History:
In the summer of 2001, God laid a burden upon the heart of Dr. Aaron Dawson
to begin an equipping ministry to meet the “greatest need” of the church. It
was from that point on that Aaron began to search for what that need was. A
period of nearly six years passed before Aaron realized that one of his own
shortcomings was the answer–personal evangelism. In 2006, during a
conversation with his brother-in-law Jeremy Cox, Aaron realized that God was
bringing them together to work as a team. As time has passed the talents and
abilities of each have been challenged, stretched, and enhanced in pursuit of
God’s will for 29:11 Ministries.
Aaron Dawson is the son of Steve and Sandy Dawson. He was raised in the
ministry as his parents served in their church and Christian school. He
graduated from Queenstown Christian Academy in 1998. Aaron was then off to
the Ministry Training Institute to complete two years of his bachelor’s
degree. He finished it through Andersonville Theological Seminary. He served
as pastor at Ebenezer Free Will Baptist Church in Falkville, Alabama. Aaron
fulfills the roles of lead speaker, apologetics coordinator, and writer.
Aaron Dawson currently serves as the Pastor of Souls Harbor Church in Vinemont, Alabama. He began his career with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office in 2012 as a night shift Line Officer. Since that time he has served as a Line Officer, Dispatcher, Corporal, Sergeant and Warden. Since 2014, Aaron has been a founding member of the Alabama Jail Training Academy. Prior to beginning his career in Corrections, Aaron served in the educational field as a Teacher, Coach, and Principal. He also has been pastoring since 2008. Aaron has a Bachelor’s Degree in Education a Master’s Degree in Counseling, and a Ph.D in Communication and Leadership. He is married to his wife of 19 years and together they have four sons.
