Judge Phil Ginn assumed the role as President of Southern Evangelical Seminary as of April 1, 2021. Judge Ginn is a retired Superior Court Judge, attorney, and businessman. He has been married to his wife, Lynn for almost 42 years. Together they have 4 daughters, 3 sons-in-law and 5 wonderful grandchildren (he has pictures). He holds a B.A. from Appalachian State University, a J.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Doctor of Ministry from Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, NC. After a distinguished career as both a lawyer and a judge, Judge Ginn retired as the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge for the 24th Judicial District in North Carolina. Over the course of his 22 year judicial career, he was privileged to hold court in almost 50% of the county seats in North Carolina. Upon retirement at the end of 2014, using his experience from his 4 decades as an attorney and judge, Judge Ginn purchased a struggling horizontal pump company in Tulsa, Ok. Over the next 3 years through prudent and visionary leadership, he managed to turn the business into one of the largest privately owned horizontal pump companys in the United States. In early 2018, Judge Ginn completed the sale of the company and returned to his beloved mountains of North Carolina. Currently, in addition to his participation in real estate development, he continues to do consulting work, has served as co-counsel on a variety of major legal cases, and is active as both a Mediator and Arbitrator. Through the years, Judge Ginn has remained active with Southern Evangelical Seminary not only because of his friendship and admiration for his mentor, Dr. Norm Geisler, but also because of his strong belief in the mission of the seminary to evangelize our culture through apologetics. For the past two years, Judge Ginn has served as the chairman of the Board of Trustees. With the retirement of prior SES president Dr. Richard Land, Judge Ginn has answered the call to become the new president of Southern Evangelical Seminary which has played such an integral part in his faith development. Judge Ginn began the role as SES President in April 2021. Interestingly, he is the first graduate of SES to assume this role. In his spare time, Judge Ginn remains highly involved with his family. He is also active in the faith community in many varied roles including having been licensed to preach as an Elder in his home church, Perkinsville Baptist Church in Boone, NC.

Jud was born in Northern New York close to where the Vermont and Canadian borders meet. He graduated from Houghton College in 1975 with a B.A. in English/Writing. After graduation he married Jan who had just graduated from Thomas Jefferson University with a BSN in nursing. That next year Jud attended SUNY Binghamton for Southwest Asia/North Africa interdisciplinary studies while Jan started work. In 1978 Jud finished an M.A. in Comparative Politics and Political Theory at Temple University in Philadelphia. In 1979 Jud joined the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 542, and started a four-year apprentice program in the carpenter/millwright trades. In 1986 Jud was working as a Civil Craft Supervisor for Bechtel Power when Operation Mobilization called and asked Jud and Jan to consider joining them as career missionaries. Jud had worked with OM for two years between his junior and senior years of college. After much prayer and counsel, Jud and Jan joined OM in 1987. In 1990 Jud and Jan joined MTW and worked out of the home office until 1995 when they applied for overseas service. In 1998 Jud and Jan moved to Turkey and in 2001 they moved to Belgium. They continued to live in Belgium when Jud became the International Director for Enterprise in 2006. Jan started a ministry to Enterprise women that same year. Jud stepped down as the ID for Enterprise in June 2016. He is presently the CEO of a new mission, the 18.26 Network. The 18.26 Network is linked to MTW and focused on the deployment of a new missions force of men and women doing vocational ministry as part of their normal, secular work. This rapidly growing ministry provides connecting, coaching and caring services for the 18.26 Network members.

Julie grew up a missionary kid in Germany. Her parents were on staff with Cru during the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Romanian Revolution, and the opening of Eastern Europe to the Gospel. Her husband Mike and 4 daughters moved from CA to TX in 2005. In 2007 the Lord gave Julie a vision to start a ministry in their neighborhood of Castle Hills, to get that neighborhood in the Word and on Mission. She began Bible studies for women and men, and took them on mission trips. It was a game changer for that community as they became a mobilized community who sought to know Jesus and move with Him. In 2012, she climbed Kilimanjaro with 50 women from all over the world to bring funding and awareness to the issue of human trafficking. She spent three years pouring her gifts and talents into Time to Revive and ReviveTX. One year ago, the President of East West Ministries recruited her to come and do development for them. It was during the interview process that she identified a tremendous need to pour into women donors and partners of East West. John Maisel, the founder of East West, had discipled and mobilized the men for 25 years, but there was a great need and desire to do the same for the women. She accepted that call and months later, the Lord gave the strategy, name, Scripture and vision for Arise. Julie currently takes teams of women all over the world. She recently returned from the first all-women’s Extreme Team to the Himalayas, where they hiked through the remote parts of the mountain ranges to share the Gospel with people who had never heard the name of Jesus. It was life changing for the entire team of women, and they saw many give their lives to Jesus. She will be taking a team of women to EurAsia in June.
