearts.
