About SNEM
|
Born February 5‚ 1967 in Moberly‚ Missouri‚ Scott was always involved in sports as a boy‚ especially baseball. His senior year of High School‚ 1985‚ he led the state of New Mexico pitchers in strikeouts and broke his High Schools' nineteen-year single season record for strikeouts. This record still stands today.
In college he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior at the age of 19. After playing four years of collegiate baseball he toured with a Christian Sports Ministry called "Athletes In Action" in the summer of 1989. During this tour‚ while his team was playing exhibition games in Honduras‚ he signed a professional baseball contract with the Detroit Tigers. After a successful rookie year of minor league baseball‚ Scott attended his first Professional Spring Training the following spring of 1990. Due to an injury to his pitching shoulder‚ Scott was released from his contract. Several months later‚ God called him to preach‚ specifically to do the work of an evangelist. Though retired from baseball for many years the former professional baseball career is a unique aspect of Scott Nute's ministry that God uses to capture the attention of people‚ especially non-Christians and youth. So‚ the professional baseball background has become an important part of the publicity and advertising for events Scott Nute speaks at‚ as some people are more likely to go and hear a former professional athlete speak.
As a communicator of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Scott has three target groups of people that his heart is burdened to speak to. His goals as a public communicator of the Gospel are first‚ to clearly and concisely communicate the Gospel and provide the listeners with the opportunity to respond to the Gospel by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Second‚ to encourage‚ lift up and exhort Christians to be and do all that God desires for us to be and do. Scott provides Christians with the opportunity to make a fresh‚ full rededication of their life to knowing‚ loving and serving the Lord and others. Third‚ to offer soothing‚ encouraging words of love and hope to those who have emotional wounds and brokenness in their life‚ offering next steps to wholeness to the listeners…see Family Wholeness Conferences.

In 1995 Scott Nute Ministries was formed. Scott has traveled nearly half a million miles during international trips to numerous countries. He has preached the Gospel through areawide and single church events in soccer fields, auditoriums, gymnasiums, churches, pastors conferences, public school assemblies, etc. To this point thousands of people young and old have made personal life changing commitments to Jesus Christ through Scott Nute Ministries.
Evangelist Scott Nute is an ordained Southern Baptist Minister and is endorsed by the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention as an itinerant speaker. However‚ Scott's ministry focus and desire is to bring the Body of Christ together interdenominationally‚ uniting Christians and churches to work side-by-side in areawide and local church outreach events.
