Brother Ronnie Tullos was born in Central Louisiana in 1959. Ronnie married
the love of his life, Susan(Goff)Tullos, in 1978. Their first two children, Sean and
Luke were born in Louisiana and Sarah was born in Memphis, Tennessee. Sean
went home to be with the Lord on December 29th, 2003 at the age of 23.
After a turbulent young life, he was born again in 1981. Saved from a life of
drugs and alcohol, Ronnie had a burden for those, who were struggling with the
same things. After several years of working with a ministry called Christians
Sharing Christ lead out of Ball, La., God called Ronnie to step out on faith and
enter into full time ministry.
In 1987, Ronnie and Susan moved their family to Memphis Tennessee, where he
could attend Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. During his time there,
he started the Street Ministry Practical Mission at the college that continues to
go out on the streets of Memphis. One of his favorite things has been to teach
and mentor seminary students throughout the years.
In 1991, with God’s leading, Ronnie incorporated the Ronnie Tullos Evangelistic
Association. The RTEA, Ronnie and the Board of Directors, felt led of God to
have a place in the heart of Memphis, where people, like Ronnie used to be,
could come and experience the love of Jesus. In 1993, with Gods provision, the
Inner-City Outreach Center was opened debt free. Since that time, Miracle
Baptist Church, has been started and planted through the center. Before that,
he started New Song Baptist Church, which was started from a Bible Study he
taught at Claiborne Homes Housing Project. With two Churches planted,
Brother Ronnie has shown not only his love for souls, but also for follow-up.
Since Ronnie was saved in 1981 he has seen over 60,000 people ask Jesus to
save them. All glory goes to Jesus Christ! Combining Evangelistic trips overseas
and at home, with revivals, crusades and street ministry, God has evidenced a
call to evangelism in Ronnie’s life. After 40 years of trying to be faithful to the
call of “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,”
Brother Ronnie continues to preach, teach, mentor and pastor as God gives him
grace and strength.
Loving the Heart of Memphis
