A graduate of Texas Christian University, Albert Badge McReynolds spent his
early years in ministry as an evangelist, first with Texas Christian
University's Brite School of the Bible (now Brite Divinity School), then as
a nationally recognized revival speaker. Known to many as "Brother Mac"
McReynolds was induced by health concerns to move in 1940 to the Talihina,
Oklhoma, area, where he founded the Kiamichi Mountains Christian Mission to
evangelize Native Americans and start churches in southeast Oklahoma. In
1949, on property called "Christ's 40 Acres" near Honobia, Oklahoma, he
launched a men's retreat, the Kiamichi Clinic, receiving national notoriety
for its pro-"Restoration Movement" preaching and pro-American prayer amid
the looming threat of a growing global communism. May preachers in the
Christian Churches/Churches off Christ, as well as famouns personalities
like radio commentator Paul Harvey, spoke at the Kiamichi Clinic. As the
director of the mission and retreat, McReynolds influenced many young
people in the region who attended Bible college, many of whom became
revivalists and staunch anti-communists -- among them Billy James Hargis,
Cecile Todd, and Riley Donica.
During his lifetime, McReynolds wrote many articles for the Christian
Standard and had many sermons transcribed and collected. The most
frequently published collection as "Soul Winning and Stewardship Sermons.
