Dr.
Price was born in Chicago and grew up in a Christian home. He
joined the Air Force in 1969 and made a commitment to Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord on July 21, 1969 at a crusade organized
by the Billy Graham Association in Biloxi, Mississippi. Three
days later, two men from The Navigators, an organization specializing
in discipleship and leadership development, came by to follow
up on those who made professions of faith at the crusade. Bob
eventually became a staff member with The Navigators after serving
in Vietnam for one year. He then served 23 years in full-time
ministry with The Navigators at the University of Illinois and
in urban ministry in Chicago.
Ordained in 1977 at Twin City Bible Church in Urbana, Illinois,
Dr. Price completed graduate studies while serving as campus
minister with The Navigators. He completed a graduate degree
in Interpersonal Communication while developing urban ministries.
Bob also founded Phoenix Ministries, a not-for-profit enterprise
for housing rehab, job development and evangelism in urban communities.
He has also served as a pastor of a multicultural community
using a household church strategy. In addition, Dr. Price also
serves as the Director of Leadership Development for Christian
Reformed Home Missions. He is married to Shirley, who is a music
teacher in Markham, IL, and has two children and two grandchildren.
The Prices live in Matteson, Illinois.
