Dr. Paul Whisnant
Dr. Paul Whisnant has been serving as your Missionary in Belize since 1990 and oversees our Ministries and network of 54 Belizean Churches in Belize.
While on a short-term mission trip to Belize in 1989, Paul was called by God to full-time missions. Five months later, as a 19 year old teenager, he withdrew from college, packed a few items in a backpack and bought a one-way plane ticket to Belize, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
He arrived with only $50 in his pocket and lived in a grass hut made of leaves and sticks, in a remote jungle village, without electricity nor running water. The locals taught him how to survive by eating iguanas and taking baths in the jungle river with crocodiles nearby.
The mission he started in that jungle hut in 1990 is now International Servants, one of the largest evangelical missions in Belize.
Family
Dr. Paul Whisnant is married to our Belize Medical Director, Amanda Whisnant, CPNP, and has 2 children.
Dr. Paul, and his wife, Amanda, were born in the United States and are dual citizens of both the United States and Belize.
Public Speaking
Dr. Paul Whisnant's many years living in the jungle as your missionary in Belize produced a wealth of fascinating stories that has led him to speak in the US, Africa and Asia, inspiring others to make a difference with their lives.
Whether he's speaking to 600 teens at the Smokey Mountain Youth Conference in Tennessee, 200 business leaders at the HQ for Chick-Fil-A in Atlanta, Georgia, 700 Pastors in Africa, 100 of our mission trip volunteers in Belize, or in the Chapel at the 20,000 member Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas, it's his humor and commitment that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but his passion for missions that you'll remember the most.
