About Perry Webb

As a teenager, Perry committed his life to following Jesus at a Youth For Christ rally the summer of 1962 at Winona Lake, Indiana. After high school, He headed west to run track for Westmont College. College chapels, prayer meetings, involvement with Campus Crusade for Christ (now CRU), and the Navigators, and attending Grace Bible Church in Santa Barbara encouraged his spiritual growth as a new believer.

After graduating from Westmont in 1968, he married Sue Evans of Los Gatos, California. They then moved to Texas where Perry enrolled at Dallas Theological Seminary. While at Dallas, they attended Irving Bible Church pastored by Chuck Swindoll. Perry and Sue were often privileged to babysit the Swindoll’s four children, and enjoyed several late night discussions with them about marriage and parenting.
