PICTURED LEFT TO RIGHT | JOHN LINDSEY | BRUCE WHITEHEAD | In 2016, John Lindsey completed a quarter of a century of Chaplin and Chaplin leadership services. He began with Marketplace Ministries on June 1, 1991. Lindsey had begun a church, Living Vine Baptist Church in DeQueen, Arkansas, where he was a pastor when a man named Don Smith visited him at church one Sunday. Smith told him about the need for a Chaplin down the road at the Pilgrim's Pride Plant. A few days later, Lindsey was Chaplin and a pastor, serving in both capacities for the next eight years. It was then that Lindsey began his tour of duty with Marketplace, moving to Amarillo to be the West Texas Division Director. After two years there, he was off to Virginia where he was the Division Director for the Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky Divisions. In 2007, the ministry moved him back to Arkansas where he was the Division Director for Arkansas and Louisiana. Lindsey has probably moved more often and to more places, than any other Marketplace employee. In each new location, he saw meaningful ministry and God's hand at work. Today he is an Area Team Leader for Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. Lindsey has been with TSD for over a decade. TSD gratefully acknowledges how blessed and honored is to have John Lindsey as our Chaplin.
