As a 10-year-old sitting in Sunday School, Winn heard the Bible story about the woman who wept and kissed Jesus’ feet. Her humility and worship sparked something in Winn and he realized that the woman knew something he didn’t.
He soon accepted Jesus as his Savior.
Then in high school at a revival held by his home church Winn began to feel the calling of God. “I began to think that God was calling somebody else and I was just feeling the effects of it,” Winn said. “But by the end of the revival I realized that it was me He was calling all along.” That day Winn responded to God’s calling into ministry and he has been faithful ever since.
On June 30, Allen Winn will retire from Butler Baptist Association where he has served as director of missions for the past 10 years.
When asked about his time at Butler Association, Winn said that “it’s been a productive time for me personally. I feel like I have grown. … I feel that the association has grown as well.”
Winn has remained faithful to his calling by making himself available for whatever service God would have him do and by prioritizing his alone time with God.
“I have enjoyed working with everyone,” Winn said. “I have really enjoyed the association.”
Winn holds a bachelor’s degree from Mobile College (now University of Mobile) and master of divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
And he may be retiring but Winn said he “won’t be going anywhere.”
