Gene “Bubba’ Wright
I attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on a football scholarship. It was there that I met my wife, Robin. After dating two weeks, I proposed, and we have been married now for 44 years. We have six children, three boys and three girls. We have three precious daughter-in-laws, two son-in-laws, seven awesome grandsons and five beautiful granddaughters! I have served in 3 churches as Children’s Pastor for over 21 years. Since April 2008, I have been traveling around the country doing children’s activities, training children’s workers, and conducting senior adult retreats and revivals. I have the ability to appeal to every age group. Having the ability to both teach and entertain at the same time, everything I do points men, women, boys and girls to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
