The National Association of United Methodist Evangelists annually honor two evangelists who have served the work of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully, skillfully, and with creative fruitfulness. The name “Philip Award” was selected in honor of the EVANGELIST PHILIP in Acts 8:4-10 and 21:8.
The “Philip Award” recipients are elected annually by secret ballot by the members of the National Association of United Methodist Evangelists.
The Philip Awards are presented at the association’s annual meeting each year, and those honored are pictures here with brief citations of their service to Christ and his church.
