Paige Patterson Celebrating Sixty-Six Years of Ministry

Dr. Patterson was honored for his 66 years in ministry at a dinner in Bonn, Germany, which kicked off the 2025 German Preachers' Conference (read more here!). Three other guests joined the celebration—Dr. Dondi Costin, President of Liberty University; educator Dr. Jürgen von Hagen of the University of Bonn, Germany; and the innovative German entrepreneur Norman Rentrop of Bonn.

Videos memorialized the impact of each of these talented men. Below is the video full of Dr. Patterson's many decades in ministry.

Dr. Patterson began preaching at 16, and he has not stopped yet—with over four decades of leadership in Christian higher education, ministering in more than 135 countries, and with more than 85 publications as author, editor, or contributor under his belt, he is still working for God's Kingdom even in his "retirement!"
