Evangelist for Isaac Ministries

I launched Isaac Ministries 1997. The name Isaac means "laughter." Sarah and Abraham laughed at the thought of having a child at their age. I believe humor can open a guarded heart in a way nothing else can. For 13 years I was a full-time evangelist, and even when I pastored a church again I continued to travel and preach as much as I could without neglecting my pastoral responsibilities.

In January of 2022, I relaunched Isaac Ministries with a new board and a more focused purpose… to help Christians and Christian communities discover the joy of knowing and living for Jesus. I've been able to lead thousands to Christ, been a part of incredible youth events, taught in colleges and seminaries, done stand-up concerts, witnessed miracles of Churches coming alive, and helped faith communities from all kinds of traditions rediscover a passion to reach young adults. I've had the opportunity to put out resources for ministry and been a part of missions and ministries all over the world.

Susannah Pittman is our Director of Discipleship, leading the transformative “To Grow” initiative. This ministry is dedicated to reshaping the spiritual landscape of local churches by equipping congregations with training, resources, and ongoing support to foster vibrant cultures of discipleship. Susannah’s passion for nurturing spiritual growth and building Christ-centered relationships will inspire and empower churches to deepen their faith and connection with one another.
Susannah brings 18 years of pastoral experience from churches in Alabama and North Carolina, with a focus on Adult Spiritual Formation and Congregational Care. She holds degrees from Mary Baldwin University, Candler School of Theology at Emory University, and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Wake Forest University. An ordained Elder in the South Carolina Conference of the Global Methodist Church, Susannah resides in Greenville, SC, with her husband, Lonnie, Senior Pastor at Buncombe Street Methodist Church, and their teenage son, Preston.

Cory Boyte is the Director of Missional Discipleship for our innovative “ToGo” initiative. ToGo integrates spiritual growth with community service, empowering young adult volunteers to serve meaningfully while deepening their faith through worship, prayer, and Bible study. This program will engage volunteers in impactful local mission projects, fostering transformative experiences and connecting them with local faith communities—especially those not yet affiliated with a church.
Cory brings a dynamic background to this role, including his work with Lillie’s Friends, a nonprofit he and his wife founded to support families with children facing serious illnesses. With a career in banking, a lifetime of service to the local church, and extensive experience with Samaritan’s Purse, Cory is uniquely equipped to lead ToGo with vision and heart.
