Rich Tozour (N/A–) is an American preacher and evangelist known for his extensive ministry within evangelical Christian circles, particularly as the leader of Tozour Evangelistic Ministries. Born in southern New Jersey, he grew up in a small town and trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior on February 12, 1977, at age ten, led to faith by his father, Richard Tozour Sr., who later became a faithful witness at Home Depot in Pensacola, Florida. Rich surrendered to full-time ministry at 15, despite an initial fear of public speaking, and pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Bible from Pensacola Christian College (PCC), graduating in 1989. There, he met Angela Wessberg, daughter of evangelists Lars and Phyllis Wessberg, whom he married in 1993. The couple has three daughters—Briana, Heather, and a third unnamed in public records—all born in Kansas City, Missouri. Tozour’s preaching career began with travels as a PCC college representative from 1989 to 1992, visiting over 1,000 churches and schools across 40 states and 30 countries, followed by a year teaching at Eagle Heights Christian School in Kansas City in 1993–1994. Ordained by Eagle Heights Baptist Church on January 30, 1994, he launched into full-time evangelism in June of that year, based out of Kansas City, where he and his family live in a 43-foot fifth-wheel trailer. His ministry focuses on local church revivals, preaching expository sermons on topics like prayer, sanctification, and biblical priorities, with recordings available on platforms like SermonAudio. Rich has preached at venues such as Ambassador Baptist College, Pensacola Christian College, and Emmanuel Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, often incorporating history into his illustrations. He continues to travel with Angela and their daughters, who assist in children’s programs, leaving a legacy of practical, gospel-centered preaching across America.

DAN 1:1

In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the story of Daniel from the Bible. He describes Daniel as an exception among the elite youth of his time. Daniel is given a privileged position in the king's palace, but faces a personal trial when he is offered the king's meat and wine, which goes against his beliefs. The preacher emphasizes the importance of taking a stand and saying no to things that go against God's teachings, using the example of Daniel's refusal to consume alcohol.
