Kyle Byrd

Founder & Apostolic Head

Kyle is the Founding/Apostolic Head of Front Line Ministries.  In pursuit of a career in professional baseball, Kyle came to a crossroads in his life in 1985 ... professional sports or ministry.  Sensing the Lord's clear direction to sell out to his calling to ministry, he stepped off of the playing field and into the harvest field.  He was both licensed (1980) and ordained (1988) in into the Gospel ministry by his home church ... First Baptist Church in Kerens, TX.  Prior to moving to Burnet, he and his family lived in Sugar Land, TX.  Since 1989, Kyle has traveled the United States and the world preaching the Gospel to countless students and churches.  Through Front Line Ministries, Inc. ... the ministry organization that he founded in November of 1989 ... it is estimated that Kyle has ministered to over 4 million people in 45 of the 50 United States and 17 foreign countries.
 
Kyle and his wife, Robin, moved to Burnet in 2004.  They have 2 daughters, Jennifer and Kyla, both of whom are now married and live in the Houston area ... and 1 son, Brandon, who is married and lives with his family in Burnet.  Kyle, Robin, and their family have committed their lives to establishing this ministry in the Texas Hill Country.  By the power of Holy Spirit, and through the vision and passion the Lord has placed in Kyle's heart to reach, teach, equip and send people, the Gospel continues to advance across the country and around the world through the efforts of Front Line Ministries!
