Allen J. Huth

Founder and President Allen J. Huth started reading the Bible at age 15, after God saved his life physically and spiritually in a tragic car accident. That night, God led him to His Word, a Bible on his bedroom bookshelf. Allen has been a daily Bible reader for over 50 years. The practice of daily Bible reading has withstood the rigors of high school, college, raising a family, working in government, non-profit organizations, and business.

Allen worked on the staff of the Colorado state legislature, was Vice President of the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry and was a partner in a business consulting firm, before starting the Ezra Project in 2002.

Since 1980, Allen has been an active volunteer in The Gideons International. He served for nine years on the Executive Committee; three years as International President, three years as International Vice President, and three years as International Treasurer. He also served six years on the International Cabinet as a USA Zone Trustee and four years on the International Extension Committee overseeing the activities of Gideons in 19 countries throughout Asia and the South Pacific. Allen has visited over 50 countries and had speaking engagements on every continent.

He married his high school sweetheart, Terry, over 48 years ago. They have three adult children and five grandchildren, and reside in Parker, Colorado.
